Date men and women from California, United States. I am a no nonsense high school teacher who loves my job and my family. Both are very important to me. Many people have a hard time with that for some reason. I bought my home when I was 24 so standing on my own two feet isn't a problem. I would love to find someone who is grown up and looking to settle down. That means they are standing on their own feet, not under mom's roof or 'going back to school'. I want to have fun but am a busy person. I see myself as a mom of sorts, having 206 teenagers (not counting the other 1200 on campus). I love my job, I just want to be able to have some grown up time once in a while. I am looking for someone who can be there for me but someone I can be there for. Someone who will understand my crazy schedule but wants to share in it with me. They need to know how to play golf and need to be able to fish (bass primarily). They can't be affraid to go to the theater, the one with a stage and curtains, once in a while, and they have to appreciate good music. And a must, they MUST love dogs, I have 3 mini doxies. I love my boat time in the summer and my movie/book time in the winter.
I love to travel and try to do as much as I can on a budget. I take my Travel Club at the high school on a huge european trip every two years and are taking our first in-state trip this year. Holidays are with my family unless it becomes really serious and then we can talk. I am looking for a life long friend, not 'just friends'.
