Ali is Chris's younger sister, she's full of energy when she wants to be, can be loud and out spoken in the best way and has been there for me over these past few years. We didn't always get along as well as we do now because she was and still is so protective of Chris but I am so glad we have gotten close and developed a sister like bond. I think she has finally relaxed around me a little because she keeps asking if I'm sure I want to marry Chris and I always say Yes he's good for a good laugh lol but in all seriousness I really do love him and I can't imagine what life would be like without him. Chris and Ali share a almost twin like bond, they finish each others sentences and know what the other is thinking or feeling most of the time anyway.

Jordie is my best friend from high school I don't really remember how we met but I do know that through all the ups and down life has thrown at us we have stayed friends. I can't imagine my life without her, she's funny and kind and doesn't care what people think. Chris and Jordan have been friends since highschool and met through the group of friends we had. Over the past few years we have been able to be there for each other through everything life and the world has thrown at us

Amanda is my oldest sister and we have grown up together quite literally as there is about a 16yr age difference. It has been fun and challenging in terms of not always getting to see her as often as either one of us would have liked when I was little because she lived in Toronto and over the past few years because of the state of the world however despite all that we are really close. She's fun and funny, kind hearted and determined I couldn't imagine a better big sister.

Chris' best friend and my friend from high school, we were all on the chess club together. He has stayed friends with us all these years, put up with Chris while at work (they worked together) I think he's only stuck around us this long because of Ali and the fact that he is now related to Chris (Bailey married his best friends little sister, I know!) He is a great guy who cares about the people he loves, works very hard and is fun to be around.

Chris' grandpa and who is one of the funniest people we know, he likes to pull everyone's leg and give them a good laugh. he can be serious when it is needed. He helped my sister and I experience new and exciting adventures as we grew up and has been there for us for our band concerts and graduations.

Chris' dad although a stepdad is more of a father figure then my birth father. he's been a big role model to me in more ways then one, especially being accident prone lol. He spent a lot of his time with sis and i as we grew up from playing ball with us in the summer to throwing snowballs at us in the winter.

My mom is the greatest role model I ever could have asked for. She has shown me time and time again how to get up after you fall and to keep pushing to chase your dreams. She pours love and kindness into everything she does and everyone she meets. She has taught me a lot about life and about myself I couldn't be more proud to call her my mom. She has stood by me through my years of college pouring herself into my textbooks just to try and help me you will never find another person like her.

My dad is one of the greatest, hard working determined and driven people I know. He gives everything he has to those he loves. He never stops and always work hard but still makes time for those he loves and will do anything to help those around him. He is my greatest hero and has shown me what a great role model is. He taught me how to build, fix anything, do anything and be anything I want to be. I am truly very proud to call him my dad with all of his and my moms love and support I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

Ma has also been a huge influence on my life, she was a single mother looking after sis and I till she found dad, but she showed us that to be strong and independent person and to look out for ourselves. She's been there for us through thick and thin and has helped us overcome many problems, especially stupid math, ugh. She's the person you always want on your side when the going gets tough or when someone needs a butt whopping (aka future grandkids).
