Ethan and Nick met in 5th grade and been best friends ever since! We've had many years full of countless memories but one that comes to mind is when we decided to hike from Mt. Tabor to downtown Portland thinking it would be quick and easy (it took five hours to get there and back).

Mackie and Maddy met when they were only 2 years old and have been best friends since 2nd grade! Although we have countless memories growing up in California together, one of Mackie's favorite memory of them so far has been being Maddy's maid of honor at her wedding 2 summers ago.

Ethan and Coi met through their church, The Story, where he lead the college group with his wife Halyn! Some of their favorite memories are, going on early-morning breakfast runs to McDonald's, attempting 5 mile runs, and going on excursions with other friends from the group.

Halyn and Mackie met through their church, The Story, where her and her husband, Coi, are the leaders of the College Group! Some of their favorite memories are, thrifting together, and adventures and retreats with our friends from the group!

Aaron and Ethan met through the college group at The Story as well. Our favorite memories together have been hanging out and playing games with friends, watching bachelor(ette) with friends, spending the evenings with Mackie and Sydney, and having a sleepover after he got stuck in Ashland during the snowstorm this year!

Sydney and Mackie also met through College Group and have been roommates this year! Our favorite memories were made exploring Ashland and Lithia Creek last summer. Countless other memories have been made sharing our apartment, like making dinners together, hosting bachelor/ette watch parties, and doing home projects with the boys!

Isaias and Ethan met through the college group at The Story as well and became friends pretty quickly. We've had many great memories together but my favorite memories have to be spending Thanksgiving together for our junior year, him helping me move out of my apartment, and watching him and his wife Bella fall in love when they would give me rides home from college group.

Anna and Mackie met through SOU and the Story! Some of their favorite pastimes include shopping at TJMaxx, watching movies together, and playing with Anna's cats, Fig and Turmeric.

Zack and Ethan met during the second annual college group retreat through The Story but became closer friends after the retreat over Easter. Some of our favorite past times are watching the bachelor(ette) with friends and also playing games with one another. My favorite memory though has to be when we went to the beach with Mackie and Sydney and spent the day down there climbing on the rocks.

Mackie and Tay met when they went to high school together in Idaho! Some favorite memories include, cheerleading together, choir trips, and seeing Taylor Swift's Eras Tour last summer!

Nicole is Mackie's older sister! Some of Mackie's favorite memories with her were made shopping and wrapping christmas presents with their mom and playing with all of our kitties together!

Kyra is Ethan's younger sister! Mackie has loved exploring Portland with Kyra and the Blairs over summers, Christmas's, and spring breaks! It's been so sweet for Mackie to get to know Kyra and see her close bond with her big brother.
