People I love- Mark (Marky Mark)

Oh Mark. Where do I start? :) Well he is my best friend.
We met when I was 15 and I was dating one of his best friends. Every weekend we hung out together and just became very close. Over the years, the group seemed to grow apart but Mark and I just stayed friends. We could go months without seeing each other and when we finally do, we are laughing and talking about old times like they were yesterday. He has been there for me through good times and bad. When he decided to go into the Marines, I was scared for my friend but also so proud of him that he made that decision. We kept in touch when he was in the Marines and I looked forward (and relived!) to getting letters and emails from him. I enjoy our long phone conversations that always get side track. Or making fun of his oversized head, it never gets old, I am sure it does to him though. Hee Hee. We have grown up so much over the years, he is a true friend to me when alot of other people were not.
I will never forget the time a friend and I were playing dominos and we beat him and to this day he says we cheated and we did NOT. But it always makes me laugh. And it gets him mad so I like to bring it up every once in a while ;) Or the time when I was having my bacherlorette party in Austin but of course Mark could not join us, it was all girls (and I am pretty sure he did not want to dress up in 80's attire...) So I went up to Austin on a Friday and him and his girlfriend had planned a "Night Before the Bacherlorette Party Night". It was on a rooftop bar, we had a section reserved for us, and champagne. Needless to say, we had a great night! The trips to Houston, backroads, Chico and JoAnna's, So many other great memories, too many to list. I can't wait for his little bundle of boy to be here soon and watch our boys grow up together! Love you Mark!
