HOW WE FIRST MET: We met on an Internet chat site with Randy in Atlanta and Karen in Chicago. After corresponding for a few weeks and phone chat, Randy drove from Atlanta to Chicago the day before Thanksgiving 2001 to meet in person for the first time. We took turns visiting one another a few more times and after being in Chicago for her whole life (almost 40 years at that time), Karen dropped the bomb on her family that she was leaving Chicago for Atlanta mid 2002. They all thought she was crazy to pick up her life and move for a guy she'd known less than a year but she had gotten a taste of "All of This." She has been having "All of This" and his "All of That" ever since.We married in September 2004 then later moved across the country to be close to Randy's Daughter in the Bay area. It was quite a move across the Country with Karen, Randy, Karen's Adult Daughter, a Border Collie, Blue Front Amazon Parrot, and a Rose Breasted Cockatoo. We have since added another dog to the zoo and reside in wonderful Castro Valley. The last 10 years have had ups, downs, great employment, unemployment, arguments, make ups, and all the other wonderful trials, tribulations, and joys of life. This is the second marriage for Karen and she gets to be the proud "W4" for Randy.
