When I went off to teach in Tunisia, someone said to me, "I just know you're going to meet someone and fall in love!" In my mind, there wasn't much chance of moving to a country that was 99% Muslim and meeting a man who was:
1. A dedicated Christian
2. Single
3. Intelligent
4. Musical
5. Not in the military
6. Funny
7. Handsome
Well, I didn't meet that guy, but I met Arthur and he was close enough. Just kidding. I found all of that and more when we met at the American School just a few weeks after I arrived in the country. After seeing Arthur in the international choir and quickly finding that he met qualities number 7 and 4, my research began! I was delighted to find everything I was looking for and even some things I wasn't looking for (how did I get so lucky to find a guy who can COOK?) We began dating last year, he proposed in August, I said yes about one millisecond later and we'll be married in the states this July. It's all SO exciting. We plan to return to Tunisia after the wedding to continue our work at the school. Just thought I should let you know ;)

Your love story is wonderful. Thanks for sharing it. We find Arthur funny and adorable as well as intelligent and strong of purpose, and we are so happy for your joy.
Congratulations! He sounds great! I don't know if we can make it out in July for the wedding. I really wish I could though!!! I know my parents will be there- if it is near Oregon. What an amazing and romantic way to meet! You will have great stories to tell your kids! Is he also from the states?
Yay for a new blog post! We can't wait for you to get here!!!
Does your sister have a blog? I would love to watch her blog too!
