I was not raised Catholic/Roman Catholic [apparently some of not-very-distant ancestors were though], but converted initially in 2006/2007, and was ultimately confirmed in the Church. From 2008 through most of 2012 I had fallen away from it and gone elsewhere [Anglicanism, specifically], regrettably, but with what I feel was a "nudging" from God compelled me to and drew me back earlier in December, and I learned new things from the early Church Fathers, from Scripture, and also why John Henry Newman [a former Anglican himself] ultimately converted, as well as rediscovering some things I had already known, and it convinced me that I had been in the wrong, and that I also LONGED to come back. And so I did, and am glad I did.
I was born and raised in, and have lived in northwestern Kentucky most of my life, with the exception of about 5 years I lived in Greater Cincinnati for most of college. I currently live in Owensboro again, and am trying to find employment, though I am considering moving [at least to another place in the Commonwealth] to find it if needed. I have work experience already, am not going to stop looking, and desire to make something more of myself.
I'm an honest person, sometimes in a blunt manner. I try to be respectful, but I certainly stand up for myself, refusing to let people walk all over me. That being said, I am of course willing to compromise or make positive, necessary changes if needed within reason for ones I love. I am of mostly English, German and Scottish ethnicity and ancestry, though I have smaller amounts of Welsh and French. Politically, I would say I am somewhat left-of-center, or in other words: moderate-to-liberal, though I consider myself pro-life and believe in fiscal responsibility. My favourite genres of music are 90s pop/rock, 2000s singer-songwriters [like Michelle Branch and Colbie Caillat], some Christian Contemporary, some country, and symphonic metal [not the demented, "screaming" type, lol].
I long to find a woman who is right for me, to cherish her, and to join me both in belief and worship of God and His Church, and enjoy this journey that is life. I wouldn't mind that journey including Western Europe either. I believe it would be exhilarating to experience the sites, the history, the countryside, and the ambiance of the cities in western Germany, the West of England, London, Wales [including Cardiff and maybe Caernarfon], maybe France, and possibly Italy.
I hope for a woman who will love me and appreciate me for who I am. A woman who will not be unnecessarily critical of me and will ultimately support my decisions on things out of love and respect for me, as I would want to do for her. One who doesn't expect all men to be skinny to be attractive. Nor do I expect my lady to be less than 190 pounds or smaller than a size 20; to expect such is ridiculous.
