I love the little things in life and that's what makes me happy. Lattes, people watching, road trips, & good conversation are among my favorites. Family, friends, traveling, art, music and good food are also on this list. Being honest, affectionate, and respectful are just a few traits I have to offer someone. I give a lot to a relationship and expect it back. I have dated my fair share of toads and hope to one day find my "prince". I know that fairy tales don't exist but hope to find someone that comes close and is a good match for me. I know what I want and won't settle for anything less. I don't want to be impressed; I want someone who is respectful, loving, affectionate and has integrity long after the honeymoon stage is over.

I also LOVE going to the city every chance I get. It's such a great place and it has so much to offer. I'm never disappointed. Going out to dinner or getting drinks with friends is favorite past time but I also find comfort in staying in and being cozy on the couch watching a movie.

Normally I am a first grade teacher and have been loving my job for the last 13 years. But this year, I am teaching a K/1 combo class. It's a lot of work but enjoy every minute of it. My kids are hilarious and they say the funniest things.

I also enjoy working out and taking boxing classes. I like being outside and I try to take time to "smell the roses" whenever I can. I travel every chance I get and enjoy seeing new places. Hopefully someday I will get to go to Europe...it's definitely on my bucket list.

giving a lot to a relationship, keeping close contact with friends and family, noticing things on TV or in movies that should have been edited (Not sure where this comes from.) I also have a knack for knowing the names of a lot of actors and what TV shows or movies they were in. The last two are silly but true. :)
