Mrs. Goria

Mrs. Goria: When Paul started attending College in Ashland it wasn’t more than a week before he met one of his “R.A.’s - Resident Assistants” an amazing, encouraging and passionate young man named Andrew Goria. (Now I know that the title of this chapter is MRS. Goria, don’t worry he didn’t get a sex change, just wait and it will all be explained) Andrew and Paul have shared many cherished memories over the past 4ish years. From being in a “metal-core” band together with their dear friend Mark Lubbers (now living in Ventura) to adopting Hannah as their “little sister,” working at the Revolution in Ashland and countless other endeavors and adventures. Andrew moved back to his home town, (Portland) shortly after graduating to pursue his calling to be a pastor and began attending seminary. So here is how this story goes from there: Andrew was Paul’s R.A. and then Paul was Hannah’s R.A. and then later Hannah became Karen-Rose Anderson’s R.A. and it was during the time that Hannah was an R.A. that a phone call was made that changed Andrew’s life forever. One night while Paul was visiting Hannah and Karen-Rose while doing some homework, his good friend Andrew called, but being overwhelmed with a pressing paper he handed the phone to Karen-Rose, whom Andrew had never met before, and more than a half an hour later they were still chatting, we knew something was up. Needless to say that little phone conversation led two little love birds down the road to marriage, a marriage that we were undoubtedly invited to this summer. On July 11^th 2009 Mrs. Karen-Rose Goria started a new chapter of her life in Wilsonville Oregon as an interim Pastors wife/ Nursing student and now the world is in big trouble in a good way.
