My first visit to Cairo was a life-changing experience..Not only did I realize I had to find a way to convince Brad to marry me, but I realized the world is soooo much bigger than each of us alone. I know it sounds trite but, really, to a 23 year old single woman from Cache Valley..My world was really small. Mom encouraged me to go without hesitation. Now that I'm a mother of a daughter I realize how huge that was for Mom and Dad, to send me off to visit Egypt in the midst of the 1st Gulf War, and a guy that I had briefly dated and was totally gaagaa for.
Mom said she had always wanted to go to Egypt...That was all it took. I decided then and there that I was going. Thank you, thank you, thank you Mom and Dad for your encouragement and support for that adventure of a lifetime. Since then I have dreamed of the day that Mom would get to Cairo with me. Dreams do come true! I got the guy...I've been back to my beloved Egypt a few times since...always with him...and I never tire of either one.
