A couple of key facts about me: I've moved at least once a year since 1997 - I've lived in 6 time zones: 5 states and 4 countries and now own a condo in NW DC. I'm fifth generation Texan, but grew up in the mountains of Colorado - at least until I was 13, then I started moving for a variety of (mostly good) reasons.
I have an old lady beagle who I got through a local rescue group almost 3 years ago. Our personalities are very similar - we both like walks and meals, and can be stubborn, but she's much more vocal about how excited she is when people give her attention!
I work as a support contractor for the Navy, which is fine for now but not a forever job. I was drawn to DC by the siren song of The West Wing, but somehow I got pulled in to the defense sector, which means that I don't know what exactly the rest of my career looks like.
I view every blank page in my passport somewhere I should be travelling. I've done a lot of travelling around Europe, and I went to Argentina and Chile for the first time last spring, but I've never been to Asia! I really need to go to Asia! (A colleague told me a story about climbing Mount Fuji, and now I really want to do it.) I love DC, but this can't be the last place I ever live.
I spend a lot of time cooking and baking - I try to eat well! I'm very excited in my main picture because this is my birthday and this is the first grilled cheese I ever made on a panini press (3 seed bread, herbed goat cheese, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese). It was yummy!
I'm not a person who has to be in a relationship - I'm pretty independent when I'm by myself, and I don't really have a need for people who take more away from my life than they bring to it. I want to date someone who wants to go out to movies and concerts and dinner, and talk about politics and celebrities, and generally expand my life and have me expand yours. I really want to go skydiving (I even bought a groupon a while ago), but I'm a wimp and know that no matter how big a game I talk on the ground, I will freak out at the door. I need someone who will lovingly push me out into the air. I don't really know who this guy looks like, and I like to keep an open mind! Since I am 29, I have l learned a couple of things - like that I can't date anyone who is less masculine than me (I own and can sort of use a power drill, but, honestly, this isn't meant to be a high bar).
I look forward to hearing from you!
