Independent, straightforward, honest, loyal, and generous are the words used by my friends to describe me. Loving and raising two children are a major part of my life at this time. However, it would be nice to have someone who can help me find the balance between family, business and play.

I am more comfortable in jeans and t-shirts (or cutoffs and swimsuits), but I do possess the necessary artistic skills to dress and conduct myself in any situation.

The man I want to meet: Independent, honest, secure/confident, educated, intelligent, and romantic. He'll have the hands of an outdoorsman and will look good in a pair of jeans. Must love kids, animals, water stuff, travel, exercise and outdoors. (This time, I want it all!)
