I've recently divorced, moved from Wyoming and don't know many people. I live in Davis County, work in Salt Lake. I have two young boys that are very active, and they consume most of my free time. I'd like to be friends with someone with kids as well, so it can be a play date for them as well as grownup time for us. I'm willing to work for a relationship, once there's an established friendship made. General friends and people to hang out with are great too!

I have been thrown many curveballs in my life and I am trying to learn from them. I also believe in honesty and will tell you now that I was inactive in the church for many years. Returned to full activity in mid-2007 after the death of the greatest man I ever knew, my father. Temple worthy and I am currently the Webelos Asst in my ward.

Because of my previous inactivity I feel inadequate and small compared to those around me. I am looking for someone who is spiritually tall and emotionally strong who can be supportive to me and my children as we progress through this life, grow spiritually and learn all we can. My oldest boy wants to serve a mission; because of this I would prefer a relationship with someone who has served a mission - stories of the gospel and of conversion interest my son and I feel that would be a great example for him. My youngest is a struggle and I worry that without that type of proper example he may choose a different path in life, as his father did. Personally coming from that path and having to learn from those mistakes, what future path he may choose scares me tremendously.

I'm a geek. I've been around computers since junior high, and have enjoyed them all my life. Everything I know has come from being self-taught and absorbing all I can from the internet, information from others and my own experiences. I want to pursue higher education - something I never did when I was younger and now regret not doing so. I did attend WSU for a year, but not in education. In the 90-91 year I had a full schedule of Institute classes which included the choir.

I work because it is necessary. Would I stay home and take care of my children, or others that may be in my care? Yes, if one income could provide for our needs and allow us to save for retirement.

I'm quite independent. As a single mom I have to take care of everything and am unable to rely on anyone else. Because of these things, I am trying to offer my children some stability; as they are both boys, they need a reliable, dependable and trustworthy male role model, and father.

Do I want more kids, or would I be interested in a man who has his own? For the record, I'm the product of a yours-mine-ours family - so you can answer that one on your own. :)

I'm also a talker - wordy in comparison to many others. I enjoy intelligent and enlightened conversation - but don't take this wrong! I enjoy frivolity as much as the next person.

I'm not a shopper. I don't go and buy things because they are "on sale" or "I want it" - your wallet is safe with me! :)

I love the outdoors. I love to fish for fun and food (one time I was at Strawberry Res and with 5 people in our party and 11 fish caught, 7 were mine). I like camping and boating but I haven't had very many opportunities in recent years to do so. Our family recently purchased all new bikes and we like to ride together. Both of my children taught themselves to ride a bike (no training wheels) in less than an hour. What talent! They must take after their mother..... I am a fast learner, and usually absorb the things around me.

I have many interests and hobbies, but my kids keep me busy and I don't have a lot of time to myself. I enjoy photography, scrapbooking, cooking, working on the computer and the internet (web 2.0 intrigues me). I like to read, I like to go to the park with the kids, the library with them, and try to do things that are fun and educational for them. I love to go to the movies, but it's not in the current budget.

I'm fumbling with the bass guitar.... trying to learn. It's fun, but I stink! I would love to take some lessons and figure out if I really like doing this or not!

I was in the band all through junior high and high school. I played the trombone, baritone, french and english horns. I had lots of friends in band who would let me try their instruments - so I fumbled with the flute, the tuba and the saxophone (I was a brass girl, reed instruments were difficult).

I love to sing. I enjoy church music, karaoke, singing in the shower and the car. My father had a dream of being in the Tabernacle Choir, something I would love to be able to do (yet I feel my talent is inadequate). I love music of all kinds, with a higher tolerance to some more than others.

Here's a fair warning - If my profile worries you - my years of inactivity and the struggles I have with my children - look elsewhere. This is me. Nobody is perfect. My choices made me who I am today - whether good or bad. The trick to it all is learning from them so they aren't made again. Are you the person who can understand these complexities? Are you intrigued on how much truth of myself I've put on this site? Then send me a message and let's see if we can be friends.

I'm sure there's more about me I haven't said (even though I've said a mouthful). Just ask. I am a paid member so I can receive your messages.

I intend on putting more pictures online - but as I'm usually the one holding the camera they are hard to find. The one I have here now was taken Feb 2007.
