Date men and women from United States / California / Orcutt, 43 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I WANT IT ALL! LOVE, LAUGHTER & A LIFE LIVED TO THE FULLEST!
I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, with mid-western values. Since graduating from high school, I have lived in Fort Worth, Texas (5 years) and Denver, Colorado (15 years) and moved to the Central Coast of California in July 2009. In addition, I have traveled all over the world...thanks to my sense of adventure and a thoroughly rewarding, lifelong career in the military.
As described by my closest friends, I am honest, kind, considerate, adventurous, spunky, spontaneous, optimistic, intelligent, compassionate, thoughtful, caring, patient, resourceful, and loyal. Simply put, I am just as comfortable dressed in a formal gown & heels as I am in a pair of sweats & a t-shirt as I am in a pair of combat boots & a flightsuit. I thoroughly love spending time with friends & family, exploring the outdoors (hiking, biking, kayaking, taking long walks on the beach, etc.), traveling around the world, learning about cultures different from my own, going to concerts, movies, & sporting events, and appreciating the little things in life that tend to get overlooked far too often. In essence, life is simply too short and I choose to live it to the fullest and would love to have someone in my life that has the very same intention.
Ultimately, I am seeking a like-minded individual that has a zest for life, has integrity, is kind & considerate, is easy going, has a sense of adventure, enjoys spending time with friends & family, articulates their thoughts and feelings well, has a sense of humor, loves to laugh, and is confident, but not arrogant or rude. Ultimately, I want someone to challenge me, excite me, encourage me, inspire me, laugh with me, and love me unconditionally, which will most definitely be reciprocated in return.
