For our honeymoon we spent a week in North Georgia exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains near Elijay GA. We’d found a cozy little cabin deep in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest on the lower slopes of Wolfpen Mountain.

Live video of our wedding will be streamed at 3:00 PM EST, March 20th, 2021. The service is taking place in the Broken Oak Forest of Radium Acres.

We set out quietly on our hike, watching the forest slowly come alive with the rising sun. We were humbled by the …
Even in the middle of a South Georgia summer 6:00 AM can be brisk— and it was. This was Labor Day; Robert and I were trying not to wake anyone as we shuffled out of the house. We were on our way to meet up with a new friend: Tim. Tim had reached …
