I am an honest, simple, down-to-earth, compassionate, no frills kind of girl. I value my family, close friends, my sobriety (7 years now and counting) and my higher power.In a partner I prefer honesty, integrity, loyalty, open-mindedness, respect, consideration and intimacy. I am not a social type person and tend to be a bit shy around those I do not know, but once the ice is broken I will talk your ear off. I am a hard working woman, grew up in the country, love my 2 dogs and 1 cat, spend much time outdoors doing yardwork, gardening and home improvement tasks.

On a first date I would take her out for a nice dinner to welcome the opportunity to talk and get to know one another. Afterwards I am up for anything, maybe a drive out to the lake, movies, playing some pool, or back to my place for a movie, coffee and more conversation. I don't want to rush into anything, rather take time to learn what "makes her tick"'
