Dream date/ideal first date:
My recipe for a perfect date:
Step 1. Hiking somewhere in the woods in the springtime with a beautiful view once we reach the top of some mountain.
Step 2. Follow up the hike by jamming out together – I’ll sing, you’ll play the guitar/ukulele.
Step 3. Finish up strong by cooking a delicious Italian or Asian meal together back at home. The key to my heart is through my stomach.
Cutest thing someone could do for you: I’m really into photography so if they bought me a new lens or made a present that was related to photography I’d be super impressed.
Relationship Status: About to celebrate my third anniversary – sorry ladies and gents!
Any Thanksgiving traditions? For Thanksgiving, our family does a potluck so each person cooks their favorite dish and then once we feel full, we eat for another.
