I'm a Yankee transplant that moved here from Chicago about 2 years ago.

I value healthy living and the ability to relax. Some people are just too go-go-go in today's world, never taking the time to stop and smell the roses. Work is important but it is just that; work. Although I run my own business, it is not my life and it does not define who I am.

Animals are a very important part of my life, I own a 50 acre horse farm and have 3 dogs, 2 mini horses and a few barn cats.

My friends would describe me as passionate yet reserved. I speak my mind when needed, sometimes not holding back when I should. I have no troubles taking control of a situation and making decisions. I like to live life with no regrets. Strongly opinionated , but I can be won over with an intelligent argument. I have a tendency to be overly sarcastic and have a soft spot in my heart for dry humor.

Honesty and openness are very important to me. Without that level of communication, any sort of relationship I have is not complete.

More of a stay at home and cuddle on the couch, than go out to the bar and party type of person.

Go with the flow.
