Joel & Tessi

Jillian - the one between us in the photo at the top, and the one responsible for all of this marriage stuff - was chrismated at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Fort Wayne, IN alongside her four children, Samuel, Lucas, Levi, and Solome. It’s been a long time in the making and a difficult struggle (not to be subjective, but Orthodox conversion stories are nearly always miraculous), and she’ll be the first one to tell you that she is finally Home.

We just wanted to say a public congratulations to our very dear friend and matchmaker. We love you Jillian! God grant you many years!
