Our Story

Photos

 Alexis and Katy are each others oldest friends, having met as babies at a home daycare. The two have gone from searching for fairies and hosting tea parties to standing next to each other at their weddings. Ask Katy about her black belt in to-shin-do and why Mr. Darcy’s hand-flex in Pride and Prejudice is so great.

Another life-long friend, having met in church nursery. Despite only dancing at the same studio together for three years, Emma and Alexis have a decently size list of duos that they performed at church and later duos performed for dance recitals and competitions. This is Emma‘s summer break so don’t ask her about school, but she’s always happy to talk about her cats!

Alyssa and Alexis we’re in the same homeroom throughout high school. After the first two days of school, Alexis realized they had practically the same schedule so she asked Alyssa if they could be friends. From watching rom-coms to propagating plants and finishing her masters while teaching full-time, Alyssa stays pretty busy. Be sure to ask Alyssa about the Swiss cheese plant she rescued from Alexis’.

Alexis and Megan were encouraged to become friends by mutual coworkers as they both grew up dancing. Even though their dance experiences are entirely different, they became fast friends at Brenen’s Coffee Cafe. The two frequently would take road trips to historical sites and love to watch some cheaply made horror films while eating Big Mamas Burritos. Another one of Alexis’ friends who is currently on their summer break, ask Megan about the half marathon she’s training for and why OU is the best campus there is.

Having met when Alexis joined Joey’s CrossFit gym when she had moved back to Dayton, they became “ gym, besties” after being partnered for bench press. Alexis and Joey love to do partner competitions with one another, attend Girls Gotta Eat live shows, and of course go out for some shots. Joey has some strong opinions about cars; specifically Mustangs and Broncos, and is a Lululemon aficionado, if you’re looking for any recommendations.

Originally meeting when Alexis changed dance studios in 9th grade, they reconnected over ACOTAR (iykyk) when Alexis was looking for a roommate. Carissa’s move into Alexis’ house coincided with Josh and Alexis starting to date, allowing Josh to quickly become the third roommate. Feel free to ask Carissa about her record collection and getting ready for her third year of law school.
