Celebrating 14 years of Marriage!















Little did we know when we met 17 years ago while attending UGA, what an adventure our lives would be. Four months after we were married, Holly's dad passed away. We lived in Rome for seven years while Merril worked as a pharmacist.

We then felt the Lord leading us and our two children to move overseas and work in Thailand. This was another growing time for all of us emotionally and spiritually. We found true contentment and strength from the Father during our time there. Our third child was born there.

After returning to the States, we lived and prayed about where God would have us next. Our fourth child was born and two years later, we ventured out on another journey to our present home... Central Asia. We have been here over 2 1/2 years now and have had challenging but yet rewarding experiences. We have made many friends and have grown to love the people here.

We are so blessed to have each other and have 14 amazing years together as husband and wife. It has been a great adventure thus far!
