"Callie Rae is my built-in best friend, and is so special to me. She has always taken care of me, even though she's the younger one. She's my biggest cheerleader and brings out my most fun side!  Callie is the most athletic person I know, and has tried basically every sport and rocked it! Her determination is truly amazing. She is the perfect picture of a joyous soul. She loves God with all her heart and inspires me every day to be a better person. I am so blessed to call her my sister, and truly one of my role models. Big sister is one of the best titles I've ever received."

Callie Smith

"Ella and I met when she moved to my high school freshman year. We became best friends senior year and decided to go to SBU together for college. She is the truest and sweetest friend a girl could ask for. I know God hand-picked her to be my best friend and I am so beyond thankful. She's held me up when my tears are pushing me down and she's laughed so hard with/at me that there were tears."  -Nautica

Ella Ryan 

"JJ is a ray of sunshine! I met her my freshman year of college and she quickly became one of my favorite people. She is the most caring and empathetic person I have ever met. She hurts when her friends hurt, she is the most joyous person when her friends succeed, and she loves like Jesus. Throughout our friendship we’ve had millions of laughs, lots of tears, hugs, falls, trips, movie nights, long nights of deep talks, and so much love. I will forever be thankful to God for bringing me this friendship. ❤️” -Nautica

Joslynne Jensen

"Liv was also one of the first people I met at college. Our friendship has grown and grown over the past few years and I am so happy to call her one of my best friends. She’s so kind, wise, and strong! She is such a hard worker and puts others before herself. I admire her so much and I’m so blessed and honored to be her friend. ❤️ "-Nautica

Olivia Crawford

"My friendship with Claudia was a spontaneous one. It was my freshman year and her junior year of college. She was a political science major and I was an elementary education major. We met working as campus hosts, giving tours of SBU. While working, we would have really deep conversations. We got to know each other on such a deep level so fast! We ended up talking about mission trips one day and decided we wanted to try and get on the Thailand mission trip team for the next winter. We went in together and ended up getting on the team! After almost two years of friendship now, we’ve been on trips together, one across the world, we’ve cried together, laughed together, and now we’re even tackling long distance friendship as Claudia pursues a career at Fox10 news in Mobile, AL! I’m so blessed to call her a friend. 🥰" -Nautica

“Maddy was one of my very first friends at SBU. She was there the moment I started to have a crush on Landen. She even planned a group hangout so she could scope out the situation and tell me if she thought he liked me. Which I will say after that night she told me, “oh girl, he DEFINITELY likes you”. She was my hype woman from day one and she was convinced Landen and I would date and get married the whole time. And here we are…🥹 Maddy and I started getting our nails done together freshman year and it became our favorite thing to do together. On a deeper level, Maddy has physically held me up while I’ve cried from anxious feelings, and walked me through hard times. She’s a one of a kind friend and truly just a beautiful person inside and out. I am so blessed to have her by my side on my wedding day. ❤️” -Nautica

Maddy Edge

"Hannah has been my bestie since we were 4! Growing up we had probably 1-2 sleepovers a week. She’s seen me in every phase of life and I’ve been blessed to see her in every phase of life as well! Growing up, we used to dream about really being family one day, turns out our dream became reality when she married my cousin! She’s like a sister to me, and I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her. Hannah is the strongest woman I know, and the hardest worker! No matter what’s on her plate, she tackles it head on! 🥺❤️ " -Nautica 

Hannah Jones

"I met Kaitlin our freshman year of college. We bonded over our love for becoming teachers one day. Kaitlin is full of spunk and will always tell you how she sees it! She’s mother hen and always takes care of her friends. I’m so thankful for her! 🥰" -Nautica

Kaitlin Nelson

"Rilynn is Landen's little sister. She is one of the funniest people I know and just lights up every room! Ri is an amazing volleyball player, and I love to watch her play. But more than that, she is beautiful inside and out. Her heart for the Lord shines through in everything she does. I am so excited to officially call her my sister, even though I've loved her like one for a while now! "-Nautica

Rilynn Finley

"Speaking of the ladies I can't wait to officially call my sisters, Reese is Landen's youngest sister. She is a spitfire of energy and love. She's one of the fastest girls I've ever seen on the volleyball court and track, but she's even faster to put God #1 in all she does. Reese can make anyones day with her smile and sweet heart! I can't wait to have her and Rilynn by my side." -Nautica

Reese Finley

"Devon and I have known each other for most of our young lives. Him and I really started to hangout during the track season of our junior year in high school. From that point on we have been really good friends. When it was time for college, he talked me into being his roommate and running track at SBU." -Landen

Devon McMillin

"I met Sean during my freshman year of college at SBU. He was my suite mate and we became roommates during second semester of freshman year. After that he has been my roommate for most of college. He has been the closest friend that I met in bolivar and he is still one of my best friends today." -Landen

Sean Mayer

"Markus moved to my home town when we were in 5th grade. We rode the same bus and went to the same elementary school. From that point on him and I have remained friends. As we have gotten older, we grew closer by finding similar hobbies such as lifting, hunting, and talking about being millionaires one day." -Landen

Markus Mitchell

"Me and Makhai met for the first time in kindergarten but started to really become friends around 1st and 2nd grade. We used to play outside and have lots of nerf wars. As we grew older we became closer. One of the things I love about him is that he has always been someone I looked up to." -Landen


Makhai Blansit

"I have known Justice since I was in middle school. Him and I really became close during the late fall of our junior year in high school. He was one of the guys that helped me come out of my shell and be myself around other people. Some of my favorite memories with him is painting up in the student section and cheering on our high school football team." -Landen

Justice Murray

"Jarrett is also one of the guys that got me out of my shell in high school. We became really close through wrestling and football in middle school and high school. Jarrett has always had a lot of energy and I think he is one of the reasons I am the way I am." -Landen

Jarrett Whitworth

"Although I technically haven’t known Evan as long as his brother Drew, he is another that I would call a brother. Him and I have also had our fair share of fun memories. One of them having to do with us creating a sled from an old car hood and pulling it with our side by side. Thank goodness we made it out of that experience with all our limbs!" -Landen

Evan Buchanan

"Drew is one of the few friends that I have had since day one. When we were little kids we used to be obsessed with Thomas the train and legos. As we grew older we found new hobbies. Such as airsoft, building forts by the creek, and driving four wheelers. When I think of my child hood, I think of the memories we all shared at the creek." -Landen
