Jojo has been a sister to me for the last 10 years but officially became my sister-in-law in 2016 when she married my brother Jason. Most people would not expect someone with a doctorate of chemistry to be personable and outgoing but Jojo breaks the mold. When she is not perfoming acid-base titrations, she is kicking her co-workers butts on the ping-pong table.

Colton is the loyal brother who followed in my footsteps only to surpass me in every academic and athletic endeavor. He is currently an accounting major and member of the lacrosse team at Denver University. He is fully prepared to be mistakenly called Parker by the geriatrics at the wedding.

Nate has been a faithful friend from the beginning of our college careers. He is a Dallas native but still beats most Coloradans down the ski slope. Don't let the muscles fool you, he can seranade any woman with his acoustic guitar and mesmerizing voice.

Kelly and I have been two peas in a pod since the 7th grade. She is the best friend everyone hopes for and has a passion helping premature babies in the NICU. She has an affinity skiing and traveling the world. Not only are we best friends, but our dogs are too :)

Haleigh is a Texas sweetheart who is my Colorado Springs roomie and saved me from soliciting a Craigslist roommate. As a fellow nurse, Haleigh and I have the best time sharing stories from work that the boys would be way too grossed out to hear. She is a fashionista who has the ability to make any room look as if it was a product of HGTV. Parker and I have already hired her to decorate our new home.

Richie was one of the first people I met at the Academy. He is Texas born and raised and took the position of head chef during our time as roommates in Colorado Springs. He is a connoisseur of smoked meats and craft beers and will consistently provide you with unsolicited advice on the golf course.

Referred to as "sweet James" by my mother, James is the guy that we all strove to be like on the lacrosse field and in the classroom. Upon graduation, he did two years at a base in Dayton, Ohio before his current assignment in Germany. He is the absolute life of the party and is sure to entertain everyone with stories on the wedding night.

Paige and I's friendship all began on the high school poms squad. While I have lost nearly all flexibility since then, Paige is still involved as a coach for the team. When we are together, it is as if no time has passed.

Sarah is my 3 year old niece who has a love for swings, trampolines, and my dog Buddy.

Davis is a bright 8 year old boy who stands a whole head taller than all of his classmates and loves all things sports. He is Kelsey's second cousin and arguably a better dancer.

Holden will be the cutest five year old boy at the wedding and sure to be found pestering his older brother Davis. He is a great skier and will be happy to take any unfinished desserts.
