I’m excited about life and hoping to find someone excited about theirs. I’m adventurous at times, a homebody at times, but always easygoing, open-minded, and take things in stride. I've had the opportunity to do some travelling over the years and have developed a passion for culture. I equally love spending down-time with friends and family, and would happily spend a Friday night hosting a relaxed dinner party or BBQ or head out for a late night coffee or drink with a friend. I have great people in my life but am looking forward to finding my partner in crime.

Some things you should know about me:
- I don’t care much for having a lot of “stuff”
- I try to eat clean and healthy, but could never entirely
give up certain foods (i.e. sushi buffet, chocolate chip cookies, mac. and cheese, etc.)
- I play a kick-ass game of poker, scrabble, and boggle
- I dance when no one’s looking
- Google and YouTube are my friends

Ultimately, I’m looking for someone I can connect with and build an awesome life with. Some qualities I admire include open-mindedness, honesty, integrity, humility, passion, confidence, and ambition. A sense of style is fine but caring too much about how you look/dress is a pretty big turn off for me. I’m looking for a man who knows he wants children (not necessarily in the near future), and someone who feels having a good work/play balance is important.

I recently completed a graduate program in education and will be restarting work come September. I love my line of work and enjoy making a difference in children’s lives. Children are awesome :)

Getting ready in under 5 minutes, getting things done, not taking things too seriously, cooking up a delicious storm.

You go ahead and answer that one :)

I can list all the things I enjoy but I honestly don't think they say anything about compatibility or chemistry! If you're curious though, I'll list a few...

How I wish summer weather were year-round in Canada, how I could maximize my time better with friends and family, how I could pay less in car insurance...

Out with friends for coffee, dinner, or drinks, on my computer researching something random, doing laundry or cleaning.

I love taking long showers...really long showers.

You also feel this whole dating process is unnatural and hope to move past it!
