Date women from United States / California / Rocklin, 48 year old

Date someone special from Rocklin, United States. I am a petite blonde who has lots of energy I work for an environmental engineering company in Sacramento where I am a Project Manager. I enjoy trying new recipes, laughing, talking, and just being with someone special. I love life, am told that I am generally easy going and have a positive outlook on life. I do not smoke- I drink wine or beer occasionally (usually with a nice meal or at parties). I should mention that I am a dog person and have two wonderful dogs. I also enjoy photography, watching football, and cooking great meals I love to take walks, try new restaurants, play card games and even attempt to shoot pool. In my previous life I used to go scuba diving, practice Taekwondo and do quite a bit of globetrotting. With two kids I'm more into local haunts these days and taking fun vacations at the moment. I love impromptu exploring and new opportunities.
I've learned to take my time and not rush into a relationship. I remain an optimist about life and people. However, I am not naive. I understand that true relationships take time and actions that match words. Its one thing to be attracted to a person, but quite another to be compatible with values and goals. Communication is very important. If we can't carry on a conversation and get to know one another, be able to respect or resolve differences and laugh and enjoy each other along the way - there is little to base the relationship on. Honesty and integrity are essential. I look more at actions that are consistent with words and less at promises and portrayals.
I have mastered the art of balancing my home life with my professional life, and am now ready for romance and a long term committed relationship. I am looking for a single gentleman between forty-five and fifty-five who lives in the Sacramento-Auburn area and is financially secure. I am a Christian, physically fit and am looking for a gentleman, who would welcome a middle schooler and a high schooler into his family circle.
