Karissa, my cousin, has been my best friend since birth (literally, we were born on the same day, two years apart). She has always been my partner in crime, number one supporter, and life celebrator! She is also the best listener, advice giver, and encourager. God knew I needed a Karissa in my life!

From a random roommate to one of my closest friends, Alyssa has been such a blessing in my life. She has the biggest heart and is kind to everyone around her! I adore how she "dances" through life with grace and love for the Lord. I have also always loved our long conversations and coffee together.

A middle school friend, college roommate, and the best tennis doubles partner, Jada has always been around in my life. She is probably the most hilarious person I know, I can't help but smile whenever i'm around her. She radiates joy and sunshine wherever she goes!

One of the first people I met at college, Annelise has been by my side throughout. She is one of the most selfless and kind people I know. These college years she has always given me a helping hand and encouraged me through it all! Annelise also is also the best baker so I have enjoyed her tasty treats!

Haley has been one of the longest friendships i've had, dating all the way back to middle school! Over the years we have shared many laughs and memories that i'll always cherish. I admire her fun-loving, adventurous spirit. I always know it'll be a good time whenever i'm with her!

Another one of my closest college friends, Hailey has been such a light in my life. She always goes the extra mile to show others that she cares for them. Whenever i'm with Hailey she always makes sure to cheer me up! I always love our Target runs and Crumbl dates!

Lastly Makayla, Ryan's little sister, has been a sweet addition to my life. She has become the sister I never got growing up. From the moment I met her she has been nothing but kindhearted and friendly to me. It also has been such a joy to watch her grow up over the past couple of years. I'm beyond grateful to gain a sister like her!
