No way could we know back when we were 5 and 8 years old and played with Gremlin on the front porch that we would one day wind up married!!  We played together for a few years as kids, and then the age difference made a difference.

Flash forward to the beginning of 1993 when we both wound up at Morton College.  As Forest Gump would say, "we was like peas and carrots!"  The bestest friendship in the world developed.  We helped each other through our ups and downs over the years, even when hundreds of miles separated us.

Then in early 2000, friendship turned to love when John looked at Lisa and said, "Let's get married!"  Talk about being like peas and carrots!!  Three months later Lisa was walking down the aisle and a wonderful lifetime together truly began.

25 years later, we are living the great life with our 3 grown children, 3 cats, 1 grandcat, and 2 dragons!

We decided instead of throwing a huge party (and you know we LOVE to throw a party), we would do something we've never done before, go on a cruise!!  We will be sailing out of Miami to the Bahamas!!!!!  We are soooooo excited!!

If you'd like to gift us with some fun on our cruise, feel free, and thank you VERY much!!
