Kristin met Cassie in 2020 when she (Kristin) began working as a teacher in Middleburg, FL. Kristin began teaching in Middleburg as a 4th grade English/Language Arts teacher, and Cassie was her team teacher, teaching Math. Cassie and Kristin (as well as others) used to go play Bingo together in Orange Park. We've worked out together (once - but never again XD). Kristin knows that she can always reach out to Cassie when needed to vent and decompress, and Cassie always finds a way to make things upbeat, positive, and fun!

Kristin met Juliana quite a few years ago when her cousin, Bryce, began showing her off during family holidays. ;) Bryce and Juliana got married in 2021, and Kristin was happy to be a bridesmaid at their wedding. Kristin is so glad to have Juliana as part of the family, and now as part of our own big day next June!

Kristin met Brittany through one of Tyler's friends from work, Scott. Brittany is Scott's wife, and has always been super welcoming and easy to talk to. Brittany is always down for a good time (as evidenced by our Bourbon County spree on Black Friday 2022), but can also appreciate a quiet weekend at home watching Netflix, which is why Kristin loves her so much!

Kristin also met Lorin through one of Tyler's friends from work, Chip. Lorin is Chip's wife. Like Brittany, Lorin has always been super welcoming and easy to talk to. Kristin, Tyler, Chip, and Lorin went camping in April 2023 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, and we ALL had a blast riding on golf carts, despite our camp getting flooded out in the rain. Lorin truly inspires Kristin as a spectacular woman, mom, and organizational queen!

Kristin met Tatiana through one of Tyler's "school-days" friends, Matt (Stow-ezy). Tatiana was Matt's wife, and Kristin and Tatiana both bonded over (and supported one another with) how dumb both Tyler and Matt could be when they were together. Matt unexpectedly passed away a few years ago; however, Tatiana is now happily remarried to another friend of Kristin & Tyler's, Mikey, whom we both appreciate for taking care of her and their family so well. Kristin and Tatiana have remained good friends, and Tatiana has always been supportive of Kristin and Tyler's relationship (and she will tell it like it is when needed - when either one of us are wrong)!

Kristin also met Heather through one of Tyler's "school-days," friends, Wayne. Heather is Wayne's wife. Heather is just a bundle of fun... from dinner with Kristin's mom on the North Side (when Kristin first moved to Florida) to La Nop date nights (she will know what I'm referencing here when I say, "Tyler's truck"), "Parent's Night Out," (which, Kristin and Tyler are not parents yet, but we were having a final dinner out for a few friends who were moving from Florida to Virginia), to friends and kids' birthday or pool parties, or even just hanging out watching football, Heather has always been a welcoming friend to Kristin, and has always reassured Kristin that she is a great addition to the "school-days husbands and wives," friend group!
