I’m back and I thought I would give it another try. Well how to describe myself… hmmm… well I have been told I am honest, caring, outgoing and extremely laid back (don’t sweat the small stuff)lady. I like to take life as it comes. I believe laughter is one of the keys to a happy life and being able to laugh at yourself and enjoy life to its fullest is essential!!! I am an eternal optimist and positive person, not in a Polyanna way; I am also a realist I just choose to be a positive and happy person (so much less drama that way). I love life and see life as an adventure to be lived to its fullest, spontaneity it the name of the game. Well in my life family and friends (dog too ) are #1!! I love my work and everything (well not everything lol) that goes with it!! I am a 678 grade special-education teacher in the inner-city. I absolutely love my job although it times challenging but what job isn't . Socially I like to go out with friends throw back a few watch the White Sox, Bears, Black Hawks.... , I do have my girly side of course in like to go out and get dolled up I also enjoy a night in, but of all I love being outdoors whether its hiking, biking, camping, going to the beach or my family's lake house. I do one-day want the whole package , Family, white picket fence, a dog... But for right now I am just looking to meet a genuine, honest and fun loving man with the possibility of more in the future. If this sparks your interest drop me a line and I look forward to hearing back from you.

I live in Chicago and I am a 6/7/8 th grade special education teacher in a Chicago public school in the inner-city.
