I was born and raised in Kentucky. I'm a simple girl who likes the outdoors. I don't mind getting all dressed up occasionally but mostly I just love to be comfortable in a pair of jeans and my hair pulled back in a pony tail. I talk a lot, thanks to growing up with my Mom who never stops! But I try to let others get in a word or two, I promise! I recently graduated with my Associates and Registration in Medical Assisting this past November. I am working in a Dermatology office and love what I do! I work with all women though so I don't always love going in to work ...ya know what I mean? I love to spend time outdoors. I like to camp, fish, go on hikes or nature walks, boating, working in my yard or garden, or even just sitting out on my large front porch watching the local traffic pass by. I love to read. I will read most anything but don't really care for your typical romance novel type of books. I'm more of a murder/mystery, sci-fi, horror type of girl. I'm health conscious and have in the past few years started eating healthier and exercising more. It's important to me that I am involved with others who are also health conscious. I love to cook, especially meals that include something I've picked fresh out of my garden! I'm very active and would rather be doing something than watching something. Except for sports. I'm not athletic at all, so I just watch! I love to watch KY basketball and any pro teams that my KY boys have been signed on. I also love to go to local hockey games but I don't have a favorite team (yet). I consider myself to be quite self-sufficient and I've noticed that it seems to aggravate me when I'm around people who are not. I like to have a drink occasionally, whether it be a glass of wine or a good imported beer or just a glass of spiced rum and diet rootbeer, but it's more a social thing and I don't feel the need to "party" all the time and don't really wish to be around someone who does. I do occasionally smoke cigarettes when I have a drink but I'm trying to give it up completely. I have grown up going to church but after my divorce have not been to mine but a few times since. I still have my faith but I have questioned who I really am and feel that I still need a lot of work in that area. I ran with the wrong crowd when I was younger and have an interesting past because of it. I'm not proud of everything I've done but I wouldn't change anything because it has made me who I am today. I hope that doesn't sound too cliche! I'm divorced, as I mentioned earlier, and not looking to ever be married again. That isn't to say that I do not want a serious relationship. I want to be with someone who has to chose to be committed to me on a daily basis and not just take up my space because we are bound by law. I have a daughter that is going to college in PA and two step children that I'm still very close to. My children are my world! I think that should cover just about everything ... If there's anything else you feel you need to know about me message me and I'll tell you!

As I said earlier, I recently graduated with an Associates in Medical Assisting. I started going to school when I suspected I would be losing my previous job, was unemployed for 10 months, doubled up on classes so I could graduate early, and now am working at Hudson Dermatology which is a private practice. Not making as much money as I would if I were to work in a hospital but I really enjoy what I'm doing and all the cool things I get to do where I work.

Cooking a homemade meal from things I've grown in my garden ... Making people laugh ... Drinking wine ... I'm sure there is more but I guess you will have to be the judge.

My personality or my Southern accent. That's not to say they don't notice my good looks or charm ... ;-)

I read the Twilight series and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with my daughter and enjoyed both. I also enjoyed reading the Left Behind series. I used to be a real Stephen King buff but haven't read anything of his lately. I enjoy a wide range of reading. I read horror, sci-fi, the classics, murder mystery, religious fiction, nonfiction on organic gardening techniques, recipe books, and currently what ever I can get free on my Kindle :) Not too much in to movies but when I do watch them I tend to go for humorous ones or the typical "girlie" movies and definately the cheesy scary ones. I do not currently watch any TV shows. Not to say I don't have shows I've liked in the past but if I'm going to have idle time, I would rather be outside, reading a book, or listening to music. I like several different types of music but I mostly listen to classic rock or hard rock. As far as food goes I try to eat healthy most of the time but love to snack. I love Mexican food with Italian or Chinese coming in for a close second. I like sushi and will try almost anything once. Almost.

My children
Family and friends
A fulfilling career
Outdoor time
My garden
My Kindle Fire!

What the next step is in my life. I've gone through a lot of major changes lately and just wonder what direction my life will take next.

I'm afraid I do not lead a very interresting life. I'm either chillin in sweats catching up on rest from my hectic week or doing house work. Once it gets warm out again I will probably be out dancing or hanging with friends. I'm a hermit in the winter time though!

My life is an open book. If there is something you would like to know, all you have to do is ask.

If you are looking for someone who enjoys fun outdoor things, trying something new, eating good food or drinking good wine, listening to or making music, or just someone to hang out with or talk to ... I'm looking for someone to go do those things with that aren't so fun to do alone. I really just want some one to hang out with but if it turns into something more that's fine too! I'm more open to a relationship now that I don't have such a busy schedule.
