Adrienne is one of the first people I met when joining FOCUS, and has been one of my closest friends ever since. We have been through it all as every bride says about their maid of honor, and i'm okay with sounding cliche. Adrienne is gentle, honest, and has helped me learn biblical femininity by example. Adrienne is an amazing God honoring woman who I get to live life with.

Perri and I met through her now husband Mark, Mark introduced us and we hit it off and has been one of my closest friends ever since. Perri is an amazing woman who is passionate about people and God. Perri is strong, independent, and has made my college experience 10x better. Perri is full of life and love, she has always made me smile and laugh and I'm excited for all the funny puns to come.

Christina is my sister and with that has helped raised me to be the woman I am now. Christina has deadly wit and a love that takes many forms. Christina has shown her love through meaningful conversations helping me through rough times and providing good wisdom for my future. We are two sides of the same coin and will always stick together because family is there, for the good, bad, all of it.

DJ and I got close through video games such as minecraft and stardew valley. We always have so much fun and DJ's sweetness is so uplifting, she is the most resilient person I know. DJ has a contagious laughter and makes me laugh even when I shouldn't be. DJ has shown me what Godly humility looks like and I'm happy with our close life long friendship.

Alex and I met through FOCUS and through Perri as our mutual friend. Perri hung out with Alex a lot which started our introduction with each other. Alex is a joyful Godly woman who has taught me how lovingly challenge others and grow in my relationship with God. Alex is so genuine and respectful, I always feel honored by her actions and kind words. Alex is the best southern woman and makes an amazing chicken poblano chowder, I'm so happy for a future with great food and a great friend to share it with.

I met Eri this last year from a FOCUS seminar we both went to and do a book study every week. Eri is so goofy and in her words a "goofy goober" which is entirely accurate. Eri is playful and intellectual, which is a wild combination. We cannot go a day without a deep conversation about theology or physiology and I love that about her. Eri and I have gotten very close in such a short amount of time, and I attribute that fact to the large amount of time we have spent together in those deep conversations. I can't wait for the many more deep conversations to come and getting to do them with Eri.
