The Blogger – Carol Marks

Hello, my name is Carol Marks – the blogger behind carolremarks.com

I moved to Alabama in 1991 at the young age of 25 and, after having lived in Georgia for one year. Before Georgia, I served 5-active and honorable years in the United States Navy, stationed in Washington, DC.

The Blogger- Carol Marks

Soon after moving to Alabama, I settled down with an Alabama boy, and we lived the American dream. We started a business, bought a house, and started a “million dollar” family where we produced a girl in 1995 and then a boy in 1996.

In 2005, my husband and the father of my children passed away.

Fortunately, I had many friends and made a life for myself in Alabama, so I decided to stay here instead of high-tailing it back to Ohio, where all my other relatives live.

I remarried in 2008. I like to refer to my husband as The Gent, and yes, there is a story behind it. When we married, the kids were 11 and 13 years old. The Gent stepped up to the plate big time.

Now, fast forward to the current time. The Gent and I have been empty-nesters for a few years.

We recently married off the daughter at an outdoor wedding in Alabama on a chilly but beautiful March day in 2020. Our son married in 2021 at an exquisite Vegas wedding in the Valley of Fire National Park. And now we are expecting our first grand-baby in May 2022! All are gainfully employed and live here in Huntsville, Alabama.

**UPDATE** Grandbaby Cameron arrived April 14th, 2022!!!

The Gent and I like to travel. We go to Tunica quite often. I recently learned to play poker, and I am putting it on my bucket list to play in a tournament, no matter how small it is.

Recently, I lost all of my hair due to Alopecia. I have experimented with wigs, and while I have had some very modern and realistic ones, I prefer just going bald.

I am of the Generation X era, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice. In addition to my blog and social media platforms, I also have a podcast called Carol ReMarks, and it’s simply a fun project for me.
