I am an american living in a small city with a really small town feel, Ijsselstein, the Netherlands, a few years ago we celabrated our 750year birthday! :-) I have been divorced for 6 yeas and have 2 daughters which keep me busy with their activities vaulting, horseback riding and theater. I enjoy going to the gym and fitness. I have a lot of hobbies, painting, drawing, scrapbooking, adult coloring, and writing, also a really love to read. I read just about anything.Furthermore I keep busy by volenteering and school and a lot of my time is taken up by volenteering and training/ raising assistance dogs for the first year of their life. This is rewarding to know that i help in giving someone more independance in their life. It is sad to see the dogs leave but i keep in my heart that i am doing it for someone and giving joy and recieving love from a dog.
My favorite color is purple,and you can wake me up for a pepperoni pizza anytime. I enjoy being around people but also love being alone.
Since i was 19 years old i have been struggling with 3 forms of reumathoid arthritis and this has caused me to be wheelchair bound sometimes especially when i need to walk a long ways or stand, I do not let that stop me from enjoying life to the fullest.
Because of my dads work I have lived in different countries and I love gettin to know about other cultures and languages.
hope to hear from you soon.

I love animals horses and dogs are my favorite domestic animals, wildanimals... elephants, killer whales, black panthers and tigers are amoung some that i think are just great.
I value anything that someone has put their time and energy in. Would love a few words in the native language with a translation. Being i have studied a few languages and think it is interesting and educational. thanks and can't wait for the first cards to come
