My sister and best friend, Stephanie is a band director in the Forth Worth area, and shares my loves of flute, fashion, and food (the three essential F's, if you're asking). I was her maid of honor when she got married almost 6 years ago, and I'm so excited that she now gets to stand next to me! Bonus picture that includes her husband, Simon, who is officiating one of our ceremonies!

Christine was one of my first friends at Baylor because we were suitemates in the dorm! We have many memories staying up late just talking, and of course going on late-night Sonic runs for milkshakes. She now has a beautiful family of her own and teaches violin in the Dallas area!

Sam's sister and someone I can't wait to call family too (though it already feels like she is)! Sasha is finishing up at Baylor and heading to dental school in Arizona next fall.

My roommate for 2 years in Waco and a lovely oboist who is about to head to Colorado for more oboe studies! Brittany has seen me at my worst and stuck around for it, so she's a keeper for sure. :)

Liz and I have shared so many adventures, it's hard to keep track! We've been travel buddies more than a few times and she still likes me ;) Liz lives in Houston, managing an underprivileged housing development.

My little sister in Mu Phi and fellow flutist, but more importantly, a sweet and amazing friend, who has always added lots of laughter to my life! Ashley lives with her husband in the Dallas area and teaches band.

My childhood best friend, going on over 15 years of knowing each other! Emily is endlessly supportive and hilarious, and now lives with her husband in Odessa, working as an accountant!

Another flutist and recent Bostonian as well! Sarah has been a rock of a friend for years and I've been so glad to get to spend time with her this year since she began a new job with the Boston Symphony Orchestra's education department!
