Jessica My wife was born in Vietnam where her father was an operative in the South Vietnamese army during the war. He was held in a reeducation camp afterwards for six years.
They all managed to escape the country when he was released and they were sponsored to the US by a church group in Cedar Rapids. Her story is really quite amazing and deserves a lot more space than I have given. Suffice it to say that a million different circumstances in two continents had to align perfectly so that I could meet her in an Iowa City preschool in 1996. Thank goodness she said yes when I asked her out! When she isn't working hard to keep the family unit running efficiently (which is 90% of the time); she enjoys working out, fundraising for non-profits, and reading books on her iPhone Kindle. Her favorite author is Jane Austen and she is a sucker for stories from the Regency Period and also shares my love of a good Fantasy yarn (especially ones by Elizabeth Haydon). |
