I met Kat in my freshman year of college through our sorority, Gamma Phi Beta. Though in the beginning she wasn't sure of me, she quickly changed her mind, and we have been best friends for the last 10 years. We enjoy having weekends where we catch up, explore, go on adventures, and try new places to eat! Music is also a large part of our friendship, and car rides will never be without music in our world. Kat is full of love and selflessness, and no matter what, she is always who I share something with. She's always been there for me, and I know she always will be. Love you Kat. -Aubrey

Amberlyn is my childhood best friend. We met in kindergarten and remained best friends through high school, and still to the present day! We looked forward to girls' weekends with a sleepover and playing Survivor. We were always outside and just enjoyed spending time with each other. Amberlyn is full of joy, life, and love. She would do anything for me or anyone she loves - she is selfless. She always gives me another perspective on things and isn't afraid to challenge me to be a better person. I love how you love life. Love you Amberlyn. -Aubrey

I met Cindy in my freshman year of college, as we both had the same big in our sorority, Gamma Phi Beta. That meant that we were twins in sorority terms. Cindy, Kat, and I became inseparable. After her freshman year, Cindy decided to join the Air Force and had to move away. Kat and I still visited her for beach trips and wrote many letters to stay in touch. Cindy is a handful of fun - from going out to staying in, she brings energy and joy wherever she goes. If Cindy is there, we will have a good time! To be part of Cindy's circle is such a gift. Love you Twin. -Aubrey

Brittany is my older sister and Aubrey's soon to be sister-in-law. Throughout our lives, Brittany and I have always been extremely close. Growing up, we always had each other's backs and kept each other's secrets...sometimes used for blackmail. She's an amazing mom to her children, Logan and Ryleigh, and loves doing weekend activities with them. She enjoys baking, getting the whole family together, and going to the beach. No matter where life takes us, I know we will always be close. I could not have my wedding day without her in it. -Michael

Tyler is my older brother and soon to be Michael's brother-in-law. Tyler enjoys working on multiple projects at a time and has an amazing ability to learn and fix anything. He enjoys working on cars, his house, spending time with family and friends, and an occasional good drink! Tyler cares - he cares about you as a person and has such high emotional intelligence to understand how you are feeling and to see all sides of you for who you truly are. To be part of Tyler's circle is a special thing. I still remember in high school, he wrote a letter to me as I was about to graduate, and what I recall from it was "Binks, just don't lose yourself, okay? Maybe one day you can get a Lexus like me, too." This made me tear up and laugh. He cares so much about those he loves, but we also have to include something car-related! -Aubrey

Austen was the very first friend I made in Texas. Ironically, I don't think either of us knew it at the time. It was my first day of work in construction and I got teamed up with the other "young kid" to clean up the laydown yard. He only worked during summer breaks while he was in college, but we always stayed in touch. When he officially hired on with Archer Western, he was sent out-of-town to the same project as me. For the next year, Austen and I lived together in my tiny 200sq ft apartment. Throughout our friendship, he has seen both the best and worst versions of me. Austen has a huge heart and brings out the very best in everyone he knows. He is one of the funniest people I have ever met and it is guaranteed to be a good time when he is around. -Michael

Steele was the first intern I ever trained at Archer Western. To his surprise, I had just been promoted to Project Engineer and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. On his first day, I told him we would be learning this job together... and then proceeded to make him pound a 100+ hubs into the ground. Steele's personality is almost identical to mine. We became brothers almost immediately. He is one of the hardest working people I know and does not stop until the job is finished. Steele is the friend I could call with any problem at any time, and I know he would be there for me. -Michael

Chris is my older brother. And depending on the boots we're wearing, my big brother. The only reason I am in Texas today is because of Chris. Ten years ago, I moved into his house and began working with him at Archer Western. He showed me the ins-and-outs of construction and was always there for me when I needed advice. While I may have been the one to put in the work, ultimately, he is the one who set me on the path. I would not be the man I am today if it were not for him. He is without a doubt one of the smartest people I know. So whether he likes it or not, he will be answering my life questions for the rest of his. - Michael
