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!

Not So Little Any More




 My first meeting of my miracle and finding out I'd been carrying a SON!

 Micah (6 months old) and "his pup pup"

 Micah (1 year old)



I was reflecting on Micah’s growth recently from our miracle being in my womb to him turning two this past May.  Thankfully, he has grown into a healthy little boy with his weight and height.  He went from momma’s milk to solids to whole milk and big boy meals to 2% milk. 

Micah’s gone from loving his baths to wanting to swim and do fun water activities like mommy and daddy. “Micah ski!” (Maybe next summer ; )) His big growth moments this summer have been talking in phrases now and surprising us with new vocabulary when we least expect it. He’s wanting to do so much more on his own now. He’s excited and not at all scared to do new things. Besides wanting to swim on his own so badly, he loved his new hiking adventures in the mountains. “Hike. Hike. Water (meaning waterfalls).” 
 
Seeing him talk to Joy and tell her stories melts my heart; they are best friends. “Pup Pup, come here. Play outside.” He loves to copy anything we do and enjoys helping. “Me. Help.” Everywhere we turn, we can’t help but see how Micah is growing and changing as he matures.

Not only has our little guy grown physically, activity wise, and with his vocabulary, he’s also learned more emotions and how to respond to situations or what we are saying. Sometimes that response is super mature, and others is definitely a two year old pout or fit. 

 How is he already 2????

We constantly have prayed for Micah to be healthy, kind, and to love Jesus.  It’s precious to see him now bow his head, close his eyes, and copy Mommy and Daddy’s words the best that he can while praying before meals or at bedtime. Or for him to pull out his bible to read at bed time. Or to say “Church, Church, Church” on Sunday mornings when we head out the door for church.

With all of that being said, I can’t help but ask myself, “How am I growing? How am I growing as a Christian, with my relationship with the Lord? What about as a wife and mother? Or as a mentor or friend? Professionally?...

What about you?

I am a huge believer on growing daily in some way or another. How can we grow to be that better person tomorrow than we were today if we are given the opportunity?


 Someone was super excited about going to school this year!
