Hannah and I met in college at Bloomsburg University. We were in the same pledge class in our sorority and quickly became inseparable. Hannah is full of joy, lights up any room she walks into and will never fail to have you belly laughing. She has been through all the ups and downs with me that life offers and even though we are 800 miles away from each other that hasn't changed our friendship! I feel so blessed to have a friend like her and even more blessed to have her by my side on our special day!

Liz and I met in college at Bloomsburg University where we joined the same sorority and then became roommates shortly after that. Liz is selfless, dependable, and truly has such a big heart. I can always count on her to be real and honest in any situation as well as bringing light and fun to the party! She is one of those friends that although we may go weeks without talking, when we are together, we pick up right where we left off. I am so thankful college brought her into my life and even more thankful to have her by my side!

Danielle and I met freshman year of college, joined the same sorority our sophomore year, and were roommates. Being the only two sophomores in our pledge class we became friends pretty quick. Danielle is a nurse in PA and it fits her so well for how she cares deeply for people. Danielle is loyal, has a gentle soul and will be there for her friends in a heartbeat. She is hilarious and throws out one liners that has everyone in the room laughing. I am honored to have her as a friend and bridesmaid.

Where to begin...Amelia and I have been best friends since the 7th grade. Although we didn't go to the same high school or college, her and her family became family to me. We grew up together and watched each other go through all different phases of life. She is more than just a friend to me; she is like a sister and our friendship is one I am so thankful for. Amelia truly sees the best in people and watching her strength in becoming a mom has been so amazing to see. It is only fitting to have her daughter, Delilah, as our flower girl!

Rachel and I met in high school and then both went to Bloomsburg University. Our friendship really started freshman year as we were roommates in the dorm. Let me tell ya, being in a small, confined space, you get to know someone real fast. We still laugh at the memories we have together. We have seen each other at our best and inevitably at our worst but I am so thankful to have gone through such a huge change in life with her! Rachel has been by my side since, and I am grateful for her heart and loyalty to our friendship.

Growing up with two brothers I always wondered what it would be like to have a sister. Well, I hit the jackpot getting Abby as a sister! If anyone knows me, you know I did not like games...that quickly changed when I met Abby (the queen of board games)! In all seriousness, Abby welcomed me into her family from the start and never failed to make me feel comfortable. The way she pours into Luke and my relationship and always points us to the Lord is beyond what I could've asked for in a sister-in-law. Her character, authenticity and love for her brother, and now me, is so special.

Not only am I blessed with one new amazing "sister" but two!! It has been awesome to have Pheobe close by in Nashville as she is attending Lipscomb University and just finished up her freshman year. On top of that, we get to spend Sunday mornings together at church. Just like Abby, Pheobe welcomed me into her family from the beginning and made me feel like family right away. It is so cool to see the gifts God gave her transform through theatre and drawing. She has a gentle soul and cares so much for the people around her.

Moving to a new city is both exciting and nerve-wracking especially when you don't have any friendships already established. Thankfully, I met Jordan right away and it made the transition so much easier! Jordan and I joined Harding Academy together last year as new faculty. Jordan is the lower school counselor and when you think of a counselor you think kind, compassionate, a good listener, and selfless. That is exactly everything she embodies. Jordan quickly became one of my good friends and someone I feel like I've known for years. I am thankful for who she is and how real and honest she is with me (even if I don't want to hear it HA)!

Sara and I were both new teachers at Harding Academy. We met the first day at new hire orientation and were so excited when we found out our classrooms were right down the hall from each other. It is a bonus when you not only meet great friends in a new city, but you also get to work with them as well! Sara always has a smile on her face and finds the joy in every situation. We have both seen each other grow in our faith over the last year and to have a friend who is uplifting, encouraging, and a ray of light is something special!

Jess and I became friends freshman year of high school and then both went to Bloomsburg University. We have gone from making immature questionable decisions in high school (LOL), to having hilarious stories and memories in college, to being each other's only friends when we both moved to Delaware, to now being miles and miles away from each other. Jess has been my ride or die friend through all of it. She is like a sister to me and for that I am so thankful! We are those friends that could sit in absolute silence with each other on the couch and enjoy just being in the presence of one another. Jess is kind, compassionate, and never fails to bring the fun wherever we go!
