I am here for Friends

About Me

I live with my husband John and our cats (I love my babies!) I work at a title company. I love music, reading and writing. One of these days I'd like to be published, but we'll see how that goes. I am a Christian (specifically Catholic), a conservative, a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan and John and I hope to start a family one of these days.I'm always interested in meeting new people who value my respect and respect my values. Part of why we are here is to help each other live holy lives, now and into eternity.On the other hand, if you steep yourself in sin with no apology, I do not want you in my life to bring me down. My eyes are lifted up, and I intend to keep them there.

..

My Interests

God, music, reading, school, football, golf... I love learning and understanding why things are the way they are, especially how we (people) work, emotionally, psychologically. If I weren't doing what I do now I would be a psychologist, and maybe even teach it one day. I also love to just do absolutely nothing!I would love, love, love to be able to travel to Europe and explore the countryside, the castles... England, Ireland, Italy (especially Rome). I want to see everything! I don't have much time (or the money) to indulge in it, but it would be a dream come true if I could. I love vintage styles: pinup classic style makeup and clothing, 40's '50's styles... books set in the 17th-19th century, especially in Europe (Jane Eyre, Sense and Sensibility, etc.). I'm a romantic at heart and love those stories.
