Philip and I became friends on a ski trip with our church college group in January 2001. Two years later, in January 2003, we were married at that same church. At the time, I was just about to begin my doctoral studies in math at the University of Alabama. We moved to Birmingham, Alabama, and have loved being here ever since!
In early 2007, we realized that God had quite a plan for forming our family. We eagerly began the paperchase for an international adoption, specifically from Colombia, South America.
In the meantime, we had a beautiful daughter in August 2008, Caroline.
I finished up my PhD in October 2009. I am now enjoying staying home with my sweet baby girl and teaching motivated middle schoolers part time at MIST Academy.
We are living the life God has for us right now as wait for her sibling from Colombia to join us!
