Hello! I am a super positive gal who has been battling Lyme Disease since 2003. As it took 8 years for diagnosis, the disease had a head start before treatment could get started. My treatments are difficult but im the type of person who always looks on the bright side :)
I am passionate about animals and animal welfare. I have a happy pup and three sweet cats, all rescues and I truly believe I would not be where I am without their loving company in my life ♡♥. I love taking the pup out for walks or to the park. I am also interested in reading, history, science, and I love being with family and friends. I love being outdoors, going on road trips, and seeing/ trying new things.
I welcome making new friends and am always willing to spread the word about Lyme. . . knowledge is power.
I truly believe life is a gift. In a way, I feel grateful for my illness as it has taught me so many things about myself, other people, and has made me not take things for granted.

I am looking for a man who is comforable with himself, has a sense of humour (even when times get tough), and doesn't take life (or himself too seriously). Someone who understands that what you put into a relationship is what you get out of it (friendship or romantic).
Im looking to meet someone who may be interested in one day starting a relationship, but im not interested in rushing things. :)
