I'm an outgoing woman, who likes to put a smile on everyone's face. I think I am a good blend of the pragmatic and the creative... and if you ask nicely, I can help you decorate your place. :p I'm a total gear head, and love cars and Formula 1 Racing. I also have a passion for Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, but love watching a lot of other sports. I work out at least 3 times a week, and wouldn't mind having another gym buddy! I've played the drums and piano for a long time now - so I love spending time around other musicians, or even those who just enjoy music. I also have a weird obsession with firetrucks, and plan to have my picture taken with one from every major city in the US. I'm always up for a road trip. In my opinion, there is nothing better than travel and seeing the world! While in college, I spent a bit of time studying architecture in Denmark, and throughout Europe. I had an unbelievable time! My friends would describe me as a "giver". I was raised to put others before myself, and I do so consistently. I am ridiculously passionate about the things I love, and those I care for. You will always know where you stand with me, as I wear my heart on my sleeve. As far as my views on children, I am not sure if I want to be a mom or not quite yet. My feelings could change in the future, as I think this decision will be based a lot on the person who I am with, and his desire/commitment to being an equal parent. (There are a lot of reasons for why I feel this way, and I am happy to explain if you'd like to know.) I am fine with dating someone with children, as long as you can make the time to devote to a relationship. I would love to be a role model to a child, and I think being a stepmom is a great way to do this.
