Welcome

Mark & Karen

Established on the web in 1999

Loving you comes so easy!!!

 

This picture was taken at the first Bed and Breakfast we had ever stayed in located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas and is TRULY where our story of Love and Romance began! If you ever get a chance, go there, it's an awesome place for romance!!!!!

I have a small dedication for this page and it is for the Hero in my life ~~~Mark.  I hope that all who find us here on the web can learn a little more about us, our family and all of the wonderful things that fill our lives.  I truly want the world to know that he is a "one of a kind" man!

Would you like to know a little more about us? Hmmmm, where to begin..hehe

Mark and I started out as the very best of friends over 20  years ago. Since that time, we have both been married and had children. I have 3 children of my own, a son Aaron and two daughters Whitney and Katelyn.   Mark also has two daughters of his own the oldest, Tonya and Ashley. Tonya has also blessed us with a granddaughter Rayven who is now almost seven years old.  After both of us having been through a divorce and because we have always been such close friends, we began sharing many late night conversations, tons of winks, smiles and laughter and quiet lunches and even a few "dates".  We both graduated from the same school, and had watched each others children grow over the years.  We spent many hours talking about what we wanted the future to hold for us each independently and together and decided that we were great friends and that because of the way we knew each other so well and the way we felt when were together (which I don't mind telling you was "heavenly") that we both wanted to see if we could take our relationship a step or two further. Mark had professed many times to love me and deep down inside, I had known this for many years, yet I wasn't sure I was ready to risk a friendship if things didn't work out.  Mark is after all my very best friend and truly a soul mate.  He has since I can remember, "come to my rescue", protected me, smiled gently and wiped my many tears over the years.  HOWEVER, I took those baby steps forward and let him lead me by the heart and capture it forever. Since that time, we have worked very hard to make our dreams come true.  We were happily married on March 25th, 2000!  Be sure and check out our wedding photos using the link below!

We both enjoy spending time with each other.....laughing, talking and cuddling of course. Mark is definitely a good cuddler!!  We watch quite a few movies together, love to slip in an evening watching the races at our local speedway and of course, setting down together to watch none other than...WCW Wrestling (haha, kids got him hooked). We also both like to slip away for a weekend and enjoy the peace and quiet and Mark has even introduced me to the world of "Slot Machines".  Actually, it's quite comical to get both of us out in a setting like that, because typically, we are pretty tight with out money. We also find ourselves just setting and actually doing a little "people watching".  Have you ever done that?  It's hilarious to watch all the different kinds of people.   Romance plays a very important part in our relationship...and I must admit, that Mark is a very romantic person at heart...and extremely loveable.

Together we have 5 children, 3 of whom are still in school.  My son Aaron is currently a sophmore in college at Oklahoma State University (GO POKES).   As it turns out, our alma matter Eisenhower Sr. High School is the school that all 3 of my children will graduate from  It's really weird to go back through the halls and wear the Eagle Blue again after 25 years.  We try hard to remain active in all of the kids activities, and it seems as though we are on the go quite a bit.

Now you know a little bit more about us.....but to learn even more, please check out our other webpages.
