Date women from United States / Arkansas / East End, 45 year old

Date someone special from East End, United States. I am excited (though a little nervous) about this new chapter in my life. My friends would describe me as a thoughtful, dependable, sweet and happy person. Also honest, respectful and loyal. I am a very good listener.
My family is very important to me. I have two awesome kids. Well kids to me LOL 18 and 20 : ) I have recently started working out and really enjoy it never had alot of time before.
I love sports, football is my favorite especially being at the game but also like baseball, basketball or softball. Love movies of any kind really except blood and gore. I love getting together with family and friends over a great meal either one we prepared or a great restaurant.
I found a true love for the ocean and beaches when I went to Florida and to San Diego. There is nothing I have came across yet that matches the peace of walking on the beach early in the morning. The sound of the ocean is so relaxing. If I ever won the lottery I think I would love to live on a beach somewhere at least part-time :)
As far as what I am looking for in a partner. It is just that, a real partner....someone who is there by my side no matter what. Someone to laugh with, spend quiet time with, travel with, the true love of my life.
