About Me
I am a 43 year old divorcee from Maine. Unfortunately I didn't marry my best friend and soul mate, I got her from a reputable breeder. She was a beautiful Golden Retriever named Scout, with big brown, soulful eyes. I have also had two lovely cats, Merlin and Scarlett.
I am a part-time nursing student and work as a medical secretary at a non-profit Home Health Care and Hospice Agency. I love my job, believe in our mission and feel I am making an important contribution to my community.
I am a former Catholic who converted to the Lutheran faith when I married my husband. I was non-practicing at the time. He was a Mid-Western "cradle" Lutheran. His faith touched my life and I will always be grateful that through him I found my way back to God. He was obviously put in my life for a reason. My ex and I used to be active in our church, pray together and say grace at meals. I miss those things. I enjoy the singe life and dating, but I am designed for marriage. I took my vows seriously and was not the one who broke them. I am searching for "The One." I hope that he can share my faith, but I am open to all faiths. I am a moderate mainline Protestant, not conservative.
As for my tagline, I believe that our animal companions have souls. God has undeniably given them the capacity for unconditional love and devotion, so why not? My idea of Heaven is a "Peaceable Kingdom."
Blessings, Michelle
