My brand new sister! And I could not be more excited. Lauren has already been such a joy and light in my family and I cannot wait for this summer full of celebrating!!! Lauren and Chew forever! I LOVE LAUREN!

Josie and I have been besties since KINDERGARTEN! Since then we have gone through life together all the way through being roommates in grad school! She is loyal and funny and smart and kind, and I can't imagine life without her! (Also she can beat you at any sport). I LOVE JOSIE!

My little friend! I'll never forget the day we became friends- it was October 6th, 2021- best day ever. Since then, she has been my walking buddy and laughing buddy. She loves birds and she gives the best advice. It is a true blessing to know and love her. I LOVE ANNA GRACE!

I met Tessa at Camp Hunt in 2021. Since the beginning, we have both known the silliest sides of each other! I wish everyone could have a friend like Tessa. She would be your biggest cheerleader! She is the best listener and a terrible story teller. I LOVE TESSA!

This is my friend Regan. She is the best. You can always catch her wearing overalls on a Wednesday and brightening everyone's day. She inspires me to enjoy every little blessing and see God in all of it. I LOVE REGAN!

Kaleigh makes me laugh probably 1 million times a day on average. She also makes OT school 1 million times better. Kaleigh is a natural encourager and loves her friends so well. I LOVE KALEIGH!

Things I love to do with Kristin: win cooking competitions together, play pickleball, binge watch Stranger Things, and laugh laugh laugh! I look up to Kristin a lot and I am beyond thankful to have her in my corner. She also takes the best "silly pictures". I LOVE KRISTIN!

Colin and I met in the hospital I imagine. I do not remember it too well. We survived lots of fighting each other and have learned to get along these days. Colin can tell stories that make you laugh and roll your eyes. He is my go-to advisor on current trends and he keeps me sane on family vacations.

I met Grant when I introduced myself as Peter at HUG. He was supposed to be my roommate but switched rooms to be with someone he knew. He later regretted his decision and decided to live with me all of senior year. The End Portal brought memories with Taco Bell and the Outdoor Boys like no other. Grant has become my partner in crime, travel buddy, and duo partner.

Spencer and I met at Harding through DGR and BOX. He has been one of my biggest mentors and is like an older brother to me. We have played lots of pickleball and will continue to do so as Spencer is still looking to win his first game. Spencer loves his friends like family and it has been a blessing to experience that.

Joe and I met at church through the youth group. Joe has always been my go to guy for spiritual advice as he models Christ so well. I have become an expert at pushing Joe's buttons. I am grateful for Joe's patience and forgiveness.

Dalton and I met at Harding as he was my "big" in BOX. He quickly became one of my best friends and we spent almost every day together. My favorite lab I had at Harding was anatomy II with Professor Kidder. Dalton has jokes like no other and can rap so well it will knock your socks off.

Marc and I met at Harding through DGR and then worked together for several years at Camp Deer Run. Marc has been like an older brother to me and I know I have annoyed him like a younger brother. We can put down a pack of Sweets faster than anyone you know. Marc has been an example of a Christian man, leader, and genuine friend in my life.

David and I met in Harbin Hall freshman year at Harding. We joined BOX together and have been adventuring ever since. From Colorado to Chicago there is no one I would rather have drive me across the country. I am thankful for his example of service and leadership.

Easton and I met out in the woods at Camp Deer Run. We quickly became best buds and ended up running the place the next two years! Easton has been a source of wisdom and a shoulder to lean on since I have known him.

Tyler and I met through science classes at Harding. He always has a question to spark conversation which was nice to keep me awake in class. Tyler and Anna Grace, and their families, have been people Emilie and I have been blessed to look to as examples. Especially when figuring out how NOT to play spikeball.

Tucker and I met abroad on our HUG trip. We really grew close these past couple years at dental school together. I would not be in dental school right now if it was not for Tucker waking me up for class. He has been a friend to confide in, a Christian example, and an excellent informant on all things Grizzlies.

Nate and I met at Valley View. Alongside Eli we did most everything together. Nate was the gracious host for our go kart project. We had many bonfires and game nights at the Mullen household. Nate is my go-to work partner and someone I know I can call to get a job done right.

Ethan and I met on our semester abroad together in Greece. We clicked right away and quickly got to annihilating social club barriers. Ethan is hilarious and the best storyteller you will meet. I am grateful for his fresh perspective and wisdom.

Eli and I met in school at Valley View. We had lots of classes together and played lots of video games. We infamously created a shopping cart go kart in the midst of our cancelled senior year. Eli is witty, a great source of tech advice, and your go to guy if you need a presentation on Dante's Inferno.

Will and I met at HUG. We got to cooking bacon for everyone right away and the rest is history. From the 10 B's to DGR events, I have so many memories with Will by my side. Will has been a down-to-earth guy that exemplifies the joy of the Lord.
