Mark and I met at Archon (a science fiction/fantasy convention in St. Louis on July 25, 1985. I went to a party
with an old boyfriend and ended up talking to Mark the whole weekend. He proposed 2 weeks later and we were
married 7 1/2 months later. That was all in 1986-1987. We have been together for 19 years and our
19th wedding anniversary will be in March 2006. Married life has taken us to Arkansas, Germany and back to Missouri.
The first few years were hosted by the US Air Force, with both of us being in at one point.... we returned to Missouri in 1992
when our daughter Madie was just a year old. Now our daughter is 12 (nearly 13) and our son is 9.

We really treasure our children and the time that we spend with them. Madie is in 7th grade at Middle School and Alan the 3rd grade.
Children are wonderful and watching them grow is truly bittersweet... it's like watching a flower open and knowing that you will never
have those moments but once.
