I am a 4th generation native San Diegan

I am single and in my mid 40s

I have two wonderful cats that everyone will learn more about, Maggie and Misty.

I LOVE history, you will figure this out very quickly

I am a quilter. I also know how to use a sewing machine. I still need help with a glue gun ;)

I love driving trips. Sometimes I feel like a trip to the beach, sometimes a trip to Julian for apple pie, sometimes...?

I have two brothers married with families and 6 nieces and nephews all living on the East Coast

I do not eat spicy food, my British roots won't let me

I love to swim and occasionally hike

I used to raise chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and a goat for showing with 4-H

I destress with time alone and in nature

I'm running out of things at the moment
