Abby met Nadine through CJ and Colin's friendship. They became fast friends over their love of thrifting, art markets, and all things spooky. From getting little treats together to ranting about life, there is never time for an awkward silence when they are together. Presently, they probably hangout even more often than CJ and Colin do.

Colin and CJ met playing football in 4th grade. Between practice and living down the road from each other, they quickly became close. Sharing interests in LEGO, Star Wars, and Transformers, they eventually found themselves in the same scout troop. There they would grow together, and Colin would assist CJ in obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Nowadays we spend time playing board games, video games, and going on adventures as a group.

Abby met Micayla freshman year of high school, but they did not become friends until junior year. Abby did not like Micayla very much for the first couple years, but that was not going to stop Micayla. With her persistence and bubbly personality, she slowly inched her way in, and the rest was history. They have maintained their friendship through the years with lengthy phone calls to gossip and drink many bottles of wine together.

CJ met Sam while playing Xbox. Back in 2016, CJ joined an Xbox party with Austin Robbins (we'll get to him later) and the rest is history. Sharing interests in firearms, video games, and overall tomfoolery, CJ and Sam became fast friends. When we venture out to West Virginia, you can typically find us at a shooting range, Weathered Ground, or somewhere outdoors.

Abby met Tiffany in kindergarten but did not become friends until 7th grade. From that point through high school, Abby spent more time at Tiffany's house on the weekends than at her own home. They spent so much time outside on the farm riding the four-wheeler, fishing, and catching frogs in the creek. They have remained long-distance friends through the years with hours long phone calls to catch up on big life events.

CJ met Ivan during freshman year at Purdue in COM114. With a pizza ordered and an invitation accepted to a night of Cards Against Humanity in the Laundry Basement off his Hilltop Apartment, this was the beginning of an exciting friendship. Ivan taught CJ how to longboard with late night trips around campus and to Insomnia Cookies. Ivan and CJ roomed together sophomore year and solidified a lasting friendship. The pair never decline drinks and good stories or video games. Ivan always gives an "I told you so" to CJ when around.

Jenna went to high school with CJ, but became close friends with Abby through mutual friends. Jenna's vibrant style and personality make them a really cool person to be around. Abby and Jenna enjoy going to markets, watching Rick and Morty, and doing little crafts together. Jenna and Abby share the same sense of humor; both swear the other is one of the funniest people they know.

CJ became friends with Austin through robotics in high school. Becoming closer through junior year, Austin and CJ shared robotics, video games and firearms as interests. CJ and Austin enjoy first person shooters and looters with friends, as well as the occasional Guitar Hero session. It was video gaming with Austin that gave way to more lasting friendships.

Abby met Maggie at Purdue at the same dining court where they both met CJ. Maggie and CJ became friends first by having a small group together they called "Girl's Night." Abby became friends with Maggie because she is always down to get some chips, queso, and margaritas to discuss the latest and greatest trash tv show. Maggie is the type of person to always stick up for her friends and will drop everything to help someone she cares about.

CJ met Will at Purdue. Sharing a Major and several classes allowed this friendship to grow. Along with a shared love of Star Wars, LEGO and late nights drin-, we mean studying, they became close friends. Time spent together post Purdue has been going on trips, playing video or board games and watching Purdue Sports when possible.

CJ met Renee as a Freshman in High School when she volunteered to mentor for FRC 1529, the CyberCards, out of Southport High School. She was instrumental in helping CJ develop soft/communication skills and become a leader on the team. She was one of the many mentors who inspired CJ to mentor FRC teams. Nowadays they enjoy time together grabbing dinner, drinks, and helping surprise Amelia with birthday presents and playgrounds.
