Teri and Libby were roommates in grad school. They bonded over many margaritas and wine nights while grinding out papers. Despite now living six hours apart, the friendship keeps getting stronger. Their phone calls while driving to work and FaceTime wine nights complaining about mutual athletic training problems keep them close. She is the calm to Libby's crazy. Teri is known to always answer a “tell me if I’m overreacting” text and everyone needs a friend like that.

Brent and Mitch have been friends since high school. They have enjoyed many trips to Gatlinburg where Brent pulled Mitch up Mount Le Conte and Mitch introduced Brent to moonshine. You can almost always find these two together (with Doug) at Winking Lizard working on their tour of beers. From the very beginning of their friendship Brent felt immediately welcomed by Mitch and his family. He always felt accepted as part of the family. He not only gets a best friend but a whole other family in the Adams/Sliwinskis. Mitch is the bonus family Brent never knew he needed.

Darby and Libby have been friends since birth. Their parents used to live next door to each other and her mom babysat Libby as a kid. She is the closest thing to a sister Libby has ever known. They have seen each other through every awkward phase life has thrown at them. No matter where life takes them, they always have had each other.

Jeff and Brent teach together at Fairview. Jeff has been a mentor to Brent over the eight years he has been teaching. They have shared many laughs during lunchtime over the years. Jeff has really shaped Brent into a better teacher and better person overall. He’s someone Brent can always bounce ideas and thoughts off of.

Emily and Libby were grad school roommates. They bonded over cooking dinners while listening to Michael Buble. She was Josie’s second mom and helped Josie get through the crazy puppy phase. They thrived through Covid lockdown together. They had a blast working out, walking Josie, watching Disney movies, and doing puzzles. Life keeps moving them around in different directions but they are thrilled to both be living in the same state currently and getting closer again.

Brent and Doug have known each other since high school. Doug is Mitch’s cousin. He introduced them. The three of them have really been inseparable for years. But specifically Doug and Brent bond over our love of craft beer at (of course) Winking Lizard and constant sharing of memes. Brent appreciates having a friend who is always down for a hike, beer, sporting event, or just aimlessly staring at a tv. Whatever it is Brent needs, Doug is the guy.

Lauren and Libby went to college together. Lauren was on the swim team when Libby worked with them as a rotation as an athletic training student. The two bonded talking during Lauren's PT sessions. Lauren stuck with Libby during one of the hardest times of her life. Even with their crazy schedules, they always find time for each other.

Matt is Libby’s older brother. He and Brent have bonded over video games, Creed, Matt constantly making Brent food at Rocky’s, and Matt force feeding everyone tequila shots. Matt’s support of the relationship has been huge, but both know Matt is most excited to have a brother in law so that he can use all the nicknames he’s been holding onto for years. We love you Broba Fett, Brotato chip, Broham, Indiana Brones, etc!
