Love houses, floor plans, home improvement shows and home improvement projects. Have a guitar that I cannot play, but hope to begin learning one day soon. Want to continue learning French and pursuing my degree and eventually a Master’s. Love most all things outdoors and lots of outdoor activities. Love traveling and exploring. Love horseback riding. Love working in my flowers, early mornings when I have lots of time to read, and love good conversation with dear friends. Love working with women. Hope to one day be a part of teaching self-defense to women – especially young girls and women living in underdeveloped countries. Plan to live to be at least 100 yrs. old (with a strong mind and a strong body :)) as I still have lots of dreams that I would like to pursue…
