Date women from United States / Alaska / Eagle River, 37 year old

Date a soulmate from Alaska, United States. I am relatively energetic, enthusiastic, and tend to see the humor in things. I have two little boys (3 and 6 years old) who are the light of my life, and energetic little jokers.
I do very serious stuff for a living, but I donРІР‚в„ўt tend to be very serious. When IРІР‚в„ўm done with work I want to do something entertaining or active. At home, I like doing thinks like home repair and renovation (see picture of me in the kitchen I renovated) or gardening (although I still havenРІР‚в„ўt figured out how to do it up here!). I think in many ways I am a hardy do-it-yourself Alaskan women; however, IРІР‚в„ўm not the scrub-faced Carhartt wearing type.
I have lived in quite a few places getting my education. My motto has been “have degrees will travel.” I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, spent a lot of summers in Miami as a kid, did my undergrad degree in Seattle, spent several years in Honolulu getting my graduate degrees, a year in Houston, and a few years in Buffalo, NY before I ended up here.
WhatРІР‚в„ўs my ideal match: someone who wants to do things or go somewhere, even if itРІР‚в„ўs just for a short hike, to check out someplace you havenРІР‚в„ўt been, or even better show off someplace interesting that youРІР‚в„ўve discovered. We live someplace that people travel thousands of miles to visit, with tons of unique places and things to do. IРІР‚в„ўd love to do some to do some more of these things and see some more these places. I like going for hikes or mountain biking. I have a pretty long list of things IРІР‚в„ўd like to learn or do more of. These things include things like kayaking or river rafting and scuba diving diving (learned in Seattle but havenРІР‚в„ўt since I left Hawaii). DonРІР‚в„ўt get me wrong though, I also like to watch TV or sit by a fire and have a beer!.

Meet someone special from Alaska, United States. I came to Alaska 8 years ago for an adventure, thinking I would stay a year or two and I never left. I love the people, the natural beauty, and the wide open spaces. I have decided to make my life here and am loking for someone to share it with.
I enjoy being active outside, hiking and camping but am equally happy relaxing at home with a good book or a movie. I like to explore new places and learn new things. In my free time I may be playing with my dogs, checking out some live music, having a nice meal out or working on some project at my house (you are more likely to find me hanging drywall than making cookies). I would like to find someone who also enjoys these activities but also has their own intestests I can learn to appreciate. I am not really a big dress up, out on the town kind of girl but I do like to occasional trip to the Performing Arts Center.
The qualities important to me include, kindness, curiosity, patience, sense of humor and ambition (not in corporate ladder kind of way). My family is geographically far away but we are very close and I have a wonderful extended family here in AK. I enjoy spending time with. I would like someone who is generally easy going but who can be focused when it is called for.
