President Kimball said to DO IT. I try to follow his example. I don't often sit idle. I am an action person. I feel as though if I am not doing something I just might start growing mildew behind the ears. (Living in the Pacific Northwest, this is always a possibility anyhow. Hey, my car gets that darn green stuff growing in places that you wouldn't believe.)

Do you truly love the gospel, have a strong testimony, honor your Priesthood and appreciate the worth of a woman? Plain and simple...this is such a big part of the Eternal Plan. We need to remember that we are of infinite worth. I know that I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father and want to be treated as such.

I want to hang out with someone who likes to have FUN, is loving, and doesn't mind showing his affection for a woman. I think that we are all here for a divine purpose and one of them is to have an Eternal companion. If you agree with this, then why are we afraid to take the first step? If we are not emtionally available then what are we doing on singles websites? Why are we afraid to let someone know that you might be interested in getting to know them? What is the worse thing that can happen? A friendship? - that isn't so bad, is it?

I was blessed with two great kids. My oldest graduated from high school in 2006 and is going to college in Seattle. As an incoming freshman, he was selected as the lead jazz band drummer-COOL! My youngest just started first grade and is a pistol. She has quit an infectious laugh and loves new challenges. She and I enjoy playing games (most of which she can beat me. I don't know if that tells you something about her or about me...hmmmm....) We love playing dolls, having tea parties, going for walks, and cooking/baking together.

I believe in living the gospel standards. They are called standards for a reason. I love the Lord and I am trying to live a righteous life. I believe that this is the key - righteousness, not perfection. I value my temple recommend and whether I am able to attend frequently or not I know that it is important that I stay worthy of the temple blessings.

I love music and have played the piano since I was six years old. I play an upright piano that is over 100 years old. My home is filled with music. My son is an avid musician and wants to attend BYU and continue this passion after his mission.

I love to doing just about any craftly. Don't worry - I am not a scrapbooker so I don't have glue and little bits of paper all around my house. Nothing against those who scrapbook, but I still don't understand why people do it. I enjoy sewing and can whip up anything from curtains to pajamas in a split second. I enjoy the challenge of making something two dimensional into three.

I love to cook and bake. Growing up in the Southwest I have a pretty good idea how authentic Mexican foods should taste. However, I have a difficult time finding really good green chile. The sacrifices that I have to make! Also, I love to camp and fish. Yes, a girl that actually enjoys fishing. Let's just say that I am a good catch, no pun intended. I love the beach, jet skiing, and boating. I suppose that anything near the water is great.
