The one, the only, my SISTA GIRL! She’s been there since the beginning and I quite literally don’t know how to live a day of my life without her! She’s the kindest, most thoughtful gal who gives hugs that make you never want to let go. I love you Em, home is where the heart is - thank you for always being my home.

Packy and I have grown up on the field together. From baseball in second grade, to crying on each other's shoulders as we took off our middle school football pads, we have always competed together. I consider Packy a brother as he has always looked after my family. I am lucky enough to have Packy as a loyal friend for life. I love you Packy, thank you for always caring.

Madi and I go all the way back to freshman year of college. After meeting on Facebook and deciding to be roommates over a stack of blueberry banana pancakes, the rest is history! She is easily the funniest person I have ever met in my life. She makes everyone feel like the most important, loved person in the world! I love you Madis, thank you for always being my favorite person in the room.

Carl and I have been friends since high school, and it was a pretty immediate mutual connection. There may not be another person in the world who has made me laugh as much as Carl. I think it's pretty obvious that the man I cohosted a podcast with has no other role than best man. Carl and I have had mutual life experiences in so many ways, and I am lucky to have him in my life. I love you Carl, thank you for always understanding.

Vanessa has been one of my best pals ever since we were little. Sports brought us together initially, but now I’d say it’s mostly silly jokes, crafts and celebrity gossip that steal our hearts. She’s an OG Soup Sunday gal and my favorite person to get creative with. Her love language is definitely NOT hugs, but her friendship and loyalty make up for it tenfold. I love you Vanessa, thank you for always looking out for my heart.

Danny and I met in college when he came over to join a fantasy football league. I knew when he drafted 4 different Browns players that I would always be able to laugh at him. Danny and I roomed together for 3 years at UD, and to be honest I am still waiting for the University to give me a thank you for making sure no one else had to. In all seriousness, Danny and I have had countless heart to hearts, and a man I look up to in more ways than one. I love you Danny, thanks for being a standup guy.

Another person that’s been in my life since before I was born! Melissa is my lovely, supportive cousin. As a baby, Melissa was the only person I’d ever let hold me at family functions without crying! We grew up with a dream of being fashion girls together — that hasn’t quite played out for either of us yet, but there’s still time! I love you Melis, thanks for always being someone I can look up to.

I have the pleasure of adding George to my family as a brother-in-law. George, since the day I met him, has been very welcoming and kind. You would meet George and instantly know he hails from Pittsburgh just on his accent. George and I have shared great memories with the Owens family on vacation, or venturing Pittsburgh, and I am sure there are many more memories to come. I love you George thank you for being you.

Ashley and I's story starts in Sheehy Hall where we lived at UD freshmen year. Ashley was (and still is) WAY cooler than me, but I was determined to make her my friend! Ashley is one of those people that when she loves you, she LOVES you! You can feel her love and warmth radiating! When she’s not moving mountains for others, she’s climbing them herself! She also has the most beautiful way with words. I love you Ash, thanks for always helping me see the beauty in life.

Zach and I have attended every school together - OLMC, Guerin, and UD. Zach is responsible for so many core memories of my life. Zach is the only one I can always count on to share both a glass of milk with, and a Budweiser. Zach's only flaw is not being able to score a PK with me in goal, though he carried me to consecutive state championships. Zach is the definition of a loyal friend, and a guaranteed good time. I love you Zach, thank you for always being there.

Kasey danced into my life as a roommate when I moved back to Pittsburgh. Living life together on the third floor really brought us close. Kasey lives her life for the kids, teaching a bunch of high schoolers daily - safe to say she's not afraid to take hits and let them roll right off! In her spare time you can find her reading every book ever written and being the first to join in on any bit! She has one of the sweetest souls of anyone I’ve ever met! I love you Kasey, thank you for always being one of my favorite people to laugh with.

Adam and I have been friends since the 90's. I still have his home phone number memorized, as I would call it just about every day to have him meet me at the neighborhood swimming pool. Adam and I have lived our lives together - OLMC to Guerin to Dayton to Indianapolis to now being my landlord. Usually if Adam is somewhere, so am I, and for good reason: Adam is as good as they come. I love you Adam, thank you for a lifelong friendship.

Kylie and I met on New Year’s Eve of 2020! While everyone was busy doing keg stands, we were busy doing handstands! It was love at first upside down eye lock. Now, my current roommate, we enjoy raising the roof, kitchen chats, and double date nights! If you’re ever looking for Kylie you’ll likely find her saving someone’s life or making someone’s day with her genuine kindness and incredible life skills! I love you Kylie, thank you for being a loyal friend I know I can count on.

Max and I kindled our friendship in high school. Immediately upon the pleasure of meeting Max, I knew he was a clown. Max is known for being a complete goofball and also being incredibly intelligent - very little time spent in between. Max and I grew our friendship while being fraternity brothers at UD. My advice to you is look for Max if you're looking to laugh with somebody, he is very comfortable in his own skin. I love you Max, thank you for always browsing dank memes.

Maggie is the most impressive, smartest, most poised silly goose I have ever met! There is not one pair of pants she owns that aren’t fancy. While her pants lift her up, she's busy lifting everyone else up! Her love language can be defined as broadway musicals and she's always ready to sing and dance her way into any room. Mags is the kind of friend you want in your corner, because once she's there, she's not going anywhere! I love you Maggie, thank you for always making me feel like I can do and be anything in this world.

Cameron and I have been friends since he decided not to live with Danny and I sophomore year at UD. He later changed his mind and was a roommate of two very memorable years. While you may think a shift from 8:30pm-12am Thursday night at ArtStreet may be horrible, when it's paired with Cameron's joke and a butt-sandwich, its not too bad. Cameron will bring out the funny side in anyone, and is a pleasure to joke with. I love you Cameron, thank you for always making us laugh.

Similar to my relationship with Peter, Anna and I fell into best friendship slinging paninis at Artstreet Cafe together! I loved her SO much that after graduation I followed her to Chicago so I could continue to be her roommate! Her happy place is at any karaoke bar with a bud light in hand as her microphone. Anna is first in line to show up for a good time and quick to make you feel loved whether she just met you that night or has known you for a decade. I love you Anna, thanks for always showing up.

Tom and I have been friends since the days of OLMC - usually trying to make each other laugh in moments we were supposed to be quiet. Tom is a level of cool that I can only hope to reach. From his determination of achieving amazing fitness feats, to living in Colorado, now Minnesota, to starting a beautiful family with his incredible wife, Tom is a guy I am lucky to have befriended. I love you Tom, thank you for being a lifelong friend.

Lauren started as a work friend, but after about a day and a half on the job, she became a best friend! She's the kind of friend that you swear has been by your side for a lifetime. You can find her in the kitchen baking your favorite sweet treat. She is the greatest hype woman and will drop anything and everything to be there for you in an instant. I love you Meisy, thank you for being the shoulder that I always need to lean on.

Tom and I go way back to literal day 1. The myth goes that he along with the rest of my siblings were disappointed the day I was born when they got a little brother instead of a monkey. Tom has always been someone to make others laugh. He is known for his quick, witty, (dumb) jokes, along with his very impressive impersonations. Tom is responsible for my love for Colts football, all things Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and our cutest niece, Juliette! I love you Tom, thank you for being an amazing big brother.

Sarah is the epitome of a silly goose! She loves all things teeny tiny and cute. Her creativity and her kindness are constantly flowing. She’s so good at art that it just so happens to be her job! When she’s not teaching K-8th grade students the joys of art, you’ll likely find her buying another new plant to fill her home! I love you Sarah, thank you for accepting me.

Carlie and I had the pleasure of being roommates both junior and senior year of college. This led to many hours of trying on every outfit combination of clothes in our closets, silly late night chats and dreams of how we could rearrange our room to best utilize our hang out space. She is the quickest yes gal to jump on board with your craziest ideas. I love you Carlie, thank you for making life more colorful.
