Since the two have been together for more than ten years, it is clear that their love and affection for one another are growing more intense with each passing day rather than waning. When there is free time, Dina and Paul pack their bags and travel to far-off places. She holds a degree from Mount Royal University and works as a Crossfield Elementary teacher.
