My introduction

I am a sweet, fun loving person who loves to laugh and have a good time. I have a really big heart, and am probably one of the coolest girls you will ever meet. I am really laid back and I do not get upset very easily. I joke around a lot, but I also know when it's time to be serious. I am an honest and genuine person, and I try to always do the right thing. I believe very strongly that the energy you put out in the universe will come back to you, whether it is good or bad, so I try to be as positive as I can. Recently, I have lost 230 pounds, and along my health journey I have learned to eat healthy and have become quite active. I workout at the gym six days a week, and I love to walk my dogs along the beach. I have a ton of energy, so ideally I would like to meet someone who can keep up with me....and/or someone who can push me to get outside of my comfort zone. I am a vegetarian, and have been for nearly 15 years, but I am absolutely open to dating carnivores. =) I come from a large-Irish Catholic, military family. We love to eat, joke around, and spend time together. My best friends are my siblings, and I am the favorite auntie to all of my nieces and nephews. I believe in going above and beyond when it comes to nurturing relationships with my loved ones. Family and friends are very important to me, as I come from a close-knit family. Ideally, I would like to meet someone with similar values, and a man that holds his family close to his heart. I love dinners at home and/or out, game nights, watching movies, and going to concerts, dinners, sporting events, etc. I enjoy watching movies, talking, writing, meditating, shopping at farmer's markets, volunteering, gardening, swimming, exercising, board games, and pretty much any outdoor activities. What I am looking for: A man who is kind, compassionate, friendly, family oriented, gentle, funny, loving, and loyal. The love of my life will also have to be someone who loves animals, and also a man that wants to really enjoy life. I am searching my best friend, and a life partner. If you are interested, please contact me. What I do NOT want: Couch potatoes and PERVERTS. If you are just looking to have cyber-sex...than don't bother messaging me..I am not going to send you naked pictures of myself, and you will just be wasting both of our time.
