About Us

Don and I met playing touch football in December 1984 behind Mount Bethel United Methodist Church with some friends and my father and brother. Luckily, my father and brother already knew Don from the church softball league, so he already had their "stamp of approval"! Don had just graduated from Georgia Tech and I was home during Christmas break. Soon we began dating and were married May 23, 1987.

Our journeys of faith have been wonderful preparations for this new adventure God has called us to.
