Date a soulmate from Mather, United States. I just moved back to California after 8 years away for the Army and School in Colorado, and all the wrong reasons in Tennessee. I work in Mather (old AFB), but live with my family temporarily in Stockton. I will be moving closer to work as I settle in. I have a great job and am so happy to be back with my family. I am starting to miss that other part of my life that isn't existing right now.
I tend to be a little quiet, at first. I am very honest and up front. I am the kind of person who wants to get married, have kids and live a happy, quintessential, American family life, someday... but not overly eager. At this point in my life, I am taking everything as it comes.
I have a passion for everything that I become a part of, and have picked up much of a Southern mindset about alot of things. I love everything outdoors. I especially enjoy going for drives to nowhere and finding a little place to eat or an antique shop or a new recreation spot in the process. I enjoy watching sports, but haven't played in a long time. My favorite things are very tomboyish, traditionally guy favorites and hobbies, but I am still a little bit of a girl about them. I love cars and racing (not nascar really, but dirt track/sprints/ small time kinda stuff) but I don't know much about cars. I love old cars, they are big, loud, and have a distinct smell about them. Although I unfortunately have a car right now, I am a truck/4X4 person, the only car I would chose to drive would be a classic car. I like shooting and go out with my brother on occasion. I like camping and fishing and will get dirty like anyone else, and cook some of the best camp food you have ever had. I want to take every opportunity to get out and find adventure, but bad at coming up with ideas. I am (because I always have been) self sufficient. Waiting for a man to do something is annoying! I will do "man's work" to a certain extent, but feel I shouldn't have to with a man around. Likewise, I don't mind doing laundry and cooking, and whatever else needs to be done (except dishes, I hate dishes- even dish washers!). Not in a "draw a line in the sand" kinda way, I believe in partnerships as a compliment to one another. I'm the kind of girl who would get up, even if you wake up at 3AM, make your lunch and have it ready with your coffee before you are out of the shower. I don't do it for the praise, but like to be appreciated. I am a firm believer in "Actions speak louder than words". I wear jeans most of the time. I get manicures and pedicures and show off my pretty toes with flip flops on the weekends... but always keep Justins in the trunk because I never know where I'll end up (likely somewhere where boots are a necessity). I don't need to plan, but I always prepare. I hardly ever know where I'm going, but If you're on a road trip with me, rest assured you won't go hungry, get eaten by mosquitos, run out of toilet paper, and if you get a life threatening injury I can probably stabilize you with what I keep in my car. I generally go with the flow, and the right company usually makes the day interesting.
I typically like my fella big, respectful, sweet, country, and adventurous. Surprise me! I need a tour guide. This place has changed alot in 8 years, and I never knew much about Sacramento in the first place.
