Trey and Kari are getting married!


Do you see the ring?

Yes, it is true. Some of you have already heard the full story but for those who may not have, we wanted to let you know what’s been going on “behind the scenes.” The answer to that one is, “Nothing…as far as we knew!”


Bliss...

Trey and I worked "blindly" together on the same health team in Senegal without realizing any romantic interest existed between us. Together we went through everything that 18 months of Senegal will send your way- eg; language study, volunteer teams, adjusting to culture, celebrating holidays (American and Senegalese!), discovering Nebeday, the car accident, the break in, moving into villages, ad infinitum…


Paradise...Trey, me, best friend Nicole, and lots of Mom's food


Going through some of our pre-marital counseling

And when Trey’s term ended it became clear to us both that God had much more planned for us. He prayed about it for two weeks in the US, and then called me on 24 June and basically laid everything out about what GOD was telling him and asking me to pray about us becoming "us"... this while we were on different continents and had never even held hands or been on a date! Within 48 hours, I said yes… a very enthusiastic yes!!


First day together


Chris made this sign for my car to remind me of raapides in Senegal

Trey was waiting for me at the Atlanta airport on Monday night with my parents and brother, Chris, when I arrived in the US and we will spend a month together before he begins medical school in France in October. The big day is in December and following the wedding, I will move to join him in France where we’ll live for six years.


Trey has been wonderful to help me thr
