OK... This is definitely the hard part. I am not sure what I am expecting or hoping for here. I am just going to type what comes to mind and cross my fingers it all comes out ok. LOL!

For the past 12 years, I have lived in NWA. I grew up in southeast Iowa.
I have an 9 year old son and he is definitely my buddy. He seems to have 100x more energy than me!! He keeps things exciting when we are together. Often, I am double checking his homework or looking at a book that he promises is a good read!! LOL!!

I consider myself pretty laid back. I enjoy grilling out/cooking (I am always looking for something new to try and master in the kitchen), camping, fishing, bike rides with my son, and catching a Naturals or HOGS game when I can. I also like to go to the movies, but this seems to be hit and miss lately. The cooler weather setting may get me to the movies more often. I don't mind hitting a haunted house or two this time of year either.

Since I work outside everyday, there are days I like to come home and chill inside for the evening. I enjoy trying new restaurants and going to new places. My future plans include traveling the U.S. and beyond, whether it be by plane or a nice long road trip. I have a passport burning a hole in my pocket!! HAHA!! I had the chance to use it recently on a trip to Cancun and would like get a few more stamps in it. Amusement and water parks have always been a fun place. I have come to the conclusion I am not as brave as my son on some of the rides anymore though! HAHA! I like to listen to all types of music. It just depends on my mood. I have xm radio that easily covers all my music needs and then some. If this sounds interesting and worth giving a shot... you won't know until you try. We are all here for the same thing, right??
**** I am guilty of taking forever to answer messages. Sometimes a response requires more than a LOL or a hello.****

I am not sure what a good first date would be. Depends on my date,the time of year and the weather. If its cold or hot or maybe raining.. A first date could be an inside setting or an outside activity. I wouldn't be against a Naturals game or some other casual laidback evening. I think dinner would have to be in there somewhere. A little time at the bowling alley would be good also. Another option after all this could be heading back over to one of the restaurants for a late night dessert and a drink. I think a little down time and a chance for some more conversation after spending some time together may lead to some easy talking. Just a fun and carefree evening. I am open to your ideas too!!
