well,.. i've done a lot of changing in the last year. i've met some fantastic people, and some shady ones. i closed one chapter of my life to open a new one, and i also lost some old responsibilities while gaining others. my time is now taken up spending time with the people that matter most to me including close friends and family, and working while going to school full time.

my best friend in the world is my hundred pound doberman, so my ideal mate must love dogs (yes he sleeps with me, and even eats better than i do). i'd like to be friends first, then we can see where it goes. i'd also prefer a taller guy. since im 5'7" barefoot and close to 5'11" in heels,.. id rather feel like a lady than a giant next to my guy,.. (also, if you're old enough to be my dad than i'm not the woman for you).

hobbies include camping, horseback riding, reading, cooking, 4x4 anything, and spending time on the lake or on a pool league when the season is right. i really prefer to mix it up some during the week. i may occassionally head to the bar with one of my girlfriends to grab a beer and some conversation(although its rare with my work/school schedule), but most of the time i would rather be bowling, playing lazer tag, or even hanging back at the house with dinner and a movie. i definitely dont do clubs,.. ever lol,.. not a big fan of overpriced drinks, screaming over the music, or underage kids drinking that cant handle their liquor.

over all i would have to say that i lead a pretty blessed life. the only thing that could make it any better would be finding a decent person to share it with,.. but until i find that guy, id rather be single and happy then settle for less than perfect. if you wanna know anything else then feel free to drop me a line and ask.

the first date should be relaxed and casual,.. whether its a picnic by the lake or dinner and a movie. its really all about attitude. treating me like a lady is the fastest way to get close to me.
