It honestly and truly has been a dream come true for the both of us. Dennis and I had been in failed relationships in the past and we had both started to feel like "happily ever after" just wasn't going to happen for us. Then one day we met over the internet and our lives took a dramatic turn. In a matter of weeks after meeting in person, we had fallen in love. And a few months later we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We were engaged 5 months after we met and we were married 5 months after that. Dennis is different than any other man I had ever dated. He is extremely considerate and compassionate. He is always more concerned with my happiness than he is with his own. On a daily basis he does everything he can to make me feel good. Just an example of that comes when we're sitting together after work at night. Dennis will ask me if I'm comfortable. I'll shrug and say, "sure". Then he'll say, "Are you 100% comfortable? If not, what can I do to make you more comfortable." He's a wonderful husband and I can't wait to spend the next 70 years of my life with him, not to mention an eternity in heaven with him.
We have been married since Oct 17, 1998 and we have two sons named Benjamin Norman and Samuel Paul. We named them both after people in our family. Benjamin is for his 3rd great grandfather, Benjamin Farnham. Norman is for his grandfather, Norman Duane Caskey. Notice that Benjamin even LOOKS like his Grandpa Caskey.

Samuel is for his 5th great grandfather, Samuel Wasson. Paul is for his great grandfather, Paul Smith, as well as for his grandfather, Donald Paul Smith, and his uncle, Michael Paul Smith. He seems to look more like his mom did when she was a baby.
