Stephanie is Lizzy's oldest sister who lives in Troy, NY with her husband Will and their very good doggo Woodrow Wilson. A lovable and fiercely loyal curmudgeon, she's been swiftly guiding Lizzy for years (well, Lizzy's entire life really). She spends her days tending to her many homes across her kingdom of South Troy, sipping wine, and generally causing trouble with her crew of mischievous 40-somethings who are fellow enthusiasts in reviving the neighborhood’s forgotten houses.

Ben is Derek's older and only brother and resident of Erie, Pa. He met his wife, Andrea, when he and Derek were roommates during Derek's senior year of college. Ben and Andrea have three wonderful kids: Izzy, Ava and Chase. Always the more responsible brother, Ben has done his best to help steer his little bro in the right direction. He's even been right a time or two.

Tara is Lizzy's older sister who lives in Tampa, FL with her gaggle of children Zack, Cayden and Sage and husband Danny. She loves the Buffalo Bills almost as much as Lizzy does. Always an expert planner, Tara and Lizzy have shared many a trip together, starting with sharing a room growing up. Pro tip: don't argue with her- you won't win.

Kelly is one of Derek's longest tenured friends, they have been bickering since sixth-grade. She spends her free time playing Gelic Football and Camogie, being outdoors, traveling and hanging with her family/friends/boyfriend/dog/cats. She is an attorney (don't worry, the good kind) so between that and her long-term friends (Tom, Rick, Brandon, etc.), please send help.

Alison "Ali" Smith is Lizzy's college friend and fellow escape room enthusiast. Originally from Erie, PA she came down to Pittsburgh with her husband Mo and two kitties Momo and Rem. Known as Funtime Lederhosen, they have escaped all the rooms in the Pittsburgh area together. Ali is an excellent listener, active outdoors woman and generally awesome friend. If you like Edgar Allen Poe, and all things Halloween, you'll get along wonderfully with Ali.

Chris is a fellow yinzer through and through. He (and his wife Bailey) is a college friend of Lizzy's who Derek "stole" shortly after they met. Every fall you can find he and Derek watching the Steelers together while Lizzy and Bailey cheer on the Bills. The rest of the year he and Derek can be found at a local brewery, PNC Park or playing Magic: the Gathering and sipping bourbon.

Angela "Bedazzle" Strathman is Lizzy's post-college friend. Originally from Oregon, she moved to Pittsburgh via Texas with her husband Andrew and kiddos Rose and Lucas to whom Lizzy is affectionally known as "auntie". Fast friends, Lizzy and Angela have done too many ridiculous things to list here (mud runs, traveling to Hawaii, getting entirely too inebriated), but be sure to ask her about some of our crazy stories and she would be happy to regale you. 

Michael "Mikey"/"Monty" Montgomery has known Derek since their high-school days. They kept in touch via a few hazy weekends in State College during their college years (where he met his lovely wife Jessie, not the one featured below) and reunited in Pittsburgh years later. Whether it was kickball, volleyball or, now, pickleball and Magic (you'll notice a trend) they are always finding ways to compete alongside or against one another. We all spend weekends several times a year together at his ski cabin playing board games, hosting murder mystery parties and sipping bourbon by the fire.

Bailey "Bails" Allegretti is Lizzy's friend from college. They have been friends ever since living in the same apartment building with Lizzy randomly crashing Bailey's parties. Bailey lives in Ross, just north of Pittsburgh with her husband Chris (also in the wedding party!) delightful potcake Pepper and fierce cat Ricky.  As a fellow Bills fan originally from Rochester, NY, Bailey and Lizzy endured many "there's always next year"s together. Bailey is an exceptionally talented artist and an amazingly supportive friend. 

Josh and Derek met over a decade ago playing kickball, introduced by Josh's wife, Kris, a former high-school classmate of Derek's. Together we've racked up many kickball championships, teamed together for a pickleball tournament and overlapped on volleyball teams. But, the real competition comes on the front porch of Josh's gorgeous home during every house party where real champions are crowned: the beer pong table. The winners are rewarded with a dip in the hot tub and a tall glass from Josh's extensive collection of bourbon.

Diana Worgul is Lizzy's friend from...sports I guess? Well that's how they originally met anyway, but Lizzy's pretty much wormed her way into Diana's life to become a constant presence. From Pittsburgh, Diana lives in the city with her respectively vicious and adorable cats - Meatball and Biscuit. Their travels together are always filled with shenanigans and laughter with too many stories to recount. Make sure not to challenge her on the pickleball court- you won't win!

Cullen and Derek met when his wife, Erin, and Lizzy worked in the same college together at CMU and bonded while tagging along for the ladies work trip to Louisville. Currently, Cullen and Derek themselves work together for GA Industries. Cullen's tattoo tipped off that they might also enjoy playing Magic together (there it is again) but when the weather is cooperative they can be found on the pickleball court. Also: bourbon.

Jessica "Jessie" Ferraro is Lizzy's friend from college. A native Pittsbugher, Jessie always has snacks and cheese available, which is the kind of friend everyone needs. Jessie is an excellent listener, and is always there to help problem solve the conundrums Lizzy finds herself in (Mission European Swap comes to mind). A general badass, make sure not to mess with anyone that Jessie loves or you're in for a bad time.

Cat is Lizzy's friend from college. They initially met while shaping the young minds of the University of Pittsburgh youths as Peer Advisors. Since then they have taken many an adventure together, including exploring Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, hiking in Boulder, and most recently river floating in Austin, Texas. Cat lives in Pittsburgh with his wife Ally (with a Y not an I mind you!) the derpy-est of loafs, Meatloaf the Dog, and fuffy-est of furballs, Helga the Cat.
