I am here for Friends

About Me



My name is Kari, I am married to David, my best friend and the love of my life and I have 2 beautiful children, Daniel (20 yrs old) and Stephen (4 yrs old) and we're proud to announce that we're expecting another baby boy due on 3/15/09. I'm a stay-at-home mom and my husband is currently an active-duty Corpsman in the U.S. Coast Guard. We moved to Oostburg, Wisconsin in June 2005 after living on Kodiak Island in Alaska for a few years. We miss the beautiful scenery and plan to return to Alaska permanently one day, but for now I'm happy to be back in the lower 48 for a while.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Stay-at-home moms in Sheboygan County for playdates with my 4 year old, anyone suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease) and Coastie wives

Some websites you should check out:

I suffer from RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) which is an auto-immune disease (NOT to be confused with osteo arthritis that affects the elderly)...these two websites offer a lot of really good information about the disease...

Christine Miserandino suffers from Lupus and wrote an interesting story about what it's like to live with an "invisible disease" such as Lupus, RA, MS, Cystic Fibrosis, Fibromyalgia, etc...please click here to read her story called "The Spoon Theory" to get a better understanding of what it's like to live with these (and other) diseases...

I was recently diagnosed with Secondary Fibromyalgia as a result of my RA...Here are some great websites regarding Fibromyalgia...

As a result of my RA, I also suffer from Sjogren's Syndrome...This website offers some great information about Sjogren's...

I signed up for this about a year ago...I've gotten back about $100 so far...

Some of my closest friends are gay...please support the gay community by checking out this website...

Who needs Top 40? I love all of my friends equally!
