Hayden S
Hayden originally moved to Birmingham to attend Samford University. She studied journalism and sociology, but returned to graduate school at UAB after finding her true calling in career as an English teacher. While in graduate school Hayden met her now husband, Andy, who moved back “home” from Auburn to start his adult life. In a whirlwind romance, Hayden and Andy truly grew up together in their short courtship, and got engaged six months later.
Hayden and Andy have now been married going on five years, and they live in Ross Bridge with their joy-giving toddler daughter Abigail. Hayden enjoys spending time with family, traveling to experience other cultures and food, entertaining and hospitality at home, building community in her church, cultivating friendships -- old and new alike, getting caught up in a good book with a cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine at night, teaching children that knowledge is indeed power, and writing to process her thoughts. Above all, she truly desires to see God glorified in all aspects of her life.
