The Holzman Family: Dan, Lindsey and Troy
Meeting new people from Paulding and having them on our cover is always a joy for us at Our Town. In this special month of May, we have the Holzman family – Dan, Lindsey and Troy.
The Holzman’s bought their first home in Paulding County after they were married in 2005. Dan is originally from Acworth and Lindsey from Marietta. They met during their senior year in high school and continued to date throughout college. They both graduated from Georgia Southern University in 2004.
Lindsey is the Student Affairs Coordinator at the Mountain View Campus of Chattahoochee Technical College and Dan is the Manager of the Georgia Division, Central Yard Operations for Norfolk Southern Railroad.
They welcomed their first child, a son Troy, to their new family in 2009. Troy is a beautiful one-year old who loves to play and read. He had quite the time in his ball pit while we were shooting. Also, he REALLY loves cell phones! We imagine that in no time, he’ll be texting and talking away. For Lindsey, being a mom has been a truly rewarding experience. She loves watching Troy grow and learn new things daily, and being a mom is “definitely one of life’s greatest blessings that forever changes you”.
As a family, Dan and Lindsey have received so much joy in watching Troy grow and develop his personality in his first year. They said “no matter what we have going on in our lives, Troy brings smiles and laughter into every moment we’re together”. Now that Troy is walking and running, they love taking him to the park. Being as active as possible and exercising is very important for them. Also, Dan is a big fan of the Cleveland Indians and is very happy that baseball season has begun.
This Mother’s Day, Lindsey is looking forward to spending time with their family, including their own “wonderful” mothers. We asked Dan and Lindsey about their moms and they said,
“We are so blessed to have such amazing mothers in our lives that have truly worked hard to instill what family means and we hope to continue these values in our own family. We have the luxury of living close to both sets of our parents and the guidance, support and love that they have given to our family couldn’t be appreciated more.”
We thank Dan, Lindsey and Troy for their time, and we wish Lindsey and her moms a Happy Mother’s Day.
