Marion County roots and honest intentions

Fourth generation in Marion County and I'm not going anywhere. I'm thirty-nine, a veterinarian, and I've spent most of my thirties building my practice and not enough time building a personal life. That's a choice I'm trying to correct. I'm not desperate — I have a full, good life — but I'd like someone to share it with. I want a man who's comfortable with a woman who's ambitious and occasionally works weird hours. Someone who likes animals obviously, who's steady and grounded, and who communicates instead of shutting down. I've been single for two years and I've learned a lot about what I actually need versus what I used to think I wanted. Let's have an honest conversation.
