I moved to Henderson Nevada to be closer to my son and family. I pretty much lived my entire life in NW Indiana (near Chicago IL) and have left behind very close friendships and of course family. It was a huge decision, but I was in need of a change. I became widowed at the age of 37 (aprx 10 yrs ago) and have not really got back in to dating. It was a tragic car accident leaving me devastated, at probably the happiest times in my life. I poured myself into providing for my family, and raising my 3 boys and 1 girl. Well they are all almost all grown and out of the house. When my son told me they were expecting, I know what an important place my grandma was in my early childhood, and I had a long term goal of escaping the midwest and the weather. I am a very energetic person who, even with some real tragedies in my past, still keeps a positive spirit and believes in living for today. I am self reliant, and always have been. I love the outdoor and exploring. Love to travel, and have a huge passion for scuba and the ocean. My favorite sport is Hockey (Go Blackhawks!) I grew up in a small town with small town values, and now live next to "Sin City" ha ha. I love the action Las Vegas has to bring, and will visit a casino on occasion, but not really that "in" to gambling (hate losing more than I enjoy winning). Looking to find a person for a friendship, without pressure...but am hopeful that one day I will again have a partner. I am not looking for a person to meet the "bar" from my relationship I had with my late husband, that would not be fair...however, I am obviously in no rush, and will never settle for less than I deserve, I am a "giver" with a loving heart, sometimes too trusting- but with ages come wisdom. I keep myself in pretty good shape, I am not one to compliment myself, but I have been told I am attractive (buy my parents--kidding) and my kids are pretty darn good looking, so I guess I am ok...I am not shallow, or judge on a books cover alone, however attraction is an important part of any relationship. Sometimes people can become "more attractive" as you get to know them, and others can become "less".
