They have talked about their dream of raising children together since the beginning of their marriage. "We can't wait to rock our baby to sleep and watch as he or she takes their first steps. It is our dream to have children to shower with love and affection, to kiss and hug away tears."

Lisa and Todd met ten years ago and have been best friends ever since. They will celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary this year. They love spending time together working around the house and yard, relaxing, or playing with their cats Mickey and Saucers.
