A few words to describe Amanda:

:: funny:: caring:: loving:: intelligent:: sincere :: honest :: perfectionist :: intriguing :: mysterious :: stubborn :: strong-minded :: strong :: outspoken :: rebel :: spunky :: feisty :: courageous :: independent :: amazing kisser :: creative :: silly :: workaholic :: world traveller:: loyal :: forgiving :: dynamic :: intriguing without intimidation

I could list more strengths/weaknesses, but what would that really do? Our true colors shine through in time and shine through differently depending upon the ones we are with. Maybe me being super early will help you stop your tardiness, or maybe my rigid planning can be helped with your spontaneity. Let's help one another.

Looking for: (1) Intelligent, (2) a great conversationalist, (3) goal-oriented, (4) open-minded, (5) handles and discusses emotions openly, (6) CLEAN--body and home, (7)creative, (8) puts the toilet seat down (if not you can be trained :P), (9) laughs a lot but can also be serious, (10) *if can sing, a bonus ;)* not a requirement.

If you're after one thing, stay away. I am first attracted to intellect-- I am not settling anymore. . . so I dare you,attempt to stimulate my mind! Think outside the box... challenge yourself to a new perspective. Try out someone else's shoes for a day. . . It's time people accept others for who they are and stops trying to change them. Focus on what you wish, but trying to change someone will not get you as far as you'd like.

I've gone against the grain my whole life and will continue to do so. Im excited about the woman I'm becoming and the relationships that continue to grow. I live daily on principle but I am not perfect, and I am not afraid to show you my wounds. I have lived and learned (always continuing to grow and learn), loved and lost, and excited for the things that await me in the future.

I will tell you, I'm a keeper. Hopefully someone is open-minded enough to accept me being a single mother. Don't fear the unknown, take a chance.My daughter is amazing and will always be number one in my eyes. Of course there is always room for another great love to compliment my life, not complete it. I will challenge you if needed and I am the girl next door.


my motto: Use your pain as power and never let anything stop you! don't take anything for granted. . . never know when your time or someone else's is up.


Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

The task AHEAD of you is NEVER as great as the POWER behind you.

I suppose the planning side of me would say to meet- do lunch or dinner, some activity whether it be golf, bowling, a walk... etc of course some GREAT conversation all along... but would also love someone that is spontaneous to just go with the flow with me! :) I would love to laugh so hard until I cry but also feel relaxed and at ease.
