Nicole is my sister who is 2 years older than me. She is thoughtful, creative, funny and very loving. We grew up laying underneath the coffee table and coloring when everyone else was sleeping. We were buddies being so close in age, always egging each other on. Nicole has a 3 year old, Franco, and husband, Mike. In high school I was Nicole’s ‘mini’ or AKA ‘Little Cordone’, I obviously had some big shoes to fill. She was basically born to be a nurse and a mother, naturally caring and always wants to get to the root of a problem. Which makes sense because she actually is a nurse! She has been so inspiring to look up to as a sister, but also as a wife and a mom. Adapting to the busy and adventurous life Mike sets out for them. I always know I can reach out to her for help or input. It will be the best that she will finally see me step into a role as a Wife. I could not get married without her standing by my side.

I met Morgan when my cousin, CJ brought her to my parents house in San Ramon to carve pumpkins one October. Morgan laughed a lot and was so cute and upbeat she pulled me into her bubble with gravitational force. Over years of motherhood and consistent family events, like Tuesday Night dinners at the Johnsons, where we would drink a lot of wine and listen to country music. We grew so close there was no separating this amazing connection we created. I not only loved Morgan because she was a loving and a great partner to CJ but also wasn't afraid to find the best in everything. It was like I was alone in the wolf pack, and then Morgan joined in. Laughing at my jokes, totally flowing with the chaos of life and especially with three little boys. Just love her so much and super honored to have her be in my crew.

Beth is my oldest sister, we are about 6 years apart. She is super fun, smart, and active. Moving to Hawaii some 5 years ago, is her second Ohana, she lives on Oahu with her husband Owen. They both compliment each other so well I am so beyond happy I have both of them in my lives. Beth is the perfect balance of fun and serious. A day out with Beth would be a planned itinerary of coffee shopping lunch and more shopping. She is organized but there is always an endeavor on the way. I admire her bravefulness moving to the islands. But she is so much better for it! They are both on a row team and are always excelling at bettering themselves and the life that they live in Hawaii. I am so lucky to have Bev with me forever. She is very easy to talk to and always thinking of the best for me.

Lauren and I met when our kids were going to the same Daycare. Lauren looked at me and said "Oh you're so cute, let's be friends." From there it has been a non-stop commitment of friendship, caring, love, showing up, supporting in every way possible, and acting like a village to our immediate families when the other can't pull through or just needs a helping hand. Lauren has such a huge heart and naturally would do anything to help someone, even when she has two toddlers holding onto her. We would do nearly anything for our kids for them to experience a great day to day. Even walk through bushes to get to a quinceanera we werent invited to, just so the kids could play on the jumpy. Not a 'hang' goes by where we aren't laughing, reflecting and reminding ourselves to be kind on our tough days and be grateful for the good days. Such a tremendous journey I'm sure for Lauren to have befriended me during my single years, my engaged, and soon, my married. I know this will be my best yet!

Oh have I waited many, many days to finally have my best bud, Devon, be a bridesmaid in my wedding. We have shared so many amazing, memorable events throughout our decade plus friendship. We originally met from working at a family owned gelato shop in Roseville. Us being Blonde and Young, were the 2 single things needed to get along. Our friendship only grew as we would escapade through Sacramento by foot, ubers, scooters, bikes to get us to where we wanted to go next. Weekends, Weeknights, Weekdays, we were always on an adventure. And it was an adventure of FUN! From going out in college and meeting new people, roommates, jobs, moves, and life changes, we have maintained our friendship. I am so happy to say that those very fun years of always being on our toes, jumping at any opportunity to get out and act spontaneous have, for the most part, ended. We are both moms and living the family life! So happy to FINALLY make it to this day, where I belong with my man and my family, just like her.

Cody and I were part of the esteemed Class 106 at the Napa Valley Police Academy in 2018. The first memory I have of meeting Cody was during a small group project, in which most of the presentation preparation turned into laughter and shenanigans. It was immediately apparent that Cody and I would partner up for most activities at the academy. Throughout his time at the academy, Cody's determination never wavered. His diligence in both academics and physical training set a standard for others to follow, earning him accolades and admiration from instructors and fellow cadets alike. Beyond his professional pursuits, Cody's genuine warmth and easygoing nature endeared him to all who crossed his path. Whether it was lending a helping hand during rigorous training sessions or sharing a laugh during downtime, Cody's presence was always a source of positivity and encouragement. Today, as Cody stands by my side as a groomsman, it's a testament not only to our bond but also to Cody's enduring spirit of friendship and support.

I met Nick my Freshman year of High school at De La Salle High School. We became quick friends after finding out we grew up in the same neighborhood and grew up with many of the same people. We joked for many years that we were friends "because of geographical convenience", but truth be told it was more than that. Nick has been my longest and best friend since high school. Our friendship has seen both of us relocate to different places throughout California for college and after college, but our friendship has lasted the test of time.

Ira and I went to college together at Sac State. He was a good friend of mine through college, as we bonded through those late nights we will never forget. We kept in contact after college as our mutual love for golf kept us in contact. A couple of years back, Ira was essential in bringing an employment opportunity to me that allowed me a new quality of life and an ability to see my family more and more. Through endless rounds of golf, client dinners, presentations, and travels, Ira has been the one guy in my life that I talk to more than anyone else. Although some of it is work, we always find time to catch up and have become very good friends through all of these experiences that I will never forget!

Mark and I have known each other since high school, originally not liking each other for one reason or another. After high school, we ended up having some mutual friends that put us in the same place a couple times and we both realized that we actually liked each other and began to hang out and played against each other in junior college baseball. Years later, we began playing golf together and I can honestly say Mark taught me a lot about the game. Our mutual love for golf took us on many golf trips, member guest tournaments, and further developed our relationship. Mark has become one of my closest friends and I'm excited for more adventures to come!

Tyler and I went to college together and began our friendship soon after college when we played softball together. We were instantly connected due to our mutual interests of softball, golf, and having a good time. Tyler was one of the reasons I got into law enforcement, and I can't thank him enough for his help on getting a job with the City of Brentwood and my law enforcement career. Working in Brentwood, I was able to see Tyler and his wife, Ashley often, however since I changed careers haven't been able to see them as much but hopefully that changes because Tyler is one of my closest friends!
