Our lives are stabalized by centering ourselves on the Gospel and Jesus Christs' teachings - and seek someone that strives for the same things as we do. Soon, my son being 15, there won't be a "we" will there?! "WE" were just baptized within the last 4 years and the conversion has been SO sweet. I look at things like the good old "building blocks" talk because it is too true how the Lord just takes us and helps us if we just take one little step at a time- make a few changes as we move along, we will look back tomorrow and not even recognize the one yesterday. We know that we are a very blessed little family but realize where real happiness is found, hello, Can anyone Say: Help Meet? ...duh. (sisters just know how to do "stuff" he he) You know, Stuff just has a pretty broad definition to it too. The ideal companion for me would be someone that is loyal, stable in her stance in the gospel, has a sweet sense of humor, can let me make fun of myself and will laugh at me/ or even with me! I have been with a possible future companion that hid secrets of very important matters from me and told me that it was not happening and was hard for me to help manage the relationship "with" her because of the dishonesty (money, tithe, worthiness...etc) ~ (S-ok, just explaining that I am not perfect & but have been scared prior! I am not ruined, promise.) I guess what I was trying to say was that Honesty is my policy and hope that catches your heart as well. Thanks for understanding that difficult thing to say. I can get through ANYTHING with you, as long as we are being honest with each other, especially TO: ourselves! Contrary to the spinal surgery I just had 9 weeks ago: I Hike, Camp, Backpack and explore here in the Cascades. (Or will again!) We are originally from Arizona and California, so being here where the trees are green and the air is pure - is a real treat for us. We play all the time and just love to explore the out doors. My 15 year old son tells me that we are moving once he returns from his mission, We will just have to take that one step at a time. I think he is referring to access to sunlight and UV exposure?! Can anyone say it rains only twice in Washington? (Once in the winter: September to June and once in the summer: June until September) If you are interested in writing and think you should introduce yourself- well, I hope you do. Take care, (Don't let that back surgery comment scare you away, I will be good to go soon :)

Pardon that photo, looks large huh?! Ahem, the hand on my shoulder is my best friends....non female, that is my sons.

Well, before the car accident and spinal surgery: I used to play racquetball, tennis, backpack, Yes, just last summer we did the Grand Canyon** hiking, Coached baseball and basketball for youth activities and many other outdoor physical sports! --- now what do I do today?!! I wait for the rehab of this recent surgery to do its job!!(So I can get RIGHT BACK TO IT!!! I am still the same man, ready to go, as soon as possible..I LOVE the outdoors and up here in the PAcific Northwest, there is a LOT of it to explore, even a daytrip in the car is awesome here!......

I enjoy reading a good book, I am interested in church history, I like listening to good music, I seem to be losing my interest in the stuff I "used" to listen to ha ha.....uh oh! He's softening!! That is a good thing, I am a differnt guy that is for sure, that is a good thing.
