One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to the Middle East alone to research family history. I met the Greek Orthodox Patriarch in Jerusalem who helped me on my mission. He led me to family I had never met and 4 days later I met my amazing husband in the lobby of a play called Lots of Love about the difficulties of dating in a technologically advanced world. It was an incredibly life changing trip.
