Olivia and I have been friends since middle school. From spending the summers at her house before we could drive, to graduating college together, we have a sister bond that I will forever cherish. We have watched each other go through so many trying life events and I truly don't think there's another person on this Earth that knows more about me....which means we can't ever stop being friends ;)

When Josh and I first met, I was quickly introduced to his little sister, Alysha, who was in middle school at the time. I had no clue what she thought of me or if she would even like me. Alysha and I became inseparable very quickly. We formed such a strong bond and I knew off the bat that I was so lucky to join such a welcoming, loving, family. I thank God for putting Alysha in my life.

Jada is quite literally the funniest person I know. She has the most radiant personality and will make anyone feel the best about themselves within a second. Her and I have grown up together for the last 10+ years. Getting to call her a sister means everything to me and I cherish that bond that we get to share. Everyone needs a Jada in their lives.

I met Megan my sophomore year of college at the University of Indianapolis. We both changed our majors to Elementary Education to become teachers after freshman year. We had a few classes together and we always said how weird it was that we both knew the same people but somehow we never met. College seems like a scam to some, but when you meet your lifelong friends, it seems like a blessing. Megan and I spent nearly every day of the next 3 years together whether it was in classes, or going to visit a new coffee shop. Megan inspires me to be a better person, as she has a heart of gold.

Lainey and I have been friends for what seems like forever. She is the type of friend that will literally do anything with you, even if that means just sitting in the passenger seat with you while you run errands. She is loyal, compassionate, and loves everyone 100%. During COVID, we were literally joined together at the hip. We spent so much time together learning silly Tik Tok dances, watching movies, buying random stuff at the store, doing puzzles, I mean the list goes on. We share a love for Polar Ice gum, mexican food, and black cherry White Claws. I am so thankful for her!

Maysen is the definition of a ride or die. No matter the circumstances, she would drop anything for me or Josh. Being her big sister has been really scary, (she's very spontaneous) but I couldn't ask for a better role. She is the first person I call when I get bad news, exciting news, I just want to rant, or cry news. We have been through it all, but she still hasn't gotten rid of me ;) She truly is the best sister.

Abby and I met in college freshman year. The first time I met her I thought she was an absolute ball of fun.. and of course that meant I wanted to be her friend. We were roommates in college for two years and made so many cherished memories together. I will just say, if you can live in a house with 5 girls and still remain friends when it's time to move out, they are a forever friend! Abby is someone that you want to keep close!
