Mark and Kathy met on August 26th 2001. We were brought together due to friends and Kathys daughter Crystal (who knew her Moms cell number) and willing to give it to Mark when he asked her for it. She must have seen something really good in him. Kathy was very stand offish but finally gave in to meet. Since then we have been inseparable. We have spent alot of quality time with each other and all 4 kids. We love to go camping, quading, snowmobiling, exploring and spending time at Marks familys cabin. There isn't anything that we don't enjoy especially when we do it together. We cant amagine life without each other and we both know the GOD has put us together FOREVER!!! 

We had always talked about taking the family on vacation for Christmas instead of giving presents. Last year in June we decided to do just that and go to Mexico (Playa-car). Mark had other plans in addition to that. He started asking Kathy's family for her hand in marriage. Between him and Crystal he was able to pull it off without Kathy ever knowing. So during a trip parasailing about 80' in the air he proposed and Kathy said YES. It was so special to have all the kids there on our special day. We will treasure that day and hold that moment in our hearts for rest of our lives.  

We have decided to get married on August 25, 2012 at Mark's family's cabin. Kathy's girls will stand with her and Mark's boys will stand with him as we join our 2 families. Kathy's Mom (Velda) will walk her down the isle. We have invited a few relatives and close friends. It will be held outside where we love to be. We will all go camping a few days after the wedding and will spend our real Honeymoon in the Bahamas at Breezes in November.
