Dating: 12 years from the time she was 17 to when she got married at 29. Expertise: Kara is the go-to friend for dating advice. Before she married her best friend, she had to kiss a lot of frogs — not just frogs, but absolute beastly creatures. One day, her sister said, "What you're doing is obviously not working. Why don't you look for someone opposite of the men you've dated in the past?" She took her advice and couldn't have found a better guy to spend the rest of her life with. Background: Did you read the last paragraph? She's married to her best friend. She wins. Education: Bachelor's degree in journalism from Flagler College in St. Augustine, Fla. Relationship status: Happily, happily (obnoxiously) happily married to her best friend. Hobbies: Going to concerts with her husband, taking photos of her daughter, being a workaholic, learning about and drinking microbrews, and taking weekly trips to the local farmers market.
