I was reading my niece and her husband’s blog a little bit ago, and it made me so proud of them that I needed to write about it. They live in Alaska and have 2 beautiful children, Joachim and Macrina. Kari was always one her mom and I worried about as she grew up. She was somewhat of a wild little girl, never really caring about what the next activity was just as long as she could keep moving. Curly blond hair that was out of control sometimes, at least if she had her way. Her mom had other ideas and tried to put pretty things in it. Kari was not going to have any of the girlie girl stuff though. That's what made Kari special then though and even more special now. My girls always loved going to Kari's house to see what Kari was doing now.
Kari is now a wife and mommy and loving it. She has her own little girl she is chasing around and trying to keep up with. Macrina is not a blond though; she has beautiful dark hair that is just as wild as Kari's ever was. Ben and Kari are living off the land somewhat, Alaska fish and salmon, wild game killed by Ben, making her own flour with other moms near by, chickens in a coop, goats and hopefully milk from them someday (they may be milking them now)and dogs. Kari has always had a passion for dogs, sled dogs for awhile and mushing for a short time. Kari and Ben live a modest life with God as the center of their life. Who else, but our Lord would have brought Kari this far. With her Grandma Tansey's prayers, which she bestowed on all of her grandchildren from the moment they were born, to her mom's love and patience, Kari has turned into a beautiful women. God showed Chris that even though she didn't exactly get the sweet girlie girl she wanted she got something better, she got Kari. I love you Kari
