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.
