Carissa's mom and best friend. Affectionately nicknamed "Granny", Maria and Carissa have always had the closest bond. Even though Maria drives Carissa crazy with her tie-dye crocs and bargain hunting, we can't fault her because she is the most loving and supportive mom a girl could ask for!

Maddie and Carissa are still BEST friends, 28 years after meeting in kindergarten. From a young age, Carissa and Maddie wanted to discover how to breed lobsters- they knew that was a big money opportunity. Sadly, they couldn't figure it out and they both became pharmacists. There's still hope that they'll be coworkers someday!

Erin and Carissa are always up to something! After becoming close in high school, they have been inseparable ever since. Erin is the best listener and Carissa's go-to-gal for all of life's craziness. From Fenway Park to Florida, they have had countless life experiences together!

Danielle and Carissa became fast friends in college and were teammates on the WNE swim team! They were always nervous before races and would listen to music together to keep the energy high! Carissa and Danielle have grown even closer post-college and love that Craig and Alex have become such great friends too!

Carissa and Christine lived across the hall from each other freshman year of college and were "lane buddies" on the WNE swim team! Christine is always down for a good time and brings the best energy. She is truly living her best life, always traveling, socializing, and spending time with her family. Carissa always says Christine has the sweetest soul and feels lucky to have such a great friend.

Laura is Carissa's #1 adventure pal! They became friends in middle school, but in their adult years, have really bonded over doing outdoorsy things together! Laura is an inspiration on the ski slopes, conquering black diamonds left and right. She's a fearless hiking partner and the best person to camp with (she always brings the s'mores supplies)!

Carissa and Megan met in college, despite never having a class together. Besides being friendly at parties on the weekends, they didn't really know each other that well but for some reason, when Carissa was looking for additional roommates, Megan was the first person she thought of. They moved in together and Megan was the BEST roommate. One night she'd be force feeding Carissa Jagermeister and the next she'd cook a full family dinner. Megan is one of a kind!

Carissa and Jeana became friends sophomore year of college. Throughout their 6 years at WNE, the two spent countless hours studying together and trying to laugh through the pain of balancing school, playing college sports, and having a social life. They may not have prioritized appropriately at times, but they had the most fun together! Jeana is still the life of the party and can make you laugh like no other!

Big brother and role model. The one responsible for Alex's hobbies and interests (good and bad). Park City local for 10+ years but still a Rhode Islander at heart.

Film guru turned high school teacher shaping young minds in Florida. Connor was always down to play some madden, throw a quick frisbee, or crush a buff chic calzone in the basement. MWHC member and the first one to get it tatted.

Moved in directly across the street from Alex the summer before kindergarten and were best friends from the start. MWHC member and keeper of the keys to the attic.

Former roommates and annual ski trip buddies out to Utah together. Responsible for nights on the patio with his dad Jim Jam making double che's for the boys. The business mogul of the MWHC, check out Zack's place, Buoy and Trap Seafood if you ever find yourself in the Lake Tahoe area.

The least judgmental person you'll ever meet. The young and wild one of Alex's Air Force buddies. Now a father and husband down in Louisiana. Always can count of Ryan for a random facetime to check in and see how everyone is doing.

With similar stories of how they ended up in the Air Force, David and Alex became fast friends when meeting at their first base in-processing meetings. David being a huge USC Gamecocks guy and both having a shared love for Stephen Garcia, this friendship was meant to be.
