I am a bagful of contradictions that I'm trying to reconcile - an athletic academic, a shy showoff, a spiritual smart-aleck - but somehow I think I've turned out to be an honest, caring, and ambitious person. Between work and raising my kids I try to carve out as much time for myself as I can, and I'm looking for a new friend to spend time with, share the things that are important to both of us. I've learned not to be too quick to entangle my life with someone else too soon, so I'm taking things slow, but open to new people and experiences.
