Leah is my little sister. I love her with my whole heart. I like to call her my favorite sister, to which she reminds me that I am her only sister, so being a favorite pretty much doesn’t count. I love playing Minecraft with her and just being around her. Seeing her is one of the best parts of coming home for breaks!

Caleb is my older brother. Whenever we get to talk, it always lasts at least an hour with our favorite topic being our faith in God. I thoroughly enjoy every bit of time I get to spend with him. Over the last few years, he has become a close friend I love being around.

Mykah is Zach’s little sister. She is a sophomore in high school. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I have loved getting to know her and can’t wait to continue to grow closer to her!

Jadon is my younger brother. Throughout our time in junior high and high school, Jadon and I loved throwing the football, baseball, or playing basketball together. He now attends Sterling College with me and we are becoming closer in ways other than sports.

Elizabeth is one of my best friends from high school. We met in 5th grade and quickly bonded over our love of reading. She is someone who loves everyone and is SO easy to talk to! She is a great listener and I know I can talk to her about anything. Plus, she’s an amazing singer and trombone player, which I think is so cool!!

I got to know Levi at the beginning of my freshman year at Sterling. Together, we formed a men's accountability group which has made a huge impact on my walk with God. Over our time at college, he has become one of my closest friends.

Alisa and I became best friends in our freshman year of high school. We played volleyball and basketball together, so we spend many many hours riding back from games watching Trolls or Moana, or just messed around. Today, Alisa is one of the people who pushes me to grow in my faith and I am thankful for her everyday!!

Kolton and I became friends through the many shared classes we had in college. We soon ended up in the same friend group where we became much closer friends. I've gotten to share many exciting experiences with him over my time at Sterling. We have helped each other grow more in our faith and I deeply admire his boldness in sharing the Gospel.

Morgan and I met my freshman year of college. She and I played volleyball so we had a quick connection that led to us becoming best friends. We have shared many fun memories like trying Fruit Loop and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Flavored milk or recently watching D1 volleyball together in her room. She is a very fun person and I’ve loved getting closer to her.

Toby and I have had the privilege to lead a men's Bible study at Sterling. We have bonded in many ways through this and he is someone I really enjoy talking with. He asked me to be a groomsman at his wedding last summer and I have been able to pick his brain on his new experience as a married man.

Sophia and I met briefly on a Spiritual Retreat but we became much closer through the many many game nights we had. Game nights led into walking and talking and that led into us becoming the best of friends. Sophia has a kind heart and I always see her serving everyone around her, whenever she can. She has had a huge impact on me and my faith.

Dakota is someone I have been able to look up to as well as become good friends with. He leads Young Life (a Christian organization) in the area, and I have been able to work alongside him in that. He helped encourage me as I began to pursue my relationship with Paige. He is also on his way to becoming a pastor after graduation and seminary.

Aubrie and I first met our freshman year of college, but we didn’t become super close until this past fall. She is someone who I have always looked to in her walk with the Lord. She is honest and real, and loves Jesus with her heart, soul, mind, and strength. To top it off, she is hilarious and so so fun to be around.

Dakota has been a friend of mine since 2nd grade. We went to the same grade school, middle school, and high school. Over the years, Dakota and I have been able to keep in contact and occasionally see each other on some breaks. I am very gratefull that God crossed our paths in life and for the friendship that has lasted for so long.

Shawn has been a close friend since freshman year. He has been apart of and also lead our men's accountability group. Shawn does an amazing job at caring for those in our group and for others. He's as loyal as they come and has helped me through some of my most difficult struggles. Unfortunately, due to private matters, he will not be able to make it to the wedding.
