24 years ago today we said “I Do”

This is us 24 years ago today!! I realize we look like we are about 16 years old in these pictures but actually I was 24 and he was 22. Yeah I robbed the craddle!Our life together has been more than I could have ever hoped for. We have experienced many things in our life together. We are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters.

We enjoy being in the outdoors and spending time with our family.
We enjoy our everyday life together as husband and wife.

Mike is my best friend!

My lover


My eternal companion.


He brings me so much joy and adventure.
Romance and fun
We love, laugh and make the most of each day together.
We have traveled the world and hope to see much more of it….
But the place we love to be the most is in our own backyard watching the sunset and dreaming about tomorrow.

Love ya….. Hun

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Karin, happy anniversary! You have a beautiful family, and are truly a remarkable person and friend. I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your whole family. Enjoy! Kari

  • I'm not sure why but this brought tears to your old mom. It is so absolutely wonderful to have watched the two of you growing more in love each year. You are certainly an inspiration and such a great example for your daughters, and all who know you.
    Congratulations to two of my precious kids. I love you to pieces and can't wait till Sat.
    Love, love, love,
    MOM

  • Oh, my gosh, Karen-- you guys are SOOOOOO cute!!! Congrats to 2 of the greatest people I know! I LOVE that last pic, by the way! So adorable!
