Brittany and I met in the first grade at St. James. I couldn't stand her, but isn't that how the best relationships start? I couldn't find a better friend than Britt so I had to accept sharing her with my sister. There's not anything we haven't done together. We spent almost everyday as kids going to the movies, skating or just walking around town. You can hear her laugh from a mile a way. I love our days playing softball, playing cards going to concerts. I couldn't ask for a better friend to share these experiences with.

Candi and I met through mutual friends eighteen years ago. We have had some crazy times, like running and falling down stairs. But that would take to long to type all the exiting adventures we shared. Candi and I have been to many concerts and road trips. Candi's laugh and smile brings joy to everyone she meets.

Allyssa is my cousin. There's so much I can say about Allyssa that it would take to long to write. She is always there for me when I need her and if she is busy she will always make time form me. She is amazing friend and I love hanging out with her at the Royals games. Even if she wouldn't warn me if a ball is heading my way.

Dani and I met through Nick. We had only been dating a couple weeks when I met her. Nick warned me she could come off as mean sometimes, but Dani was anything but mean. She made me feel comfortable. Lake trips wouldn't be the same with out her. We would actually be lost on the lake if she was there to guide us. I have only know Dani for five years and I love hanging out with her at our super bowl parties and bonfires.

Laura (Wally) Is the most outspoken person I know. We met when I was in the eight grade, (her in 7th) at St. Patrick's elementary school. We were playing football at recess when she ran into me, head butting me. We became best friends soon after. Tons of nights going for walks and venting about our problems. Lots of softball games and tournaments. Crazy road trips were we always break down, make the best out of it and still find a way to get home.

Kendra and I met through Brittany. She is just as quiet as I am but she has a wild spontaneous side. I love hanging out with Kendra on our girls trips to the Ozarks random coffee date and paying cards together.

Jordan came into our life's unexpectedly. Her big blue eyes and contagious smile will brighten anyone's day. She is our God given solace. Concerts and softball wouldn't be the same if Jordan wasn't there. We have been on a few trips together. The country stampede and to the Lake of the Ozarks. Our movie nights watching Hocus Pocus with tons of snacks!

Sam and I met in high school. We couldn't stand each other at first, but soon became friends. I don't think there is a memory that doesn't have Sam in it. High school parties and school football games. We have been to so many Royals and Chiefs games. Watching the supper bowl at his house. And can't for get our annual lake trips. With Sam driving the boat we are guaranteed to get lost on the lake.

Chris is my little brother. What was it like living with Chris?... I guess the best word to describe us is a tornado. One minute we are calm the the next, boom! Here comes the rain and hail. There is not a day that went by we probably didn't drive our parents crazy. One memory I have with Chris is playing tackle football in the house. He has the ball on the goal line, he snaps it, it's a run play, he takes it right up the middle where I meet him. We then collided. I spin him around and throw him to the ground when he hits his head on the door hinge.

Daniel and I met at softball. We just clicked and became friends. We played in quiet a few tournaments over the last few year even in the freezing cold. Codi will tell you we are trouble together and are not allowed to stand next to each other during the ceremony because we will be talking to much and not be paying attention.

Dan and I also met at softball. He is an amazing guy and will do anything for you. Dan loves his dog Max. There is not a softball tournament that I don't see Max with him or trying to follow him on the field.

Mark and I met through Codi. I was going to play in my first tournament with her in Chillicothe Missouri. We became friends right off because he is a broncos fan. Mark and I have many memories at softball, concerts and cook outs. Mark also has to stand down in the line at the ceremony because we will also get in trouble together. Mainly because Mark likes to make jokes and it will make me laugh.

Dale and I met at work. He over heard me talking about softball. I told him I just started playing with Codi and he asked if I wanted to play up in Olathe sometime. Dale got me started on a men's league and a coed team. We played every Tuesday, Friday and some Saturdays.

Cameron and I met at work. I don't know exactly how we became friends we just did. Cameron and I have been to many baseball games where I would usually get everyone in trouble by yelling at the player. One of my best memories with Cameron was out twelve hour road trip to Michigan. Where we ate at this really strange restaurant. We didn't get into to much trouble but we did get pulled over for speeding but he let us off with a warning.

RJ and I worked at McLane together for a short period of time, but we really connected playing softball together. Over the past few years we played mens and coed. RJ is a thoughtful and kindhearted friend.

Troy and I met met 10 years ago through my sister. He coached both of my nephews in basketball. Troy even joined us in some softball games and tournaments. He has became a great friend over the years.
