Family

Jeff and I met in 1997 when we were freshmen at The University of Alabama. We dated for 3 years, got married, and joined staff with Campus Crusade for Christ (an inter-denominational ministry). We ministered to college students for 13 years at different places like University of Southern Miss, University of Georgia, and finished our time with Cru at our alma mater The University of Alabama.  He now serves as a pastor at Perimeter Church outside of Atlanta, Georgia.  Jeff loves telling people about Jesus and helping them grow in their faith. I love being able to work at home so that I can be in the ministry alongside Jeff and be home with our kids.  He loves Alabama football, golf, basketball, and the occasional video game.

Samuel is 13 years old - my wild and crazy boy. He loves fishing, hunting, working hard outside, and trying to figure out how things make sense.  Adopting him has been one of the greatest blessings and privileges of my life. You can go back to the home page of the blog and look for the links to his adoption story. You should read it. God worked amazing wonders to lead us to our son!

Ellie Kate is my little diva and turned 9 in February. She is high maintenance but as sweet as pie. Giving birth to her was beyond amazing and an experience I will never forget (both good and bad -ha!). She tests me daily and tries my patience, but she also gives the best kisses and I love her to death! Currently, her obsessions include (but are not limited to) her best friend Neely, anything princess, coloring, and playing mama to anyone or anything that will let her.

Abigail is the happiest, sweetest little girl.  She is 7 and seriously an angel! We prayed she would be laid back and easy because after our first two, we hoped for a bit of a break. For the most part, she has been easy and laid back and as sweet as they come.  Abigail is somewhat of a tomboy and loves soccer, playing with her big sister, and reading books. What a joy it has been to have this 3rd little miracle in our family!

Anna Mitchell is our precious little surprise who is 4 years old.  She is busy and wild and loud and makes us all laugh all day long!  We are all a little smitten by her and love to give her lots of kisses and hugs.
