Jan. 2003, Sid-Ali and I met in London while I was teaching there. I moved back to the states and we continued our relationship. I traveled back to London every school break. In Dec. 2004, we flew to Algeria to meet his family. He had to stay there to wait out the visa and I went back to Algeria the next summer because there was a delay. Sid-Ali had his interview while I was there and he received his visa!! We flew back to the United States together Aug. 28th and we got married on Oct. 30, 2005.
