MY GIRL. My little Lou. My favorite little sister. My built in best friend. The person who has been there for me every step of the way. She has been there with me through every relationship, every breakup, every frustration, every crush, every insecurity, and every beautiful moment in my life. Though we may get on each other’s last nerve sometimes, she will forever be the person I come to in happy and sad times. I already come to her when I am upset about something because she always tells me what I need to hear but don't want to hear. She has always got my back on everything and she knows I always have her back as well. She knows me better than anybody even possibly Nathan. She encourages me everyday and makes me a better person every step of the way too. I feel so blessed to have her by my side not only on my wedding day but everyday after! SO much love for my little Lou Lou.

EM! My inseparable!! Our story is a fun one. Emily and I actually met in 2nd grade but didn't become best friends until high school. She is also the reason I transferred to DBU. Boy, we have been through some times together, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Through it all we have come out strong on the other side. I am so very thankful to have this beautiful and strong soul in my life. She is one of the reasons I am who I am today because she always points me back to Christ and gives me the best advice. I absolutely can not wait for her to stand by my side at my wedding like I was able to stand at her side for her wedding.

SHELBS!! my opposite looking twin (lol). I met shelby at DBU our freshman year of college (even though I didn't go to DBU yet). not going to lie, I was so intimidated by her the first time we met for some reason haha. Over time though she has become one of my best friends AND this girl is the reason Nathan and I are together! I can't tell you how thankful I am for that and the fact that us and our husbands will be best friends for life! Shelbs is one of the most joyful and encouraging people I know, and I know she is going to be hyping me up all day on my wedding day! Can't wait!!

ASH! My fireball of a friend! This girl may seem innocent but believe me she is a fierce one. Ash and I met at DBU and were even roommates for a time. I am so thankful for that time because ash and I became besties from it. This girl is probably one of the smartest girls I have ever met, and also one of the most honest girls I have ever met. I know I can come to her for anything and she would help through any confrontation or situation. She is one of my most energetic and bubbly friends and I can not wait to have that by my side on my wedding day!!

MAKY MAK! This girl has to be one of my most fiercest and loyalist friends! I have known Mak since 2nd grade and we always did athletics together in high school but we didn't become best friends until senior year. Since then we have stayed close and become even closer all throughout college and now into our adult lives. She is one of the most courageous people I know and she always make whatever time we get together the best time! I know I will always have Mak by my side through all the life changes that come our way and I can't wait to have her by my side on the biggest life change thus far - my wedding day!!

SARBEAR! My sweetest friend! This girl is one of the most kind and genuine people you will ever meet. Sarah and I met at DBU, were roommates, and coworkers for a time on campus. I treasure those memories and I treasure this friendship so much. I miss this girl and our lunch dates to Panera or R taco all the time now that she is in North Carolina. Even then though I know she will always be there for me no matter the distance. Sarah is a light in this world and I can't wait to have her and her light by my side on my wedding day!!
