I enjoy spending time with my children and being involved in their activities. They are my life! However, I do enjoy adult time as well. I like to read, walk my dogs, watch movies, garden.

I would like to travel more than just for my job. I would like to see places I've never seen before. My goal for 2010 is to take my kids to Disney World.

I am caring, trustworthy, honest. I expect the same in a relationship, no matter how serious. I have finally learned how to respect myself and expect the same from a partner. Faithfulness and good communication in a relationship is very important to me. I enjoy helping people, especially those less fortunate.

I like country music, with some pop mixed in. I also like jazz and classical. I love 80"s rock 'n roll...they don't make it like they used to!

Oh gosh, it's been 9 years since I've had to think about a first date! Maybe dinner at a nice restaurant, followed by a visit to a coffee shop for great coffee and conversation. A walk along the beach would be nice too, but that would be a little difficult to do in Iowa! Maybe just a walk along a river on a clear night, talking and star gazing.
