As for me as a person, I try to be the best person that I can be. No one is perfect so I do not try to be so, but I try to do my best. I am a shy person at first, but once I get to know you, watch out, I probably won't shut up. I do not believe in regretting anything, everything happens for a reason, and I try to find a positive from a negative. I think this is one of the things that helps me become a better person. I welcome life lessons, and try my hardest to learn from them. I am looking for someone who can be my friend first, and down the road if the feelings are mutual, make it into something more. I'm not looking to jump into a relationship, but I'm not against it either. I love my family and friends more than anything in the world, and with out their support, I wouldn't be where I am now. I would love to meet someone with the same love of their family. I try to be a very self sufficient person. I have been with the same place of employment for over 8 years now, and I love what I do. I might not always like everything about it, but I see this as my career, not just a job. I am currently looking to buy my first house. Apartment living is alright, but I think it is time to grow up a little bit more. I have been looking for over a year now on and off. I am just waiting for the perfect place to come along. I think I would want to get a fixer upper, but I'm a little afraid of the task it would bring. I don't know how to do a lot of repairs, but I am interested in learning. My favorite quote is one I like to live by: ~Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love Truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you Smile. Make me smile, you have my attention, make me laugh, you have become my friend, but capture my heart, and I'll be yours forever!
