About me....I grew up in Chicago and live in downtown Salt Lake now...I'm not a cookie cut-out Mormon, even though i went to BYU and served a mission...I think I'm pretty dialed into the real world and real people. I love Chicago (and other places I've lived such as DC) and I love to see other places and travel but I've found a little niche in SLC for now...I like to have a good time with people i'm really close to--I used to have large circles of friends but now I am interested in having intimate and meaningful relationships with fewer people...

Even though I'm not a molly (and at the risk of sounding like one), I'm looking for a guy who has a strong testimony...but who isn't dogmatic. I think it's hard to find a balance between those two things sometimes, but I'm really looking for balance in my own life, as well as in a partner. Additionally, at the top of my list of important qualities would be intelligence, honesty and humor--someone who can share and really appreciate an inside joke with only me....and someone who enjoys giving and receiving affection.

I work now because I have to support myself--and I enjoy it for the most part--but my ultimate goal is to be a dedicated wife and mother. I'm not really that interested in playing online dating games...I'll be honest in saying that I'm looking for someone to develop a meaningful relationship with and who is dedicated to the same beliefs and values that I am.

I like to read, see movies, travel, cook and entertain people (I'm italian, I can't help it!), work in my garden and do family history (more molly sounding stuff, i know...).
