Hello and thank you for checking out my profile :0)I work nights and sleep during normal business hours so I am excited for Spring and seeing more of the sun.I enjoy laughter shared with good friends and sharing new experiences. I am a genuinely positive person and never leave home without a smile. I rarely get angry or upset as it's guaranteed that things will not always go according to plan and that's okay. I work hard and feel so fortunate to be where I am in life. I plan to make the most out of whatever comes my way. In the process of buying my first home so these are exciting times for sure.Travel is indeed a passion of mine and I have seen quite a few countries. Over the course of my travels I have kissed the Blarney Stone, enjoyed tapas and bullfighting in Madrid, savor gelato with friends in Sicily, and eat amazing seafood while watching local fishing boats offload their catch in Reykjavik. Diego Garcia has been one of my favorite destinations. The beaches were amazing and the coconut trees plentiful. Music would be another passion. I enjoy most types and am always up to experience something new. I enjoy indie, hip-hop, classic rock, R&B, jazz, blues, 80s, punk, and a host of other genres. I grew up playing percussion and when I'm in my car I love listening to something with a nice beat. Right now I'm really feeling the Weeknd, OneRepublic, Weezer, Drake, Matt and Kim, Empire of the Sun, The Roots, Kendrick Lamar, Wale, OutKast, and Fleetwood Mac among a host of others. I graduated from the WSU College of Nursing last spring which was pretty awesome. In a few years I will go back for my doctoral degree to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Every day I strive to be an advocate for those facing mental illness.I am very open-minded and can get along with just about anyone. I am serious when I have to be but enjoy being laid back and all smiles. I can enjoy a stimulating intellectual discussion one moment and be a total goofball the next. Life is all about balance. We are all uniquely flawed and here are some of mine. I could eat better, workout more, text less and call more. I can be stubborn when I feel I'm right but have no problem admitting and apologizing when I'm wrong. I can be disorganized when I have a lot going on. I am very motivated but, at times, plagued with self-doubt. I like to avoid conflict and believe that adults should be able to rationally handle disagreements. I am always striving for self-improvement but believe it's our imperfections and idiosyncrasies that make us individually perfect.I love good food but I’m not the best cook by any means. I do well at following recipes but am not a natural in the kitchen like a few of my friends. I'm still trying to perfect my pancakes and look forward to the day when I can take on the Thanksgiving Day turkey. I'm looking for my best friend! I find a woman with goals and dreams who works hard to reach them very attractive. I would enjoy meeting someone who can take life as it comes but make time to appreciate the simple things. I desire a woman with personality, ambition, and a mind of her own. One who is confident in herself but far from conceited. She would be comfortable with her flaws and slow to judge others on theirs. She would be genuine and not feel the need to impress. Being honest and respectful would be important to her and she would demand the same of others. Smile, laugh, learn, and love would be her motto.
