I am a quiet person, but once I know someone I am a lot more engaging. I consider myself to be an intellectual with a funny sense of humor. My favorite thing to do is snow-ski in Crested Butte, Colorado. I use what's called a sit ski. I enjoy painting, reading some, ceramics, swimming, and love cooking, & watching cooking shows. A quiet evening on the couch is perfectly fine with me as well. I use a manual & electric wheelchair to get around. I love being around positive, happy, people. I also value being a Christian first & foremost. Family is very important to me & mine is very close. The craziest thing I've ever done is a tie between playing wheelchair rugby with a team of guys being the only female & snow-skiing down a steep moguls run ending upside down between 2 deep moguls unseen. What a blast!

The qualities I look for in a friend and or that someone special are honesty, integrity, fun loving, easy-going personality, and compassionate. It would be great if they liked some of the things that I like which I have listed above. I am open to learning new things and being adventurous with a friend or that someone special. I really like people who enjoy getting out and being active meeting new people but also I like Quiet times when times call for that. Turnoffs for me are rudeness, impatient people, bad personal hygiene, & smoking.
