I'm the type of person who lives life to the fullest. That's why a few years ago I picked up and moved to Colorado to experience a whole new approach to life. After learning to ski, encountering bears, being stuck in the middle of a white water rapid, and other various unique situations, this city girl returned home to Chicago. The tomboy in me loved the getting dirty while hiking, biking and camping but the feminine side of me missed dressing up, dining well and the entertainment of the city. I love red wine, the theatre and a good baseball game. (My grandfather made me a White Sox fan by the time I was six.)I'm pretty active and like to workout to stay fit. This past October, after alot of early mornings, packets of powergel and sore muscles, I crossed the finish line at the Chicago Marathon. I love music that makes me want to dance, a good book that I don't want to put down until after I turn that last page, conversation and laughter over a great bottle of wine and crossing off another item on my list of things I want to do in my lifetime. Travel has been a passion of mine as of late. I've enjoyed traveling through Europe but it only makes me realize there is so much more to see. Laughter and family are important to me and if you like to dance you've got my attention.I'm looking for a man that wants to live life to the fullest. Someone who can make me laugh and hold my hand when I cry at sad movies. Someone who wants to grab life by the tail and hold on for the ride. Someone to match wits with and give as good as I dish out. I'm a romantic at heart and small thoughtful gestures are the ones that melt my heart. I would like to meet someone who could become my best friend and the one I share all my dreams with. And having that special chemistry will make it complete.
