My sister from the same mister. Our relationship has seen many phases of life (even the unfortunate pre-teen era) to bring us to the genuine love and friendship we now share. I am grateful to have her as my sister and I can't imagine having anyone else by my side.

Best friends since we met in high school and never looked back! Have been able to travel the world together from Spain, Cuba, Switzerland, Ireland, etc.

My sister from another mister. My best friend in every sense of the word. From meeting sophomore year at college we sort of just clicked, and that was it. Headstrong, loyal, and hilarious-she is the "yin to my yang" and I can't wait to celebrate all of our special life events together.

My brother, my childhood friend, and loyal protector-Jake is a special piece of who I am today. Years may pass and our relationship evolves but he will always be the big brother I look up to and the partner in crime if I need it.

Been close friends since theatre tech class in high school and have kept in close touch since. Always catch up and bond over movies and The Peanut on Main.

Though "technically" my niece, Savannah was more like a bonus sister growing up-though we were often confused as cousins. She is a prime feature of my childhood and beyond, a key piece of who I am today. Though we have gotten older, I still can't seem to pull the "Aunt card" like my 5 year old self once hoped.

Carpooled to Rockhurst together freshman year of high school and have kept in close touch since. Have bonded over a mutual love of sports - Go Blue!

The baby sister I never had, though technically, my "not so little" niece. From helping with her first bath to watching her sing solo on the big stage-I am beyond proud of the young woman she is becoming. I am grateful to have her stand up beside me in this next chapter of life.

Survived being roommates together for three years of college! Got to travel through Spain, Morocco and Germany together while abroad.

One of my first and closest friends in medical school--I am honestly not sure that I would have made it to graduation without her. From long nights studying together to meal prep Sundays at our home on Stateline, Caroline has always been a positive light in my life. I am thankful for all of the memories made and those yet to come.

Met at Wake Forest freshman year and went into the same fraternity. Lived together senior year and have been close ever since. Watch out for his wicked moves on the dance floor!

My favorite co-resident and future "anesthesiologist in crime". Joy and I felt like lifelong friends as soon as we bonded during the Match season. I can't wait for all of the years and Chipotle dates to come.

Met at Wake Forest freshman year and went into the same fraternity. Lived together senior year and have been close ever since. Rounding out the fourth member of the 'House of Wizards' from college. Worked together at Campus Gas at Wake. Bonding over craft beers, running and a love of sports (even though he supports Liverpool)

Met at Rockhurst High School and became close friends following the Kairos retreat. Reunited in medical. A great friend and study partner.

My favorite Irish, Kelly's loving, alpha gal, gal. Time and distance never seem to dampen our friendship and I am so grateful for every moment. I can't wait to share our special days together!
