Ashley’s big little sister... The mother to my very first nephew. The sister who was born to be a wife and a mother. She's currently learning all she can about gardening, and she's harvesting so many vegetables. Once she sets her mind on something, she does whatever it takes to accomplish it. That is where I think we are very much alike.

Ashley’s youngest younger sister... Sometimes I call her my baby sister still. But she isn't even a baby anymore. She's grown into a beautiful young woman, and I'm so excited to spend my day with her. She loves to travel and has spent anywhere from 6 weeks to a year in various places in Europe. She's also learned about 3-4 different languages and wants to be fluent in as many as possible.

Kayla and I have been friends since we were 10 or 11. Honestly, I have lost track it has been so long. We have been through a lot together and know that no matter what we will be there in the drop of a hat if the other needs.

Gabrielle and I have been friends since Jr High. In High School, her family moved from Texas to Idaho. Through the years we have remained long-distance best friends. We try our best to see each other at least once a year by picking a destination and taking a trip there together.

I met Meagan in bible school in 2010. We bonded on a trip to Oklahoma where Meagan shared an earbud with me so we both could listen to music. Since graduating we have continued to share our love for music and dancing by going 2 stepping and (briefly) joining a dance team. Meagan now lives in Boston with her husband, and we have both made a great effort to stay in contact.

Elizabeth has been in my life since I was 15. I served under her on my High School worship team. I interned under her in my third year of bible school in college. I even babysat for her children a handful of times. After being apart and losing touch for a few years we came back into each other's lives through our church. That is when I really started calling her my mentor and even through that we became such good friends!

Nicole and I met at church back in 2016. Our friendship grew over coffee, breakfast, lunch, and dinner dates, nights out in the city, and the occasional workout at the gym. You know someone is going to be a great friend when they put in just as much effort to keep the friendship alive as you do. That's how it has always been with ours.
