Nathan is the middle of us three brothers. I grew up wanting to play basketball for our high school team like he did (he played four sports, but I didn't even try to match that). He is a very caring person & I'm glad to call him my brother.

Daniel is my oldest brother, but luckily did not bully me as a kid. He was too busy being one of the best swimmers that Corvallis, OR has ever produced. He now lives in Hawaii and can teach you how to do a killer cliff dive (or just show you himself).

Travis is a childhood friend, college buddy, road trip companion, and the only person I have ever been on a backpacking trip with. He is a tremendous person to have deep conversations with. He's in seminary currently & will do a fantastic job officiating!

Austin Green and I lived together for three years in college at Varsity House, served as VH President & Vice President together, and played countless games of one-on-one basketball (he won most of them). He's also a great hiking & road trip buddy.

Nick, Austin Green and I roomed together my last year at Varsity House and we ended up marrying two Emilys and an Ellie (who is pictured here with Nick... and me). Nick is funny, thoughtful and has a dog named Tessa that I definitely did not lose track of three times while walking her (it was twice).

Michael & I lived at Varsity House together & stayed close over the years since then. He is the goofiest person I know and can crack me up with a text more than anyone. He got married on 4th of July like a true American hero. He also owns more cats than anyone I know (5).

Sarah is my sister and my roommate of almost the last decade. People are always surprised to hear that two sisters have lived together for so long without killing each other, but honestly, it's been such a fun season of life! I'll miss her good cooking, gardening, and handyman skills, but hopefully she'll buy the house down the street and we can be neighbors!

Reagan is my first sister to get married and deserves credit for Josh and I meeting the same way she and Jesse did! She's responsible for the photos folder in my phone titled "Love Bait." She's snarky and sassy and always a good time to be around. She loves to name her pets after other types of animals and dominates the Clinton, Mississippi pickleball circuit with her husband.

Addie Grace is my youngest sister, and she joined our family at 6 months old from Guatemala. She's practically a professional bridesmaid at this point, and she hasn't even graduated college! Her tan is something of envy, and she's the baddest clarinet player of them all in the Famous Maroon Band at Mississippi State University. Everyone thinks she's the coolest Hardin.

Abby is my friend of 13 years. We met in the pref party line at the Phi Mu house during rush in college. She was standing behind me and told me I was short... and I scoffed internally at the bluntness! But then she said something along the lines of, "It's okay though. My boyfriend says guys like short girls." After that, she became my "sister"... then roommate... then best friend... then basically an honorary Hardin.

Sarah was one of my first friends in Dallas. We've traveled all over the world together from Iceland to Belize to Canada. We've been in the same Bible study for years, and her engagement party in April 2023 was the first event I brought Josh to (after knowing him for only 2 weeks!) She lives about 2 hours away from me now, but you'd never know it because we still see each other just as much!

Natalie and I met at work, but she's so much more than a work friend to me! Before she became a stay-at-home-mom to the cutest little girl, she was a part of most of my days. She was there to get the first-hand scoop when I went on my first date in 8 (!!!) years, and she was one of the first people to hear about how smitten I was with Josh. I look up to her so much as a wife, a mom, and a faithful follower of Jesus. She's one of my biggest cheerleaders in life!
