I joined the Church later in life after having been a free-spirited young woman. I am herpes positive. It is controlled with medication, but it is what it is. Since my conversion, I now adhere to the Gospel and its principles and keep my covenants. I am faithful and loyal and am searching for my eternal companion. I know that by my revealing the above information that I will be instantly rejected by most of the men on this site, but I believe that it is important to have this known up front. This is also the reason I do not have a picture displayed. A photo will be gladly sent to anyone interested enough to write and ask for it. Briefly, I am a 57 year old woman with short blond hair and blue-gray eyes. I have laugh lines around my eyes and a wide smile.
I am looking for a good man who can marry in the Temple. I want my husband to be the spiritual leader of our home, my best friend and confidante, and my lover. However I do want to have family prayer and scripture study and to attend the Temple regularly. I want to be able to share my feelings and opinions freely, and I offer you the same opportunity. I hate to argue, but welcome the chance to resolve differences calmly and compassionately. I offer you my sense of adventure, my loyalty, my sense of humor (bonus points if you can make me laugh), my kindness, my passion, and my whole heart. I like to spend a lot of time with my partner, but I do need a little alone time to gather my thoughts. I am physically affectionate when in a relationship, and need to have my affection reciprocated.
Btw I will probably not initiate contact beyond viewing your profile, so if you are considering contacting me, please feel free to do so as that is the only way we will ever get to know each other. I don't go where I'm not welcome, and this profile is designed the way it is so you can immediately know my situation and decide if you have any further interest. Thank you for your kindness.

I love the ocean and long walks on the beach. I also love the forest and getting out into nature. I generally love Heavenly Father's creations, but I avoid the desert in the summer because it gets too hot for me. This is unfortunate as I love being in the sun because it lifts my spirits, as in "There is Sunshine in my Soul Today."
I love animals, wild and domestic, and I enjoy visiting zoos to see them. I would also welcome your well-behaved warm blooded pets. I don't like spiders and snakes.
I enjoy travel; there is nothing like a change of scenery to add excitement to life. I like visiting museums, shows, exhibitions, and street fairs, and I like road trips as well as trips by air. I think I would enjoy a cruise, but haven't had the opportunity to try that method of travel yet. I would enthusiastically join you to attend any sporting events.
Family is important to me. I love my children and grandchild and love to see them regularly. I would also love to spend time with your family if you like. I am the only member of the Church in my family so far, but I have not given up hope.
I enjoy restaurants, but don't really have any favorites. I like finding new places and new dishes.
I enjoy many types and styles of music, from little blues cafes and jazz clubs to the Symphony, passing through oldies rock, country western bands at an Independence Day celebration, polka music at Octoberfest, and dub-step. However, I do not like vulgar lyrics in any genre.
I don't watch much television myself, but have been known to join in when others are watching something. I like movies, preferring comedies, but will watch other types as long as they are not R-rated or horror movies.
I greatly enjoy reading; I like books, magazines, professional journals and Internet research, as well as my Scriptures. I follow politics to some extent, am a registered Independent, vote in every election, support the Second Amendment, and tend to lean in a Conservative direction. I love the freedoms we have in this country and especially cherish the religious freedom which allowed the Gospel to be restored here and now allows us to worship according to the dictates of our consciences.
