About Us


That's us. Up there ^^ in the picture. George on the left. Me (Jay) on the right. I never really know what to say in these sections of things - But, I'm going to give it my best shot.

Us:
Our relationship started in a whirlwind way. There's just no other way to say that.  Technically we met at a church youth function when I was in middle school - he lived in GA & I lived in AL. We didn't speak to each other until we both wound up at the same christian youth camp the summer after my senior year of high school. That was in July. By September, we were engaged & I had moved to GA from AL. We were married in January. I mean... what can I say? When you know - you know! We found out we were expecting in April. Our first little munchkin was born that December --- and our life hasn't slowed down yet. Not that we would have it any other way.

George:
What can I say about George? He's the one God made for me. No doubt about it. He's the youngest of 2 boys (10 years about). He's handsome. He's smart. He's funny (in his own little quirky way). He loves one line jokes, seer sucker pants, & all things running/biking/swimming. He's a 5 time marathon finisher --- so that will tell you that he's goal oriented. commited. persistent. He runs 3 restaurants like a well-oiled machine & he never does anything halfway. But even more than all of those things - he loves our children with boundless love. No question about it - he's the best Dad I know. Which only makes me love him more.

Me:
I'll make this quick - I'm a wife, a momma, a photographer, a best friend, a sister, a daughter & I know that all of those things are gifts from the Lord. I'm one of 7 preacher's kids. 5 of us were adopted - and I'm the youngest. I'm not a great house-keeper, a great cook, or an avid exercise fan. I love the movies, good music, an excellent book & could eat my weight in a good creme' brulee. My friends say that I cry too easily & all the spiritual gift tests that I've taken say that hospitality is my SG.. which I don't get (refer to sentence about housekeeping & cooking). Honestly, I try to be an open book - b/c I know from experience that life is much too short to be anything else.
