I'm a classically trained violinist, and absolutely love children. I'm looking for someone who is comfortable with themselves, and strong in their faith. I really want a family, but more importantly, I'm looking for a partner to live out my life with.

I currently play the violin in my church orchestra and various symphonies/groups around the state, as well as teach and volunteer with local school orchestras. I'll start playing on cruise lines next year, so we'll see how that turns out. Some things I enjoy are my dogs, various cooking adventures, playing my violin, and some online games. I recently baked my first chocolate cake, and my co-workers seemed to enjoy it. I also thoroughly enjoy riding my bike around the lake, sunsets, the ocean, and live performances (opera, theatre, symphonic).

My ideal first date would vary, of course, depending on how well we've come to know each other. If we've chatted online, I'm sure it would be more about enjoying each other than getting to know the other person. In this case, a show may be appropriate, such as a local performance or even a movie. However, if it's an occasion for getting to know you, I'd probably prefer a light lunch date, or an evening walk around the lake.
