Morgan is my older sister and my longest friendship. She is my best friend and role model. She is the most honest and caring person I know. She tells me the truth even when it's something I don't want to hear. We have been through some of our most difficult moments together without realizing it. Morgan is always someone I can look to for advice without judgement. Morgan has never faulted me for my bad decisions, just loved me through them. I am so thankful to have her in my life.

Michael and I have been friends since freshman year of high school. While at first we weren't giant fans of each other, by the end of the year he was my best friend. He has seen me through some terrible times and relationships. Though our relationship has had its ups and downs, he has been a constant in my life when I've needed it the most.

Juliette and I were introduced through a mutual friend in high school. Juliette, Michael, and I became inseparable throughout high school. Juliette makes everyone around her laugh. She has a way of being so honest and loyal, you can't help but love her. She has also seen me through some terrible relationships and bad decisions. I love that she accepts me for who I am and I have learned to never accept anything less.

Malarie is my baby sister. I remember learning that I would be a big sister for a second time and being so overjoyed. I was extremely protective of Malarie as she grew up. I wanted her to have everything I didn't and then some. Malarie is so smart and talented. I have watched her turn into a strong, independent, young woman who is very passionate about everything that she puts her mind to. Life has dealt her her own set of challenges. She has faced them head-on and has come out even stronger. I am so proud to be her big sister and her friend.

Riley is my best friend and easily one of the funniest people you will ever meet. Riley and I met while we worked at Target and he literally forced me to be friends with him and I'm grateful for that every day. He has pushed me to grow into a better person in all parts of my life. Whether I need advice, someone to call me out, or just a laugh, I always know that Riley will be there.

Drew and I met a few years ago through TikTok and quickly became friends. We didn't even hang out for the first time in person for years after we became friends but our shared experiences allowed our friendship to grow through texts and FaceTime calls. Drew is the kind of person who you can go to and know there will never be a second of judgement. Drew is not only one of my best friends, he's family to me and I'm thankful to have someone like him in my life.

Amanda is the definition of what it means to be a true friend. They have seen me through some of the hardest moments in my life and has remained by my side even when I didn't deserve it. Whether it's been minutes, days, weeks, or months since the last time we've talked, I always know that they will be there to answer my call. I feel incredibly lucky to have a friend like them in my life and even more lucky that they will be by my side for me and Cheyennes day.

Brittany is my big sister (even though I'm taller than her in shoes). Like all siblings we have had our share of bickering and fights but at the end of the day there is no one else that I know will have my back the way that she does. Brittany is the person I know I can go to and no matter what will love me just the same. Im very thankful to have a big sister like her in my life and by my side.
