I first met Katherine in St Louis while working at Brown Shoe Company. The first time we met was on a roadtrip out to the KY Derby and we have continued to share many other adventures over the years!

Katherine is married to James Galli and they have 2 children Nicholas and Charlotte.

I first met Keeta while working at Luxottica in Mason OH. She was living in AZ at the time but we quickly realized we shared a passion for the outdoors, running, working out and exploring the city! She eventually moved to Cincinnati where we became roomies for a short time. Since then we have had some epic vacations and always find a reason to get together even though we live across the country.

Karen, my Cincinnati Roomie and step mom to Bailey Boy! Karen and I hit it off immediately after I replied to her Craigslist post for a new roommate in a 2 story townhouse that overlooked the city of Cincinnati! We attended almost every social outing in Cincinnati together, competed in triathlons AND both attended grad school at the same time! We both ended up moving on from Cincinnati but it will always be a special place to the both of us with the best memories! Karen is married to Chris McGarvey and they have 1 daughter Millie!

Krista and I met in Cleveland at a beer tasting event at the Aquarium! Although Krista was from the area she had just recently moved back and we explored all Cleveland had to offer with our ConBod gym family! Krista is always down for whatever and I am always full of ideas! We had some of the best times in the CLE and continue to find ways to spend time together, as if I never left, even if that means facetiming on a Peloton ride!

Jenny is a bestie all the way from back in high school in St Helens OR! I moved into the small town during my freshman year and although we didnt hit it off right away (ha ha) we slowly learned that we shared the same passion for travel. She volunteered to come with my family to Cape Cod one summer and our travel adventures continued on from there! Our friendship spilled over into our families who now also vacation together all over the world! Jenny is married to Tyler Hoyt and they have 2 children Winnie and Emmett.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi! Jess and I met in Eugene OR while we were attending the University of Oregon, Go Ducks!

We went on to be best friends and lived together in college for just under 2 years. She has since moved back to Australia but we try to see each other as much as possible. We always pick up right where we left off and stay up to date with each others lives through stories. pictures and the good ol' OR memories!

Laura is Kevin's older sister who now lives in Hamilton Ohio. She is married to Joe Nett and has 2 little boys who are our ring bearers! I first met Laura at the Rapien family Thanksgiving back in 2018. She was so welcoming just like her mom and made me feel like I was a part of the family from the beginning, even though Kevin and I had not been dating very long. I cannot wait to call her officially my sister on July 2! Fun Fact: If you see her at the wedding ask her about living in Australia!
