I have tears in my eyes as I write this. This dream seemed so far away. The ache in our hearts drove us onward every day towards a goal that we wanted more than anything else in the world, but a goal that seemed impossible. Guys, nothing is impossible with God.

Once upon a time there was a perfect dish. It was a beautiful pairing of fat, protein and garlic all jammed into one delicious spread. And they called it: HUMMUS! Lord have mercy.
