Our story began in 1984, when Tom’s family moved to Colorado Springs, where he became neighbors with John. Both just freshmen in high school, little did they know that would be the start of a friendship that would last a lifetime. After high school, both moved to different states, but always kept in touch. Eventually John and Jessica moved to Alabama to finish college along with Tom and Shannon and all four graduated from Auburn University in Montgomery. Through high school, moving to different states, starting college, meeting their future wives, and now raising children together, the friendship has survived 41 years. John and Jessica have made a career of caring for others. Both being nurses, they run their own health care company in Auburn and have 2 children, Kayla and Jabe. Kayla attended Troy University where she is majoried in nursing. She is currently is working at Baptist South in Montgomery, AL as a NICU nurse. Jabe just completed 2 years at Enterprise State Community College where he played baseball and will continue his baseball career next year at Troy University.
Tom is a successful salesman and Shannon is a retired elementary school teacher. They have one son who is an electrical project manager for Crosby Electric in Montgomery, AL. We have hopes of all retiring in the near future and enjoying a life at our “Happy Place”, the Beach.
