Disenchanted by the hussle & bustle of the big city, Mark and I (Bekki) made a move that I would never in my wildest dreams imagined.

I was born and raised for 31 years in Houston, Tx. but had always dreamed of the mountains and marrying up with a mountain man.   Well, that dream came true.

Mark and I met on the WWW, through the YAHOO Personals.  I was in Texas and he from the Yukon.  Within 6 months of our meeting we were married on a private ranch at sunrise on the front porch of a little log cabin.

I had met the mountain man, now all we needed was the mountains....

To sort of "wean" me off of Texas, away from my whole family and my past we made a move to Tennessee.  We were only there a short time when the call came for a job, 1 out of 30 resume's we had sent out all over the west coast and that one response was from Alaska.

Mark flew to Alaska 2 months before me to start work and find a place to live.  He arrived the morning of 9/11, just before the planes hit the first tower. 

I remained to put things in order, drove back to Texas with what I could fit in the car.  We already had a storage unit in Texas from our move to TN so I added to it, Pickles and I boarded the plane for Anchorage with only a carry on and 2 bags of checked luggage.

Now here we are 3 1/2 years later in Fairbanks, Alaska.  All items left in storage are still in TX. We have totally started over and started building our life together from scratch. 

So, that's the story of me and Mark in a nutshell without all the bells and whistles.

Hope everyone enjoys the site and we will update it as time allows.........
