The person who I get coffee with, sing my heart out to Shania Twain with, bowl with, laugh with, walked into classes late while each holding a Dunkin' coffee in our hands with.

My roommate throughout all of PT school. She saw me at my best, my worst, and all the times in between, and stuck by my side throughout it all. Also the person who made me a diehard Seahawks fan!

My best friend since girl scouts. She's been there for me through thick and thin, whether we lived 10 minutes apart or 10 hours apart. We all need a Mikayla in our life!

My future sister-in-law who is the most talented person I know. She is sweet as can be and welcomed me into the family the second I met her.

My best friend since we met in high school. We've roomed together and worked together (Pepsi Strong). We always know what the other is thinking and can make the other person laugh often with just a look. Blanton has always had my back through everything and been the closest friend a person could ask for.

Someone I connected with almost as soon as we met. We bonded early in college over football (common theme here) and card games, and finished our last two years rooming together. He quickly became one of my closest friends and a person I know I can rely on for anything in my life. He can also griddy harder than anyone.

My closest friend for the longest portion of my life. We met in middle school in a class where I didn't know anyone, and became band nerds together shortly after. Though we've often lived in different places since high school, our friendship has remained as strong and the same as when we met.

My future brother-in-law. Just in the brief time knowing him, he's been one of the smartest and kindest people I've met, with a quietly hilarious sense of humor. I felt a part of the family immediately upon meeting him and have enjoyed bonding over our mutual interests of board games and film.
