How We Met John and Lisa have known each other since elementary school and met when John's family moved back to Odessa and joined Immanuel Baptist Church. For Lisa, it was love at first sight (she still remembers the first time she saw John!) while John was too busy being a boy to notice. Lisa was so smitten that she could hardly speak around him! It wasn't until they were teenagers that John fell in love. They made an attempt at a long distance relationship while they both attended college but eventually John and Lisa each went their own way. After losing touch for almost a decade, they ended up working at the same small bank...and it didn't take long for the flame to rekindle! Since being reunited, they have been inseparable.

The Proposal It was magical! John booked a room at Lisa's favorite bed and breakfast, the Veranda Historic Inn, in the sleepy town of Fort Davis. They spent the weekend strolling the main street and goofing around in the boutiques. John made the reservation for a romantic dinner, and Lisa crossed her fingers that this would be the moment she had been waiting for. Three courses came and went with laughter and love, but no ring and no question. She trusted that John had a better plan. On Sunday morning, the couple checked out of the Veranda but didn't immediately leave town. John suggested that they cruise around a residential area and took a small caliche road up a hill. He parked at the top where they had a spectacular view of the whole town. While Lisa was taking it all in, he pulled out a ring box and popped the question. Of course, Lisa said yes!

Our Babies We have two amazing pups, Sidney and Berkley. Sidney is a red and white English Staffordshire Terrier, or English Staffy. She is full of spunk and definitely has her own ideas. We brought her home in October when she was 6 weeks old, and she has grown into a beautiful young lady. The vet says she might be a drama queen....We can't imagine where she gets that from! Berkley is a black and white labrador/ basset/ mastiff mix. He is going to be a BIG boy! We brought him home from a rescue group in February, and he has made our family complete. Berkley is a bit of a momma's boy, loves to cuddle, and is very laid back. Having two puppies under a year old has been challenging, but they have brought fullness to our lives.
