Mark's family had a reunion at a park there in Mississippi yesterday and he wanted Amanda to go with him. She was excited about it but extremely nervous too. I was making faces at her yesterday morning to try to help calm her down LOL!! She was able to take some pictures of his family, the ones he is the closest too. I have uploaded a picture of he and his aunt with this discussion. Mark told me when they got back yesterday that "Amanda really fit in good with my kin folks." LOL!!He came to church with Amanda last night so she was really excited!! She got to introduce him to several people. He told me when they got back home after going to eat that he really enjoyed being there. We have an interim pastor filling in for us until we find a new one and as it turns out he is from Tremont, Mississippi, very close to Fulton where Mark lives. It was very amazing to find out too that he knew Mark's dad very well, had gone to high school and college with him as a matter of fact!! He also knew his mother but not as well as his father. He talked about what a fine man his dad was. I told him we could tell that they had raised Mark right because he is such a gentleman and so respectful. Thanks for listening and hope you all have a wonderful day!!

That is wonderful that your daughter has found herself someone that has such a solid background and from this discussion seems to be very caring toward her! We are always so happy for our kids when something good happens to them. Sounds like it's getting serious! Are you ready for a wedding? LOL

Most recent picture of Amanda and Mark at our hous - This was taken a few weeks ago.
Good Morning!! I believe it is getting serious also although they have only been dating for five months. Mark has made his intentions known to me that he wants to marry Amanda but he is trying to wait a while to give both of them time and to let her finish college. But he truly loves her I have no doubt and I know she feels the same way about him. I'll have to be honest, it chokes me up to think about them getting married because, and you being a mother will understand, you want them to grow up, be independent and be happy but at the same time you wish they could stay little too. LOL!! She will always be my baby no matter how old she is. But Mark is wonderful to Amanda and I know he will make her a good husband and she will be wonderful for him also. I want more than anything for her to be happy!! I guess when the time comes I'll have to be ready for the wedding won't I? Ha! Ha! Thanks so much for responding!!
