It all began with a silly question. We were both involved in our college church ministry in Eugene, OR. Each winter, the college group takes students on a weekend retreat out to a small town called Yachats on the Oregon Coast. During some free time, Tanya happened to sit at a table across from Sam who was busy talking to a friend about traveling through Europe with his family. Tanya, who didn’t know Sam, overheard his conversation and interrupted asking, “did you know Europe has really great cheese?” Not your typical conversation starter… Now Sam and Tanya both reminisce over this moment with laughter knowing that it sparked something special. And it all began with a silly question.
