Bryn... my girl since 8th grade! She is THE most loyal and thoughtful friend anyone on this earth could pray for! Brynlee is the #1 person to make brownies with (as long as she is the one to lick the spoon), a support system I will treasure forever, and my favorite person to go to Chili's with! To know her is to experience patience and grace like no other. She is a Woman of God with a heart to serve others that is beyond evident in the way she walks in daily life!

Jared and I met in the summer of 2012 as incoming freshmen at Stratford high school. We immediately formed a bond that won’t ever be broken. Me and Jared as so similar in personality but so different when it comes to what sports teams we root for. He likes the horns and I like the Aggies. He likes the cowboys and I like the Texans. We are both very competitive and we give eachother a hard time every time we watch our favorite teams play. Our friendship has a great balance of fun and competitiveness and we enjoy having a good time together. We spent just about everyday of high school together along with Rakeem and I’m surprised we didn’t lose our laugh box because we cracked eachother up all day everyday! Jared is a loyal friend, a guy you want on your side when the worlds ending, smart, loving, and has a chance to be a better golfer if he wants to, he’s a lifelong pods!

Oli. Mama. Mrs. Pedroli! She got me through our music classes in college and was my roommate for (pretty much) 4 years. She is the best person to cook breakfast with, hammock next to at the pond, and sing along to Jack Harlow with. She is the best listener and displays a tender heart to all who come across her path. Oli is the best barista and partner to lead worship with...Imma thank Jesus for her for the rest of my LIFE!

Colby and I met my first semester at ETBU. I really enjoyed getting to know Colby because he was and is probably the most chill/go with the flow type of guy there is. What I love about Colby is his desire to get better on the golf course. I love competing with him because we build off each other and encourage each other as we play. Colby is a great listener and will give input where input is due. Colby loves enjoying time with people he loves most! He’s a great friend, a great golfer, and is a life long pods!

Alex, my (soon to be) S.I.L!! eeeekkkk!! The big sister I never got to have, the one with the most creative eye for design and style, and a friend that will fight for you no matter the time. She is the most thoughtful gift giver and will always be down to grab Mexican food with you! She has a heart for her friends and family, unlike anyone I have ever seen. Alex is best movie watching partner, top dawg Canva expertise, and ultimate Yeti tumbler lover... (seriously, when you see her, ask her how many she owns!)

Dylan Drum is my brother in law and has become a really close friend to me over the last few years. Dylan is a great guy to have on your team because he expects things to get done right and in a timely manner. He’s a great accountability partner. I love spending time with Dylan and drinking a bang energy drink while we talk about some aspect of life together. He’s got a lot of knowledge and is a great person to talk to! Dylan is a hard worker, good listener, great friend, is going to be a great golfer, and a lifelong pods!

My girl, Kathy P! The life of the party no matter what genre of music is playing... My dance partner and favorite person to road trip with. Kathryn is the best hype woman, cook, and hairstylist. She is bold in her faith and shines Christ's kindness to everyone! Her smile, and contagious laugh, brightens up any room she walks into. Kathy is a friend who will pick you up when you're down and then proceed to drive you to HteaO for happy hour!

Rakeem Boyd, probably one of the funniest guys I know as well as the best athlete in the group. Me and Rakeem met freshmen year of high school. I was the QB and he was the RB so we were forced to get along. Luckily, we liked eachother and began spending just about everyday of high school together along with Jared. We share a ton of memories together as I could probably write a book about us. He is a great friend and is growing into a great dad. I love this guy like a brother! Rakeem is a great friend, dad, athlete, comedian, and a lifelong pods!

Hannie!! My girl that's always down for a Margarita and a sweet treat. Hannah is the most intentional gift giver to ever walk the earth, the most fun to grocery shop with, and a girl who can seriously throw down with cooking some southern food. She is my favorite songwriting partner and one of the best people to laugh with! To know Hannah is to experience heartfelt conversation, joy of the Lord, and the most tender care.

Tyler Jones is a guy I met my first semester at ETBU just like Colby. Tyler and Colby were already best friends so I had to nestle my way into the group. Thankfully they are great people and welcomed me with open arms. Tyler is also a very funny human being and has so many stories that will make you question everything about your life. You will wonder if they are true and I promise you they are all true. He’s such a fun loving dude and will always be there to listen to you. Tyler is a great friend and a great golfer and a lifelong pods!
