Abbey walked into my life more than 5 years ago when Colten brought her home to meet the family! It was very clear from the beginning that she fit right into the family. Abbey is one of the most genuine, kindness souls out there. If you have the chance to know and love Abbey, consider yourself a lucky human being. Abbey, thank you for always showing up for me. You really are such a blessing and I would do anything for you! Love you!

John Thomas Bernens "JT" has been and always will be a Little Brother to me. He's the guy to shoot me straight when needed and someone who can be turned to for advise. We have been best friends since the 8th grade and through the military, college, and life have been best friends ever since. Just an amazing husband and father and couldn't have asked for a better best man, friend and family member. His family has been a true blessing to my life. Especially Robin. All in all he's that ride or Die. Bad boys for life.

Jenna and I became VERY fast friends when Josh and I started dating. Her genuine heart and her love for others is contagious. It's very clear to me why Josh has been friends with her for so many years. A common question in our home on any given Friday night is " Have you talked to Kyle and Jenna yet? What are we doing tonight?". Thanks for being you Jenna. I love you to pieces!

Kyle AKA "Nuge" has been nothing short of another brother to me. While life has happened we have been through it all. He has been there for me in the best and worst times of my life. Kyle is a great husband, Dad, and Friend. Don't really know where id be without him.

Chole! The real MVP around here! Her and I met when her and her husband, JT (aka the Best Man) moved back to MN just a mile down the road from us! I think God knew I needed a like minded human in life so he placed her basically at my doorstep... almost literally! Cheers to you Chloe! Here's to being life long friends!

Josh AKA "Stock" is the funniest guy I know. He was my very first friend at RMS. On the first day of school he tapped me on the shoulder and said "your name is josh too, we should become friends and hang out". Haven't been without my stocky poo since. he's a great husband, a middle of the road golfer, but most important to me he's a great friend and always finds a way to get me belly laughing.

Jessica... The OG of fun! I often wonder if this girl sneezes glitter, because everywhere she goes, magic and glitter follow! I honestly think about our friendship like the scene is Step Brothers where both brothers say " Did we just becomes best friends? YEP!" She is one of the most loyal friends you will ever met. Having her in my life is another reminder that good people exist. Jessica- never stop being you and thank you for coming into my life! I will forever cherish our friendship!

Mike AKA "bowlegs" has been a great friend of mine for a long time. We both served in the military. we've worked together laying floor. We've lifted weights together. we both have a deep love for football and the purple. He's always got a good outlook on everything. He's a great husband, father and may have two of the coolest parents of all time. Truly a great friend and like all the rest another brother to me. A true patriot of the Red, White and Blue!

Okay... last but absolutely not least is this amazing soul. Have you ever met someone and thought " I really hope they know how amazing they are?" Well I have thought this way several times about Sarah! She welcomed me with open arms into the family and allowed to love her daughter as if she were my own! One of my most favorite memories of Sarah and I was when we were in Yellowstone sitting in a hammock, just talking and she said to me " I'm really glad you're here and thank you for making my brother happy." Yep.... she's the best.... I know! I will never be able to express just how much gratitude I have for you Sarah! Thank you for being the sister I always needed! I love you!

Jack "Midnight Jeffrey" Lund, a man like none other. shreds the drums, shreds the sleeves off shirts, and shreds the score card after golf. Jack came into my life while my degenerate friends attended St. cloud State. A "Maple grove" guy. He has one of the biggest hearts I know. He's just genuinely a great guy. Cant say enough about the people who raised him. Steve and Rose did a bang up job. love this guy and couldn't be happier to have him in our wedding.
