Today we are linking this post to another blogger, Kelly's Korner: Show Us Your Singles! http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/2011/01/show-us-your-life-show-us-your-singles.html When I saw this opportunity, immediately my mind went to Mark, one of our favorite friends. Girls, this is your lucky day. This tall, dark, and handsome bachelor is a keeper. Just look at him!
So let's back up a decade or so. You see, I REALLY owe Mark because HE was the guy that brought Curt to dinner on the night he and I met. So now I would love to be able to proudly boast that I was somewhat instrumental in helping him meet his girl!

So let's meet this guy Mark! This handsome bachelor has never been married, of course has no children, and will make THE best husband to some extremely lucky girl. (My sister-in-law is married but jokingly tells us all that Mark is her back-up plan if her husband ever passes.)
His wit is his most charming characteristic, but I'm sure you already picked up on that from this hysterical crocodile picture. This is a really active guy that lives in Jackson, MS and loves to travel all over the world. Mark is just a really adventurous type of guy that somehow always becomes the life of the party. Makes you want to pack grab your carry-on and join the fun, doesn't it?
Mark is a proud graduate and supporter of Mississippi State University, and has been a long-time season ticket holder for both the football and basketball teams. However, he has been known to yell and throw couch pillows at the television during the rough seasons.
This all sounds like a blast of a life, but Mark would absolutely, hands-down, choose being a devoted husband and father over anything else. Mark has a very stable career as an engineer for the State of Mississippi, and is a very hard-working guy. He has also been an active member of First Baptist Church for many years and enjoys teaching his young adult Sunday School class.
Another great thing about our friend Mark is that he has a very strong family unit. Ladies, we all know this is a very important predictor in marriage, and this guy HAS it. His parents are retired Baptist pastors that are the ideal in-laws. They are alot of fun too, and are guest chaplains on cruises all over the world. How's that for a fun retirement gig? Also, Mark's brother and family are missionaries in Southeast Asia. They're just a really great bunch to be around. (Side note to you girls that are into birth order: Mark is the oldest brother, so he's a strong leader, but also very nurturing and caring. Come on, you know it's very important to know how you would relate to your potential spouse.) Mark has been in long-term relationships before, but obviously has just not been introduced to the one he is meant to marry yet.
So ladies, if you would like to learn a little more about Mark, just either leave a comment on this post, link me to your Facebook/my space/blog, etc... or email me at marytbuchanan@gmail.com.
