Emma & I met in elementary school and became fast friends when we spent every morning and afternoon walking to & from middle school together. Growing up as neighbors meant we became almost like sisters throughout the last decade! I am grateful for the way she pushes me to place my reliance on the Lord.

Claire & I met freshman year of high school at summer band camp and quickly became attached at the hip! Despite choosing to go to rival SEC universities, we have stayed very close over the years. Claire never fails to make me laugh and is a steadfast friend through many seasons that challenges me to look more like Christ!

Olivia & I met freshman year at Texas A&M University and we became besties after trauma bonding our way through our 8am chemistry class. Olivia has been a faithful friend to me and always reminded me of what it looks like to live with the joy of the Lord!

Skylar served as my Impact Ministry prayer teamer during our sophomore year at Texas A&M but our friendship blossomed when we became neighbors and the best of study partners. I am grateful for the way Skylar has been a true prayer warrior to me!

Kemper & I served as co-chairs together in Impact at Texas A&M. Kemper is incredibly wise and a true woman of the Word and is never afraid to ask hard questions. I am so blessed by the way she encourages me even from states away!

Angela & I also served a co-chairs together in Impact at Texas A&M. We quickly found out we shared the same major which made anatomy lab 10x better! Angela pursues friends wholeheartedly and I know Jesus so much deeper because of her friendship!

Ryan and I met at Watermark Community Church 3 years ago! He is a faithful friend who is fiercely devoted to caring for others, and I've been fortunate enough to walk with him as a close friend and to serve with him at our church's kids ministry. Ryan will light up any room that he is in, and if you know him well, you'll know he has this unforgettable laugh that will never fail to bring a sense of joy. I'm grateful to call Ryan my best man and for all the ways God has used him in my life!

Seth and I are community group brothers, and I've been so grateful to have him as a close and trusted friend these last few years. Seth is a gentle yet confident man who has been such a great source of wisdom and counsel over the years of knowing him. He has such a thirst for knowing more of God, and that precipitates into the countless ways he encourages me and so many others to grow in our own walks.

Alaric is a sweet friend and has been such a blessing to have community with! From morning runs around White Rock Lake to evening dinners at our favorite Japanese restaurants, I have grown to know the Lord more because of our time together. I am so grateful for his intentionality and the encouragement that has come from us doing life together!

Weston is an incredibly gifted and talented engineer, and he is so intensely passionate about what does! He loves to solve problems and has such a uniquely inquisitive mind, and we've both been happy to derail our conversations with family with technical ideations. I'm grateful for his friendship, and even more grateful for the opportunity to call him my brother-in-law!
