I have a good life, and I consider myself lucky to have a loving and supportive family and friends. I consider myself very lucky to have a job/career that I enjoy. I am an elementary teacher and have been for seven years. I am on this website, for the same reasons as everyone else. I have found that I have hit a certain age, I guess it was 30, I realized being in a relationship and sharing fun times with a significant other was lacking in my life. I figure it can’t be any worse than never trying and always wondering if I had missed out on that person. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, going to the movies, and walking my dog, a lovely Giant Schnauzer. She loves her long walks, no matter the weather conditions. I find myself doing the same things and going to the same places, I would like to meet someone new get out and do new things with that person, taking a chance. . .I guess!

I am friendly, fun, and hopeful

I am an educator and I spend all of my days and what seems like a good portion of my evenings grading papers, writing lesson plans, and going to countless meetings. . .but June, July and August are never too far away!

People who know me well normally comment that I am witty, however after rereading my profile information I think those people have been lying to me!

I have a lot of favorite books and movies. I read mystery novels, books about history, I enjoy travel books. . . One of my favorite travel books was one I read last summer The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific by J. Maarten Troost. I also enjoy Dave Eggers books, such as What is the What. My favorite music is anything that can be found on a top 20 station. My favorite television shows would be mostly anything on HGTV, love House Hunters. I could turn the volume down on most Seinfeld episodes and still know all the dialogue. I have too many favorite movies to list, and think Netflix is the a great creation.

The six things I could not do without would be my family, my dog, my friends, books, Coke Zero, and DVR.

On a typical Friday night I am out with friends from work, going for dinner and drinks, but I am also happy to go home on Fridays and catch up on television shows I missed during my busy week. On warmer days, I like to be outside as much as possible on Friday night and the weekends. Love a great beer garden, or a place to sit outside with friends have a drink or dinner.

I am not willing to say anything private and publish it on the internet- it would be a creepy place to put something private. . .

If you are between the ages of 28 and 38, you have a job or a direction in life and would like to get to know more about me.
