About Us

Kristin is a Southern Georgia belle, who graduated from UGA as a veterinarian May 2010. Carter grew up in NC, went on to seminary, became an ordained pastor, and has completed his doctorate of ministry. After retiring from full-time ministry, Carter is thoroughly enjoying being a financial advisor (and volunteering on the ministry side of things). After about a month of emailing, asking questions, and going through the steps of eharmony.com, we were full of excitement and became very eager to meet one another face to face. October 25, 2009, we met and enjoyed every minute together. We had no doubt God was going to strengthen our relationship with Him as well as with one another. Carter proposed August 9, 2010 on the boat in the middle of Lake Wylie at sunset. Kristin said "Yes" after some happy tears. We got married April 2, 2011 and what an amazing beautiful day that was! God has continued to bless us throughout our marriage. On May 18, 2017, our family grew when God gave us our son, Micah. We look forward to see what He has in store for us each and every day. We are super blessed to be serving the Lord wherever we are. God is constantly surprising us with new callings!

"Peanut, It's Dad Here!" : )

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

“Peanut, it’s Dad here.” (Carter grinning ear to ear every time he says this line at my growing belly.)  And then many other lines normally follow…  “Mommy and Daddy love you!  We are proud of you!  God loves you!”…

Practically, every time Carter does this now, Baby R gets excited and begins moving about for both of us to feel.  I can just foresee how our Munchkin is going to respond later on…when Daddy comes home, when Daddy is giving loving, when Daddy and baby meet eyes for the first time.  I’m not going to lie, my heart melts EVERY time we have these special moments or when I think about once Baby R is here!  

I can’t help but think about how our bundle of joy already knows Mommy and Daddy’s voices! 

Carter and I were just having the discussion how Peanut is still in Mommy’s womb!  And how God knew this precious little one before formation and is now forming every detail!  How cool is that!?  Seeing those details over time at ultrasound appointments has just allowed us to cherish every minute!  

We are all known by God!  We are all special children of the Lord!

We praise God every day for trusting us with His little one!  We can’t believe we are already Week 23 into this journey!  Praying Baby R grows up loving his Creator and serving Him daily!


For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13
