Amber and I met the first day of freshman year at St. Ben's. We decided to transfer to St. Thomas together at the end of our freshman year and never looked back. A long-time roommate & best friend all in one!

Mags and I go all the way back to Mrs. Ostrowski's 3rd grade class. Our shyness & awkwardness 15 years ago was the perfect recipe for eternal friendship.

Hannah and I met the day before I started at St. Thomas. She was my server at BWW and mentioned to me that she went to UST. I remember thinking to myself, "If every person at UST is this nice, then I'm so happy I transferred." They weren't, but I was glad I found Hannah & we went on to play tennis together at UST!

Alyssa and I met somewhere between sophomore & junior year on some sort of tennis court. Her kindness, style and tennis skills were apparent the second I met her and we've been friends ever since.

Nora and I were built-in best friends before we even existed, which means we have been friends (more like sisters) for more than 23 years. Our parents all meeting on the same night and then having us six kids grow up together is one of the best gifts I could ever ask for.

Danielle is marrying my brother and I couldn't be happier. I'm eternally grateful to Tanner because he found me an incredible sister-in-law and I can't wait for her to be a part of our family.

Rachelle is dating my younger brother, Reagan. They are the most dynamic duo couple that you could ever find. Rachelle is the sweetest, goofiest girl I've ever met and I can't imagine a world without her!

Jake & Wesley met in 2005 (the year Wesley was born). They've grown up together and have been through thick & thick throughout the past 18 years.

Cole is Jake's favorite guy cousin, by a landslide (even though Jake only has two cousins total). They spent most of their time together picking apples at the farm, fishing, and enjoying the simple things in life.

Jake and Sam have been best friends since 3rd grade. Fishing, hunting, and being carpool buddies have kept the two of them busy for years.

Zach and Jake met at Bible school in 2016. Although Jake was a Bible school dropout, that didn't stop the two of them from staying good friends. Fun weekends spent in Fargo, Walker, and Brainerd are what keep the two together!

Caden and Jake have been friends since 3rd grade as well. They're the ying to each other's yang—the perfect balance for a good, lifelong friendship.

Jon and Jake have been friends for almost 10 years. From small group to Applebee's, the two have spend countless hours together in the last decade.

Thomas is another friend that Jake met in 3rd grade. Throughout that time, Jake and Thomas have grown up together, lived together and supported each other through every stage of life.
