I can't believe I'm actually 42 years young now! Seems like I'm too young to be middle aged! It's been almost 3 years since I've been single again after almost 19 years of marriage. I have three boys (18, 9, and 1. Besides being a mom and employed full time, I enjoy being outdoors (swimming, hiking, canoeing, biking, little league sports, etc). The people who know me best know that I tend to be a prankster and love to laugh and enjoy life! Some of the more exciting things I've done in my life is scuba dive, white water rafted on the Snake River, bungee jumped for my 30th birthday, skydived for my 40th birthday and am looking forward to what I can do on my 50th birthday!
More than anything I would like to establish a base of friendships. I love getting email so a pen-pal is a good idea also! I love life and enjoy practical jokes and laughter! I'm almost always smiling!
My Ideal Person
I want a partner who is Christ-centered and not ashamed of his relationship with Christ. I want someone who is responsible with his time, energy and money. I want someone who will love me unconditionally and whole-heartedly and accept my children as the blessings that they are. God has blessed me beyone my comprehension and I want someone who will praise Him with me and grow with me in my relationship with Him; to be willing to let God take the lead in our relationship and guide us to whatever life holds for us.

Extremely important! Without Christ I could not and would not be able to confront each day and be confident that my future is going to be great and get better!

Jeremiah 29:11 - I know what things I have planned for you...good things and not bad.
Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
If my partner is Christ-centered then I know without a doubt that I will be loved as Christ loves me. I want someone I can spend eternity with!
Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I grew up in southern Oklahoma in a very small town. I didn't leave there until I went to college in Ada. I met my former husband and he joined the Navy. We lived in Florida, Idaho, San Diego, Guam, Wisconsin, Illinois and Texas. My favorite of those places was Guam - very tropical and laid back. My favorite place to visit in Texas is Dinosaur Valley State Park. I love the ocean so anyplace on the coast is a great place to visit.
What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
I love outdoor activities and I love to play volleyball. I enjoy staying busy and visiting.
What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
I work an 8-5 job 5 days a week and I'm a single mom. So my time is either working or doing chores around the house and keeping it clean. But I would much rather be outside playing in the water or doing things with my boys. I unwind on my drive home from work, pick up my sons and play with them a little before I start dinner. Some nights are more hectic than others since we have Cub Scouts, sports, church, but on those "off" nights, we will do homework, play outside, sometimes get into "tickle matches" and just have a nice evening together.
What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
To some day meet my soul-mate. To find a place in the church where I can be active and not just a bench warmer. To enjoy life for the sake of living and not for the sake of making a living.
