I am a self proclaimed nerd that firmly believes maturity is a state of mind... and has nothing to do with age.

I graduated HS in Alaska. I have two college degrees; one in Aircraft Maintenance from Texas ( I was a mechanic for 8 years) and one in Commercial Architecture and Design from Brown (which I am currently practicing). I am also taking online classes with Harvard right now. You know what they say. .. The Glory of God is intelligence... Although I feel less glorious after every class I take. ..

That being said, I love to read ( a lot! ), museums of all sorts, and the performing arts (told you! NERD ALERT!) I also have a ferocious streak of invincibility syndrome and like to repair my own car, do my own repairs and home improvement projects, and strive to slay the Jabberwocki (affectionate name of my laundry monster) with fervor and gusto.

I am a proud member of the primary presidency. Secretly my favorite callings have been with the 12-13 year olds. And modestly, I'm one freakin awesome teacher.

I have 3 kids that dazzle me daily with their amazing amazingness. I'm also a "mama bear" so this concludes further info on Thing 1, Thing 2, and That Thing.

I enjoy the calibur of witty people. Quite frankly, that could be anyone since I am easily amused. As you can tell, I take myself QUITE seriously (or not!)

What I am looking for: an intelligent conversation that doesn't center around Dora the Explorer or Courage the Cowardly Dog. I am not looking for mah-wige as I am recently divorced... and I don't want to date outside of the church due to differences in standards and the unrealistic expectations that most of society deems "normal" after a first date.

So. Here I am.

What do I think is fun? Silly question. I like fun things of every sort!

After living in Alaska I've got that outdoorsy stuff in mah blud.
(Mother nature fan. Check)

After my third child was born I broke my arm Roller Blading. Apparently my equilibrium has changed since I was 18.
(Wonky stunts. Check)

I was having breakfast at LaMadelines in Jackson Square down in New Orleans the day Katrina came to town.
(Love to travel. Check.) ...now to work on that timing thing...

I can not, will not, ever get tired of road trips. Consider this fair warning. I have a lead foot and have been known to try breaking the sound barrier... With my Hyundai. wOot!

(Aspirations of adding race car driver to my resume. Check)

Although i am impressed by the testimonies others have felt to share on this forum, I don't feel the need to express my testimony on this site. If I didn't have one, I wouldn't be here. I feel that testimony is an action word. Talk is cheap. Put your money where your mouth is.

In closing, I would be incredibly surprised if I receive any messages. I'm quirky, assertive, and opinionated. BUT, I like to laugh and I like to make others laugh. Should you feel inclined to pursue the challenge of cultivating a relationship... I, in return, can offer you all of me and nothing more.
