Date women from United States / Alabama / Weaver, 54 year old

Date a woman from United States. I am honest and loves life. I do not like shopping much. I have moved here to get a fresh start and it's working.
I was born in 1957 in Decatur, Illinois. I was the 4th child out of 5. As a child I was always being creative and could not be without a drawing tablet and writing tools. My mother entered me into a drawing contest when I was young, in which they accepted me into their art program. All through school I always enjoyed art class.
I have two children, Matthew and Jill. They are all grown up and Matthew lives in Ft. Worth, Texas and has one son, Seth that is two and a hand full. Jill lives in Denver, Colorado and also has a son, Luca, which is six months old. Jill graduated from Texas Tech, went to Florida School of Law, and now is a lawyer in Denver. I am very proud of both of my children.
I am a widow since August 11, 2010 after my husband took his own life, less than ten feet away from me. I went through a period of self-destruction and with the help of my friends and family I finally recovered, or at least got a good start. I moved from Texas to Alabama to get away from the destruction.
Even at the age I am now, I decided to come back to school and pursue my teaching degree. I have decided to become an elementary teacher so that I may use my life experience to help guide the young children in their future goals.
After acquiring my degree at JSU, I plan on moving to Hawaii to obtain a master's degree at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. I hope to continue using my knowledge to encourage young students to obtain their goals and guide them through life.

Meet someone special from United States. I try to be a very positive person. Very family oriented. I love to be surrounded by family and friends. I am very honest and outgoing. Looking for an honest and caring person. Not into head games. I love the outdoors, love to do crafts, and garden. I love art, mountains, beaches, and playing on the computer. Do you like any of those things? Do you miss having someone to share your life with? We can talk about books or fishing, I am easy to get along with.
