So grateful for this dear friend who I met at horse camp back when we were 14!! We stayed in touch through email, reconnected in person at the start of college and have made so many memories through different seasons ever since! From cooking delicious dinners together and making sopapillas, to going on photo shoots and sharing in the ups and downs of life, I am blessed to know her and her amazing heart!

Jason has been my best friend since high school. His work ethic is unmatched and he is a tremendous father! Jason is the truest friend a man could ask for!

I met Thomas in college. Even though he’s a Patriots fan, he is one of the wisest men I’ve ever known. Through leading bible studies and years of friendship, I have been continually amazed by Thomas’ character and blessed by his friendship.

Dorf and I met in college through Bible study. We quickly bonded over our love of sports and In particular our shared misery that can only come from being a long suffering Rockies fan. Dorf is also the definition of an extrovert and I credit him for being one of the people who brought me out of my small town introverted shell!

Nathan is another college bible study friend. We immediately bonded over our love of playing the guitar and of old music. I knew Nathan would be friends for life when he told me his favorite musician was Bob Dylan!

I’ve known Hannah since elementary school when we were both living in San Pedro, CA on the military housing base. Both of our dads were in the Air Force and our moms homeschooled us so we became fast friends! I’m so grateful for all the memories we have from playing dress up as kids to visiting each other after I moved to CO, to high school graduation celebrations. I got to be a bridesmaid for her wedding and I’m so blessed to have her support as I get married! I treasure our chats on the phone and even though we don’t get to see each other in person very often living far away, I know we’ll always be there for each other!

Rick and I met in college through the Navigators. Some of my favorite memories with Rick come from working the morning breakfast shift at the dining hall. Rick has exceptional musical talent, and there were many instances where duets could be heard coming from the dish pit. The sound track to frozen was among our greatest hits!

I met Victoria through our homeschool co-op at the start of high-school and I’m so grateful for her friendship through the years! From going to Christian concerts, to birthday celebrations, to just meeting up for lunches or coffee to catch up on life, she has been a faithful and encouraging friend and it’s a joy to know her! Her love for the Lord and her love for others inspires me!

I met Janette when I was a freshman in college through Christian Challenge in CO Springs. A couple years later we got to be roommates for a year and I’m so grateful for that time! After I moved up north, we’ve continued to stay in touch and have had lots of sweet visits, adventures, afternoon teas, and wonderful chats on the phone! She is such a faithful friend and is a blessing to me and all who know her!

Alex is a fun loving college friend! We bonded over an appreciation of bluegrass music and enjoying the occasional round of disc golf! Alex is a genuine person and one of the wisest men I know. He reliably brings great new perspectives and someone I often go to for advice on anything other than fantasy football.

Eric and I met in college through, though we became much closer post college as roommates. Eric has a heart of gold and can’t help but be a blessing to everyone around him. He has as taught me more about cooking than anyone else and has been with me throughout many of the ups and downs of life!

I met Bradley through a Bible study post college. I once had thought I knew a lot about football until I talked with Bradley. We love our Denver teams but what makes Bradley special is the way he loves and cares for others. He keeps a level head under leans is an inspiration to me personally!

Other than having a really cool name. Josh is constantly doing things to make people laugh. “Lary legend” can find the bright side of just about anything and he is truly the most powerful prayer warrior I have ever known. Anyone who has ever had a conversation with Josh is undoubtedly better off for it!

I met Hannah through mutual friends at church! We bonded talking about our love for travel and have gotten to go on a few adventures together (along with Janette and Erin S.) to Buena Vista, Niagara Falls, and the UK! I’m so grateful for her friendship, her kind heart, and she inspires me with her planning and organizational skills when it comes to planning so many details of these amazing trips!

I met Erin as a freshman at UCCS when we lived on the same floor in the dorms! We also were both apart of Christian Challenge! Erin is fun-loving, adventurous, encouraging, has a big heart, and I’m so grateful for her friendship! I’ve really enjoyed going on adventures with her and her love of history helps me appreciate the historical places we visit even more too!

Katy & I met about 2 years ago through a church small group. Our friendship has been very spontaneous from last minute trips to Boulder to watch the solar eclipse, mid morning bonfires with s'mores & attending various town parades! I am so very thankful to be part of their wedding & get to share in their celebration!
