Dahlonega | Home of the 1st Gold Rush in America

Growing up,in North Georgia meant field trips to Dahlonega, GA - home of the first Gold Rush.  We would take buses up to the North Georgia mountains and try our hand at panning for gold.  I think I may even still have little tubes of gold flakes that I so proudly collected.


Fast forward several years and the waterfalls of Dahlonega, GA painted the background as Pete asked me to be his wife.




Dahlonega has been a key place in my life for years - camp, friends, fun, and hiking - an all around great place to spend time growing up.

This weekend, Pete and I went to Dahlonega and had the privilege of sharing the mission of MAF with some great people at Dahlonega UMC.  We had a great time and enjoyed being with Pete's family, meeting some amazing new people, and reconnecting with longtime family friends.  All-in-all, it was a great weekend and God really showed up and prepared our way. 

We are grateful for the people at Dahlonega UMC for having us!
