About Me:

Hello friends! Looking for that unique woman to stand with me through eternity as my best friend & beloved partner. I am quite shy at first, but not so much once you know me. Love car camping in Zion & Yellowstone. Cats rule; had them all my life! Love reading, especially high fantasy like Tolkien & Terry Brooks. Degree in choral music education, but don't teach now. Couldn't master piano, darn it! Raised with classical music & love it, but also love Sting, Chicago, Styx, etc. Star Trek: The Next Generation & Star Trek: Voyager are great!

LDS singles I'd Like to Meet:

I admire a woman with intelligence, a quick wit, and a great sense of humor. I don't mean she laughs at all my jokes, but can laugh at life, and at herself. I also think a quote from Anne of Green Gables works for me: "I wouldn't marry (or date) anyone who was REALLY wicked, but I think I'd like it if she COULD be wicked, and wouldn't!" If you get the humor in that, you get me as well. Strong faith in the Gospel is also very important; to be honest, I need all the help I can get! Kindness and empathy are huge plusses! I'd like being with a woman who is equally comfortable going hiking and going to the symphony. Someone who likes quiet evenings as well as roller coasters! I think a great first date would be going to dinner and/or a walk in a park in the evening afterwards. Time to talk and get to know each other.

Church of Jesus Christ:

I have had multiple personal experiences with the Spirit throughout my life; they have told me in no uncertain terms that the Gospel is true, even (maybe I should say especially) when I feel it's not. That happens to all of us at times & it can lead us forward in ways we don't expect. I'm so thankful for our Father and our Savior and their love for us. It humbles me and fills me with wonder to realize they are right there for me in my darkest hours. I know I need to improve in so many ways, including church attendance (so hard to be single in a church that constantly stresses the importance of marriage). Working on it! Served my mission in Japan.
