Above all else, I like to laugh. It doesn't take much to entertain me!

I love to cook, clean and organize (I know, I know)...but I can't do any of that if I don't have my music going! I listen to just about everything...though I don't really enjoy heavy metal or gangsta rap.

I love to read, paint, create, and I love spending time with my family!

I have two favorite seasons: the first is "camping weather" and I look forward to it all year...you know what I mean...nice and sunny during the day, a crisp, chilly evening around a fire...Ahhhhhh I can't wait! My other favorite season is Footbal Season! Being from Charlotte, NC, I am a huge Carolina Panthers Fan. I miss going to all the games!

I love to drive, but I am terrible at road trips...I have a blast, but it always takes me longer than it should to get anywhere because I like to stop and see things along the way.

I love sitting on the porch during a thunderstorm in the summer...its like the worlds' slate gets wiped clean.

Growing up, my dad was a DIY kind of guy...and I am the same way. Give me a bathroom to tile or a room to paint and I am happy!

I think that's all I should give away for now...if you want to know more, just ask!

A fist date should be as pain-free as possible. We're both going to be a little uncomfortable at first, so let's DO something...even if it is as simple as taking a walk! Let's save the dinner and a movie thing for the 3rd or 4th date, after we've had a chance to get to know each other a little bit!
