Sisters. We've laughed, cried, fought, and loved forever! Since I am the last of the 4 kids to get married, Jody had informed me that I better find someone who gets along with all of us since our family is so close....and well she approved since the first time she met Dallas, SHE, yes Jody, leaned in to give him a hug as they were leaving.

Best Friend. Trucker Brother. The person to thank for bringing Dallas to JPT from CHS. Squatty, which is how we all know him, is intrigued by anything that moves! He's the sarcastic joker in the crowd.

Best Friend. Neighbor. Every Minnesota girl needs her Iowa gal. Ashley and I met in 2014 and kicked it off from the beginning. She's stood beside me through several trials and tribulations and couldn't imagine my wedding day without this rock of a best friend beside me.

Older Smaller Brother. Mr. Fix-It. "No-no-no" was not his typical response when asked to be in our wedding. If you want to try eating something interesting, like squab, squirrel or some other rodent, ask Ryan, he'll kill it and grill it for ya!

Cousin. Mischievous Mates. T-R-O-U-B-L-E. They don't see each other often as Garrett is in the Navy, but when they do, oh lord watch out! ....When in Rome, do as the Romans!

Besties. 4-H friends. Whitney and I go way back to those awkward years of middle school when we met in Brown County 4-H. To every beef gal is her sheep gal even though Whitney is becoming a cattle love helping us show cattle at MN State Fair, Clay County Fair in Iowa, and MN Beef Expo.

The musically inclined, athletic, little brother.

NJHA Boardies. Courtney and I met in July 2010 and became very close as we served on the National Junior Hereford Association Board of Directors together. We have shared many beds together traveling the country. Even though 1600 miles separate us, nothing can break our bond.

Goddaughter. Miss Clarabelle! Our spunky little farm girl who would probably marry "Uncle Dallas" as he's been called since day one if her Aunt Maime wasn't! She brings so much joy into our lives.

Soon to be Brother-In-Law, but that's what they refer to each other as on a daily basis.

Well! Buddy from Home.

Nephew. This happy big boy just makes us smile. As Dallas always says, "He was born to wear flannels and suspenders!"
