Emmie (Tippett) and Dave Sellers

David and I have been married and living in Newnan, GA for 9 years now. We never thought we would be here that long, but the Lord had other plans. We have two girls, Hayes ( 7 yrs. old) and Bennett (5 yrs. old). David is a Mechanical Engineer (graduated from Auburn) at Hoshizaki America, Inc. (a Japanese company), in Peachtree City, where he designs commercial ice makers for hotels, restaurants, etc... He is doing very well there and seems to enjoy it (his work history is less complicated than mine). I graduated from Auburn as well in Human Development and Family Studies. My concentration was Child Life- preparing children for medical/surgical procedures in the hospitals. I did an internship at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville. After graduation I stayed in Nashville for 2 years but did not work as a Child Life Specialist. I did a couple of jobs just to pay the bills so I could live there. I loved it in Nashville! When David and I got married I worked as a Program Facilitator teaching a pregnancy prevention course to girls ages 8-18 yrs. I stopped that after a couple of years and then worked as a Counselor for children with emotional and behavioral issues. I did that for about a year and then taught Kindergarten at a Classical school in Newnan. I stopped work after our first child and now I'm a photographer. Wow! What a switch! I started my business about 5 years ago (sellersphotography.com). I love it! David is behind the scenes with that as well. He designed our website and helps with the business side of things. We also help lead the praise and worship music at our fellowship where David is lead on guitar and voice and I am lead on voice as well. Playing a musical instrument was never a strength of mine. :-) The Lord has truly blessed us, and we are trying to enjoy everyday He gives us! We hope to see you all in July!P.S.- Tyree, you had me and David laughing! Your humor hasn't changed a bit!
