At about 2pm on 4-16-1980 I married the love of my life, Denise. It's been a long trying 28yrs, but so far we have been able to handle all the ups & downs & are the proud parents of a set of twins Nicholas & Natalie(our Angels) and our son Joe who is in the Marine's.

I had known Denise for 10yrs when we got married. I happen to meet her at one of the states employment offices after not seeing her for about 6yrs & couldn't believe my eyes when we seen each other. Personally I believe she had it all planned out already, because on our 1st date I went to pick her up & she had been drinking & passed out before we could even get out of the house. So being the gentleman that I am I put her in bed & covered her up, locked the doors & went home. The 2nd date we had I asked her to pick up a 6pack for me & what does she show up with?? A 6pack of TALL BOYS, 24oz cans of Miller, and the rest was history.

In reality I did have to ask her to marry me twice. When she finally said "YES" I had to ask why she didn't answer me the first time. She told me that she was in a state of shock & couldn't believe that I wanted to get married so soon after getting together. We had lived w/each other for only 4-5 months before I popped the question. Hell I knew she was the one for me because of the way I felt when I was & am around her. What gets me is it's hard to believe she has put up w/my cr@p for 28+ years, but then I've put up w/hers too.

But then I KNOW I got the better end of the deal....joe
