Axios!



Congratulations, Dear!  You've been preparing for this since before I met you.  Thank you for letting me share this journey with you. 



Axios!  Mustahek!  He is worthy!

(As a side note, the girls now want to call him "Father Daddy.")

  2. Axios!

    What's it like to be a Khouria??

    And I believe when our deacon was ordained, his daughters began calling him "Deacon Daddy". :)

    May God bless you all...

  4. Thank you for all the well-wishes!

    Annie, I'll get back to you in a year on that one. That's how long it took me to realize I was a Shamassy. ;)

  7. Thank you for the list, Andreea Tatiana! I'm collecting all the titles I can remember. I love languages and since we English speakers don't have our own term for "priest's wife," I'm completely intrigued by the many words other languages employ!
