I have many interests...including yoga; health,reading; music ( I am a flutist) and love both playing music and listening to live bands, and I especially love dancing to great music. I enjoy the beach, walking or biking the beach, working out, experimenting with new recipes...good conversation, movies, and traveling. I love hiking in the blue ridge mountains..and appreciate other parts of the world...besides our own! I have traveled to Italy, Alaska, and would like to go to France..someday. I am into a healthy lifestyle.(prefer nonsmoker) :) I love kids and animals,(don't they go together? ) and have an adorable Golden Retriever..I am close to my family, especially my 2 sisters....and they visit several times a year.

In relationships, I believe in honesty, integrity and open communication. I have always been loyal and I would find it difficult to be in a relationship that didnt posess these attributes.

If you are still in a relationship, or just "testing" the waters, or "not quite divorced" then I am probably not for you, although I wish you good luck.. but I believe closure is a necessary step before dating someone.

First date...casual,
