I'm a pragmatic, authentic, "tell it like it is" person with a zest for life and do my best to find the humor in all situations (although many of my "intelligent quips" end up with the sounds of crickets chirping.... but I try). I strive to stay in the best physical and mental shape and enjoy anything to do with athletics (professional and college - Yes, Go BEAVERS!). I'm a golf nut and wish I could play more than I do (everyone typically says this) and will soon be tackling horse riding (this is serious) - Tony Horton with P90x taught me a great deal about pushing your physical (and mental) limits and I have been devoted to his kick butt workout regimen for over 15 months. I dare you to try it!! I love the outdoors and every activity associated with it and watch out at a campfire as there may be a random beer can "sneaked in" for some fun fireworks later in the evening...heh heh. I'm very comfortable in my own skin in all situations and try to make others feel this way too. I give my heart 101% to anything and everything I firmly believe in and what I am committed to. I love my 2 beautiful daughters to death (my little angels on earth) and enjoy spending as much quality time with them that I can. I'm a big fan of having strong family values/ties and surrounding myself with my close friends - especially those who can try to outwit me. I'm driven by the power of the mind and what I can accomplish when I've put my full effort and commitment towards an objective/goal. I tried my best at cat juggling but FAILED miserably - I also do my best to seek the best in people, circumstances, what is unique with who they are and what makes them tick. Anyone who's willing to be spontaneous is always desirable – I also strive to give my best in each situation even if it means making a mistake, as mistakes have served me well as solid learning tools...see cat juggling above. I enjoy meeting people who have ambition, quick wit, humor, confidence, creativity, and ambition. I feel that being reared in Oregon provided me a great foundation to the core of who I am and my easy going nature (no I'm not a tree hugger or former logger, I'm NOT A DUCK FAN, I don't wear Birkenstocks, I don't wear tie dye shirts, and I wash on a regular basis - I have tried cow tipping and it's a hoot! Plus I can swing dance with the best of them)....all of this said about the PACNW....I don't miss the weather WHATSOEVER, but love where I grew up.....I look forward to connecting, building some chemistry, seeing where things will go from there, as a long term relationship can always be the next connection.....
