A Luv Story Born from Cupid


We met in March 2017, via ‘Ok Cupid’ online dating site,
and then face-to-face over morning breakfast
at one of our favorite restaurants in Bozeman…
four months later, in July, we were engaged!
Dennis says he knew right away that I was the one…
it took me a bit longer, but not that long!
🙂


Dennis proposed to me at midnight in-between our birthdays,
his is July 23rd and mine is the 24th = fabulous!

Dennis is 44 and I am 42, this will be his second marriage, and my first.
Dennis has an 11-year-old adopted daughter who lives with us
in our newly purchased home in Bozeman, MT…
This has been exciting and extremely challenging,
but we are in-love, and a big support to each other.

FYI: I was never interested in marriage or kids…
until I met Dennis, game-changer for me.

Dennis is employed with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
as a biologist working with bison and tribal reservations
in Montana and surrounding states.


I am a professor and academic advisor at Montana State University (MSU)
working primarily with students from social science and humanity backgrounds
(political science, sociology, literature, etc.).

Most importantly,
we love each other very much,
and we are a constant source of support to each other…
Through thick and thin…!
🙂



A Luv Story Blessing – Born from Cupid

Cara with Greek Blood – Greek Goddesses are eternally young!
Dennis with Danish Blood – the adventurous Viking
fit to capture the heart of a Goddess


Finding a Soulmate on Ok Cupid is a sensible way to go… besides…
How many countless eons and beers would it take to meet in a bar
:-O
Four months is an enchanting perspective of getting know someone.
Far too often,
like when meeting someone at a bar,
our reptilian reproduction instincts are what falls in with
what seems to be love…
This ‘surface only’ love often dissipates once we start talking…
But after 4 months of talking… a True Love was sincerely born.
What an endearing birthday presents for your both!…


Your marriage is already complete as a family…
You both are fulfilling a great spiritual gift,
the gift of unconditional love to this young soul.
… and yes, life is challenging, and so is change…

11 is about the age most feel they know everything already…
I’ve been there & did that too with my wife’s kid.
Tempting to let ‘em loose so they can Conquer the world
while they still know everything…
:-O
Awe… all in due time 😉
For they will save the planet… they are our greatest hope!


Dennis works with great service of Spirit helping our 1st nation people
persevering the natural and sacred Bison resources
that was and forever will be
part of the heritage of this great land.

You are indeed building sacred bridges that greatly help connect all people.
Truly noble path of ‘Right Livelihood’
helping to Transcend towards the future,
While including the heritage and natural resources that made it all possible.



This marriage is the perfect combination to bring our world into proper focus
With the Higher Consciousness of Cara’s expertise in humanity and social science.

Your example of unconditional Love, compassion and forward-thinking intelligence
will indeed make the world a better place.



Like a ripple on the pond of life,
your influences will continue to grow and go forth
forevermore in your daughter’s life and all that you
touch, love and help.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
