Makayla and Brooke became best friends at a sleepover in 8th grade and bonded immediately over their shared sense of humor. They quite literally haven't stopped laughing since and couldn't be closer after 12 years of friendship. They spent Friday nights in high school on the sidelines cheering on the Hornets together and spent hours on FaceTime during college to keep each other in the loop long distance. Their friendship has extended to the next generation with Brooke being the godmother to Makayla's daughter, Collins Brooke Heffron.

Lainie has always been Brooke's number one role model in life. Lainie was beyond gracious and never let on if it annoyed her when Brooke decided to get the same car as her... twice. OR when Brooke moved to the same city as her post-grad. OR when Brooke borrowed her clothes without permission a million times. Lainie and Brooke have a special bond as sisters and consider each other best friends and close confidants. They are incredibly similar but also polar opposites, and this mix somehow creates the most fun dynamic for the two of them.

Being only two years apart as cousins meant that Brooke and Jordan were a pair at every Fritz family event. Their Grandma Marie always got them matching Christmas gifts so the two loved rocking their Macy's outfits in tandem. The matching outfits haven't really stopped since seeing as Brooke raids Jordan's closet any chance she gets. Whether it's a concert, laying out on the beach, singing karaoke, or traveling across the country to visit each other, these two always have an amazing time.

While Brooke and Luke are cousins, first and foremost they are Swifties together. You can find them ranking Taylor Swift albums, raving about Sonic, singing way louder than anyone wants them to, and making up dances to Ke$ha songs. You wouldn't think that people this fun and exciting are also accountants - but they both are! Brooke couldn't be more grateful for the bond they share and feels so lucky to have another CPA in the family to answer people's tax questions.

Brooke and Rachel met during the first week of college when Brooke bravely walked into a dorm full of girls singing Cheetah Girls and asked (while wearing only a towel wrap) "can I join y'all?" Rachel thought the girl in the towel wrap was slightly insane but respected the confidence and the two became best friends. During college they attended football games together, shared more than a few drinks in downtown Athens, Spring Break'ed with their moms at Disney world, and ate Cookout cheese fries any chance they had. They now enjoy visiting each other in their respective cities and never missing a beat!

Rebecca immediately won Brooke over as a sister-in-law through her humor, off the wall comments, and shared love of making fun of Brooke's brother, Wes. Rebecca was put to the test on many family vacations and survived the infamous Fritz Sister Fight of 2018 in Destin, Florida. Luckily she stuck around after seeing how crazy we are and continues to make us all laugh. Rebecca and Brooke love comparing their recent book finds and discussing their favorite show, Suits. Brooke is absolutely smitten with her adorable nephew, Grant William Fritz, and can only hope he turns out as hilarious as his mama is!

Born on the same day exactly a year apart, Noah and Mark have had things in common since the day they were born. The two have been best friends, and brothers, for as long as they can remember. They bond over everything; lame accounting jokes, one-liners from The Office, and obscure references to the same sports podcasts they listen to.

Gavin and Mark have seen just about every season of life together. From 6th grade acquaintances to college roommates, the two have grown over the years and seen each other at all the highs-and-lows. A third-party would find it difficult to follow their conversations as they convey everything through inside jokes and oddly-specific bits.

Steve and Mark met at A&M and instantly hit it off. The easy-going duo never have a bad time together and bond over their mutual affinity for college football, sports gambling, and all things TAMU. In Mark's 5th year in college, he ended up on Steven's couch watching Arrested Development most nights after Mark and Steven's girlfriend Kelsey, studied for the CPA all day.

Elliott and Mark's friendship began as a friendly rivalry in 7th grade track. The two have spent countless hours talking about everything and nothing over long-distance runs, video gaming late at night, and playing a ridiculous amount of basketball at LA fitness in college. It's a shame they never started a podcast because they can fire off some takes when they get going.

Mark's big brother Chris, 12 years his senior, has always been one of his biggest role models. He instilled Mark's love of Texas A&M when he was just 5 years old, and in a way inspired Mark's career path by introducing him to the PPA program at A&M. The two bond over their love of the Dallas Cowboys, TAMU, and most things outdoorsy. One of Mark's greatest joys is getting to spend time with Chris's two daughters, Kenzie and Maddie.

Mark and Wes have a lot in common as future brother-in-laws. Both love talking football, fishing, and The Office. Brooke knew the two would get along well with their easy going personalities and sharp senses of humor. On their recent family vacation, the two spent hours fishing and enjoying the peace and quiet (they don't get much between Brooke and Rebecca). While Mark loves spending time with the talkative Fritz ladies, he is thankful to have a brother-in-law to hang out with and look up to.

Josh and Mark go way back to their days together in middle school. The two can spend hours cutting it up over absolutely anything and are always up for a good time, though they often have different threshholds of "fun." When the two get together, you wouldn't be able to tell that they're in their mid-twenties, as it sounds like two old middle school friends going at it.

Collins is the happiest baby you will ever meet and has her Aunt Brooke and Uncle Mark completely wrapped around her finger. She loves to play peek-a-boo and keeps everyone around her laughing. Brooke couldn't be more honored to be her godmother!

Kenzie is the sweetest, most inquisitive 3rd grader there is. She loves dance, being outdoors with her family, planning parties, and rock climbing! She makes comments that are wise beyond her years and is always looking out for her little sister.

Maddie is a ball of joy and fun! She is always dancing or singing to the beat of her own drum. She loves spending time with her family, dancing, doing arts and crafts, swimming, and cracks everyone up with her animated facial expressions!

Grant will steal your heart once you stare into those big blue eyes! He has brought so much joy and love into the Fritz family and everyone is completely taken with him. He loves to smile, take long baths, and cheer on the Coogs!
