Hi. I guess I'll tell you a little about myself first. I'm recently divorced-about a year now. I have five kids ranging from 23 to 14, and my favorite days are when I'm with them.

Let's see, I grew up in Southern California but have lived in Utah and Idaho the past 20 years or so. I got a job at a software company in Utah (I'm a technical writer) right after I graduated from BYU and just stayed here, minus a four-year stint in Idaho recently.

I love the Lord and try to place Him first. I'm certainly not perfect at it, but I'm happiest when that's what I'm trying to do. I attend the temple often and find a lot of comfort in doing that.

I am looking to get to know someone with similar interests, though it's always good to try new things. It's most important to me that I meet someone with a strong spiritual foundation and who is family-centered.

It's been a long (very long) time since I've even thought about getting to know someone as a friend and possible companion, so just know that this is a little unnerving for me. (I "almost" signed up for a service like this half a dozen times.)

My work and staying in touch with my kids keeps me busy, but I'd like to find time for a relationship with someone who is kind, caring, and loving. (A little mutual attraction wouldn't be bad either.)

My interests are mainly reading (mostly classic literature and non-fiction), music (I play piano), going places (love to drive to places I've never been), and watching football and basketball (thought I'd better mention that up front).
