I was divorced in 2003 after 3 years of seperation...had to be sure. I moved to Vermont shortly thereafter because of work; I needed to get away. It was then that I quit smoking and drinking and became a regular church-goer. Unfortnately with all the new I became an overeater. Several years ago I lost 45 lbs and felt really good, but I slowly slipped into the old ways. It could be lonliness...hard to find someone I guess. But after  some soul searching and some praying, my bro-in-law hooked me up here. After I lost 3 lbs the first week I was hooked . Ther good feelings about myself returned. I am on my way!

I love kayaking!! I can't wait til the end of March to get going again.I enjoy hiking and just started sno-shoeing. With the long winters I had to find a winter hobby. I also enjoy drawing, just haven't found the time. I have drawings hanging in a lot of homes!

I have 2 sons and a daughter. My oldest, Ben lives in Seattle, he's getting married in August. He will be 31 and is teaching Art at Western Washington College. Seth is 29 and he is a kichen manager for a restaurant in Richmond, Va., while waiting for his own art career to take off. My daughter, Rachael is 27( a great age) has been married for 3 years and ill .graduate from VCU in the fall with a masters in education. Well , they all got an education

I am in production engineering in a global manufacturer here in Vermont. And right now I welcome everyday. Gotta stay positive.
