Nicole and I met in college playing basketball. After college, we lived together for 7 years! Rarely a day goes by that I don't talk to Nicole...we laugh together, cry together and everything in between. Her kids call me Aunt Erin and to me, she is family!

Michelle and I are college sorority sisters! We first connected in our sorority bible study her freshman year and have been friends ever since! From girlfriend vacations to years of game nights, she and her family are always up for a fun time!

Cara and I are college sorority sisters! She's my friend who is always up for an adventure...from pacing half marathons to hiking mountains to backpacking to golfing, we are kindred spirits of the outdoors!

Rachel and I have lived together for the past five years and are in Catholic community together! Rachel and I love to laugh, blast music, sing and dance around the house. Together, we found ways to make Covid living lots of fun. From princess tea parties, to choreographed dances to workout videos in the front lawn, there is never a dull moment with Rachel!

Melissa and I go all the WAY back to 1st grade! My longest held friendship, we've been through nearly all of life's joys and challenges together. We are the "sister" to one another that we both always wanted!

George and I are cousins, but he is more like my brother. I've known him since birth and we spent our childhood playing sports and baling hay on the family farm. After college, we both moved to Florida, and that is where our brotherhood grew deeper. He inspires me by his creativity, zeal for life, enthusiasm...and his "true grit." I so respect him, and know he always has my back. I am forever indebted to him for introducing me to the band MoFro...life changing!

Marco and I met in 2012 at a Christ Renews His Parish Retreat, one month after my conversion and return to the Catholic Church. From that moment, we quickly became brothers in Christ, journeying through all of life's highs and lows. Marco helped me discern a call to the priesthood and his two sons - our ring bearers - call me Godfather.

I met Greg and Natalie the fall of 2012. They welcomed me into their home and family, and through Greg, I witnessed what a Christ-centered husband and father looks like. My favorite moments happened with Greg and Natalie on the front porch rocking chairs - beverage in hand - praying, laughing, and helping each other with life's decisions big and small.

Rob and I also met in 2012 at the Christ Renews His Parish Retreat. What a free-spirited, deeply-in-love-with-Jesus, intellectual who is perpetually trying to manage chaos and order! I finally met someone who "gets me". Rob has truly been with me through it all: reversion to the Catholic Church, present at my dissertation defense, and supporting me in my discernment to the priesthood. Rob's utter joy for life, is best displayed during our times together at the Bradfordville Blues Club!
