My older sister, and my best friend. She’s extremely organized, hardworking, and a natural caretaker. She has supported me through everything I’ve ever wanted to do, the person I always go to for advice, and who I look up to the most.

My baby sister is one of the most resilient people I know. Tough as nails, but a big softy inside. She’s an amazing mother and sister, with so much patience for her children. I’m always so impressed with her drive and ambition.

Katie and I have a special bond. Even though miles have separated us since high school, we still talk every single day. She’s smart, witty, and a wonderful mother. She’s an amazing friend and has always been my confidant and voice of reason.

Isla and I met in high school and have had some great adventures throughout our friendship. We have been to California, all throughout the Caribbean, Denver, and South Africa. We have lived together and moved far away from each other, but our close friendship has always remained.

Pennie and I met shortly after high school. She is extremely blunt but always has your back! She’s a wild card and a true friend, and there is never a dull moment when Lauren is around.

Its hard not to love Sarah. She’s an extremely genuine person and has been the biggest cheerleader since the beginning of Tim and I’s relationship. She’s someone I know I will be friends with for a long time to come.

One of the most organized people I know. This girl is calm, cool, and collected. She has a creative spirit and is very talented in everything she does. We may not talk as often as we would like, but we have an easy friendship that has withstood time and distance.

Lauryn and I’s friendship has always been so easy. We met working at the same restaurant and became fast friends. After we both left Florida years would pass before we were reunited in Denver. Despite the time away from one another, we picked back up as though no time had passed at all. She has always made an effort to stay in touch, which has meant so much to me as our lives have changed and grown.

John is a phenomenal older brother and someone I have always looked up to. He has always tried to take care of me and the rest of my family. I am lucky to have him as a brother.

Dan is one of the smartest guys I have ever known. He has a big heart and has always succeeded at anything he has tried. I understand him more than most, probably because of the many battle royales we had growing up. I am lucky to have him as my brother.

Chris is far less successful and attractive than the rest of his friends but that has never stopped him from trying. Joking aside, Chris and I met in college and have been best friends ever since. He is one of the best men I know, and I am forever grateful for our friendship.

Mark and I were in the same pilot training class and have flown C-130Js together in both Germany and Arkansas. More importantly, I am el Padrino (Godfather) to his oldest daughter. He is an amazing friend, father, and a man of God.

Chris and I have been friends since high school. He has always made it a point to make sure we can get together whenever I am in town since I moved after college, which means a lot. He is a guy I am still proud to call my friend.

Erol is probably my craziest friend, but crazy loves company. He has been an extremely loyal and caring friend since we met in Little Rock in 2018. It has been awesome to make a such a great friend who I know will be a friend for a long time to come.

Joe is one of the nicest guys you will probably ever meet. We became friends in high school and have stayed friends all these years even as we have lived far apart.

Scott is one of those guys who is really good at everything he does, no matter how difficult. Luckily, he has friends like Chris Heiserman and I to keep him humble by berating him. It seems to be working so far, because he is also one of the most humble guys I know. Booooooo Scott.
