Rodney's Life Kris's Life

Born and raised in Southern Illinois. 

Served four years in the U.S. Air Force.

Earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Engineering Technology.

Currently works at the Boeing Company as a nerd, I mean software engineer.

Activities/Hobbies:  Music, dancing, enjoying every minute of my life and trying to make everyone I meet smile.

When I was in high school I had the largest music selection, best car stereo and attended every party event I could.

I hosted and planned my organization's picnics and parties in the Air Force.

I have been a member, board member (1 year),  vice-president (1 year) and president (5 years) of a local dance club.  I am currently a voluntary DJ for the club and have been since 1996. 

Born in California but raised in St. Louis.

Worked as a waitress prior to becoming a customer service representative in the insurance industry.

Earned an Associates Degree in Business Administration.

Activities/Hobbies:  Music, singing, dancing and I'm a major collector of knick knacks.  I need a bigger house!  I love spending time with my family consisting of 10 nieces and nephews and 4 great nieces and nephews.  (That's why we don't want kids... HA-HA) 

I am the "social butterfly" in my office making sure all birthdays & major events are recognized.  (I don't celebrate my own though.  I prefer to put others before myself.)

I was the treasurer for two years, president for one year of my local chapter and the Missouri regional vice president of the honor society of two year colleges - Phi Theta Kappa. 

I am very much looking forward to the day I become Mrs. Rodney Huckleberry.  It will be a long 6-1/2 years, but well worth the wait.  We are made for each other.

Our lives Together:

We met at a dance in 1995 and have been together and very much in love from the first evening we met.  We are engaged and will be married August 3, 2002.

We are dog lovers and treat them as our children.  While together, we have lost two dogs to cancer.  We have since acquired three new dogs/children, Jackpot, Jordan and Jasmine.

We have chosen not to have children of our own because we would rather spend our time entertaining others, spending time with our four legged children and having fun on a moments notice. 

Rodney's Life

I graduated from high school and joined the U.S. Air Force where I protected Our Country as a computer technician for four years by operating, maintaining and servicing a computer system that alerted a command post to scramble B-52 bomber pilots and crew to their planes in the event of an attack anywhere around the world.

When I left the Air Force I went to college then began a career in St. Louis, MO.

I volunteered to DJ for a dance club in 1995.  I am still the DJ.  I got  many requests to DJ for parties outside of the dance club.  As you can guess, that is where R&K Music Mix began.

It is not just me though.  This is my life but I have a wonderful, beautiful partner, Kris Kortum.  We have enjoyed and grew adventure together.  Now you need to read about Kris and all of her experiences.

 

Kris's Life

I grew up in the St. Louis, MO North County area and graduated from one of the Hazelwood School District high schools.  From 7th grade to graduation, I sang with all the school choirs.  After graduation, I joined the Vallee des Fleur chapter of Sweet Adelines where my mother was the director and my two sisters were also members.  We sang one year and competed as the quartet known as "Inheritance". 

I also danced with the Happy Tapper Cloggers, a square dance exhibition team.  With this organization, I performed at various events and got my first chance to travel outside of Missouri without my family.  This opportunity lead me to country line dancing where I currently belong to a local dance club serving as the dance coordinator and instructor.

These experiences helped build my love for music and dancing.  My parents never thought I would meet someone who shared my love for dogs, so meeting Rodney was a shock to everyone.  We share a love for dogs, music and dancing - the major links in our relationship.  It helps that we are best friends and supporters for each other in work, play and the DJ business.  We are perfect partners in every way.

Now let's party together!

Oh, here are some pictures of our children.
