Kirsten is another reason I am who I am today. She is my sister and one I look up to the most. She introduced me to most of the music and tv shows that quickly became my favorites! She is one of my biggest cheerleaders and is always in my corner. How lucky am I to have two of the best sisters in my life?!

Jess is my beautiful, brilliant sister. She is the most hard-working and diligent person that I know. She encourages everyone around her to be the best version of themselves. She has always been my biggest fan and has cheered me on in any season of life. I love her so much and wouldn't be who I am without her.

Hannah has been a huge part of my life for many years now. From our youth group in high school, joining the same sorority, and living in Ecuador together- she has been there every step of the way. Hannah is encouraging, honest, and kind. She has always been there for me and I couldn’t imagine this season (or any season of life) without her by my side!

Catherine was basically a part of Jared and I’s relationship, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Catherine loves people well and has pointed me towards the Lord for years now. From the fun middle school days, cheering in high school, being college roomies, and everything in between- she has played a big role in my life. Praise the Lord for this lifelong friendship!

There are not enough good things I can say about my friend Katherine! Since the day I met her, I knew she was going to be a friend for life. Throughout college, she was my go-to girl. Katherine (and her now husband, Martin) are two of my absolute favorite people. I look up to them so much and feel so blessed to call them my friends. Katherine is like a big sister to me and brings joy to all of my days!!

Emma Denson is the biggest blessing to me! She is thoughtful, kind, and brings so much joy to my life. We have been friends since 3rd grade and some of my favorite memories include Emma. She is the kind of friend someone is lucky to have and I am so excited to have her by my side!

My other engaged friend! Lucy is one of the sweetest people that I know. She cares for others so well and has a heart of gold. She is engaged right now too, and it is so fun to do all the planning at the same time! She is such a light in my life and I am so thankful for her!

My sweet Emily! She is my little cousin, but more of a little sister. She brings joy to our family and always keeps me in the loop. We share a love for all of the 90’s-2000’s movies and music and I love her for it!! It is an honor to call her a friend and family.

Madeline is such a joy-filled human! She brings fun wherever she goes. She has an infectious spirit and makes everyone laugh. She is a kind friend and always encourages me with scripture and prayer. To know Madeline is to love her!

My engaged friend! I have been so lucky to call her a friend since 4th grade. She is fun, full of spunk, and makes everyone feel loved. Our weekly walks have become one of my favorite things. Grace is engaged right now too, so it is has been such a special season for this friendship.

This girl has been by my side since the crazy middle school days. She is loyal, encouraging, and always down to have a good time! Hannah loves people fiercely and will truly do anything for anyone. She is the type of friend everyone needs in their life, and I am so lucky to have her in mine!

My girl Nat! In college, if I was somewhere there is a good chance Natalie was right there with me. Most of our days in college were spent together- whether it was in education classes, leading dnow together, or writing papers until 3am. She quickly became one of my closest, lifelong friends. Natalie is trustworthy and kind. She never meets a stranger and I love her for that. I am so thankful the Lord answered so many prayers with this friendship.

Brianna is my sweet cousin who makes everyone smile. From the time she was born, we were inseparable. We have been through a lot together in our lives, and the Lord has used these things to create a bond between us that runs so deep. She is a light everywhere that she goes, and I am beyond thankful to not only call her a best friend, but family. I love you, Bri!

Kelcie is the kind of person that anyone is lucky to know. She is always down to have a good time or be a listening ear. Kelcie and her husband Tristen (featured in the picture) are our very best friends. They are always cheering us on and speaking truth into our lives. I can’t wait to walk through the rest of life with the Wests by our side!

Our precious niece! Liv is so special to us and we love her so much!!

Tristen has been my brother since 7th grade. He lived with our family throughout middle and high school and since then we have been inseparable. He is my closest friend and one of my role models. No one loves as deeply as Tristen. No one is as fun as Tristen. I am not sure what I would do without Tristen in my life and as a part of my family. He leads me closer to the Lord. He's the best.

Josh is my oldest brother. He is also one of my closest friends. He has always been one of my biggest supporters. He has known Sara for a really long time as well. He helped me in my pursuit of Sara with giving me advice on how to love Sara with my whole heart. He is always giving me good advice and helping me grow closer to Christ. He is someone I look up to and I couldn't ask for a better brother. He's the best.

Jake is my other big brother. He is one of the best looking and hard working guys you will ever meet. He is also one of my biggest supporters and closest friends. He has always been someone that I feel like looks up to me just as much as I look up to him. Jake and I have a similar sense of humor and we are always laughing with each other. I love this dude more than he knows.

This is my dude. Noah was my roommate while I was living in Colorado in 2019. We did not know each other when we decided to share a house in Winter Park, but we immediately became best friends. We had a blast together. We both worked at the ski resort and served at Fraser Valley Church together. He is one of the most Christ centered people I have ever met. I learned so much about the Lord while living with him and grew in my relationship with God in that season because of his leadership in my life. He also was there for me while being away from Sara for 6 months. Those were hard times and he got me through it.

Anthony and my brother, Jake, were best friends growing up. When I graduated high school, Anthony and I moved in together and we became super close. Over the years we became closer and closer and he became one of my best friends. He knows all about the early stages of my relationship with Sara and he was a big supporter of our relationship. We bonded over many things, like Fortnite, Colorado, and just trying to be cool people. Him and his wife are travel nurses so its hard to see him often, but he will always be one of my best buds.

Christian was the first friend I ever had. We met in pre-school and have stayed buddies our whole lives. His family became my second family. He is someone I can open up to about anything. We have some crazy memories together. He is always down to hangout and is a super loving person. He cares for Sara just as much as he cares for me. He is a blessing in our lives. I'm thankful to call him my bestfriend.

I met Bree in 10th grade and honestly, I didn't like him.He's like 7 feet tall and and is loud. But somehow, we managed to become friends our senior year of high school. In college I stayed with him in Tuscaloosa probably once or twice a week. We became best friends and he made a huge impact on my life while I was dating Sara. He was always there for me, but also always supporting my relationship with Sara. He fought for our relationship with me. He also helped me move to Colorado and we made memories that I will never forget. I love Bree with my whole heart.

I have only known Jacob for a few years. He started dating Madeline (now his wife), a friend of Sara and I. We became instant friends as soon as we met. We share a lot of the same interest and he is fun to be around. We have been on many dates and trips as couples and Sara and I spend most of our time with the Ingrams. We go on trips together every year and I'm looking forward to traveling with them for the rest of our lives. Jacob is one of my closest friends now. I am super grateful that God allowed our paths to cross.

Bailey and I became best friends in middle school. We joined a bible study together and have been close ever since. I think 90% of our friendship has been shared over laughter. He is one of the funniest people I know. I have countless hilarious stories of Bailey. He is one of the most driven people I know and because of it, he coaches football at UCLA which makes it hard for us to see each other. But we go way back. He will always be my dude.

Josh and I met at Valleydale. The second I started my job there, we became boys. We developed a really close friendship in a very short amount of time. I am the creative producer and he is the tech director. So, our jobs go hand in hand. He is super encouraging and selfless. He's one of the best guys I know and I am thankful for his friendship and leadership in my life.

The sweetest boy in the world! We love our Roman and are so lucky to be his aunt and uncle!

Baby Cayman! He is always smiling and is the best baby. We adore him and it is a joy to be his aunt and uncle!
