A sister growing up has become a best friend with age. Maggie is my favorite traveling companion - she plans the trip and I show up - a match made in heaven. We share some of my favorite memories and most importantly, have always been there for each other.

I met Maddie when we were 14 and she's been my best friend every day since. We battled the awkward teenage years together and head on. This friendship has and will forever stand the test of time. Mackie forever.

Mon has kept me laughing since the day I met her when we were freshman at Ohio State. She is loyal, fun-loving, always keeps you guessing and is one of my favorite people to be around. Period.

From dorm room neighbors to traveling the world together, Jenn opened my world to adventure and taught me to never take life for granted. We got inked in Italy together. Cogli Lattimo.

Thank god for Kelly! She brought me to Scottsdale after assisting to hire for my job at the Fiesta Bowl. We were quick friends, she makes life better and I am so lucky to know her.

I blindly asked Erin to be my roommate when we both moved to Indianapolis to work for the NCAA. I'm glad I trusted my gut because Erin quickly became a best friend and the older sister I never had.

Nikki was the first of Brett's siblings that I met and it wasn't long until we were acting like siblings ourselves. From wrestling matches, to picking on Brett and everything in between, we've been sisters from the start.

Brett deemed Melissa the most intimidating of his sisters but I never saw it. Melissa and I had too much in common not to become great friends. She also keeps Brett in line. Win-win.

I'll forever be appreciative of the way Jen check up on me after Brett moved to Denver. She has always made me feel like part of the family and now I get her as a sister.
