I met Amanda my Freshman year at MSU. We lived in the same dorm and were both teaching majors. Currently, Amanda lives close by and is always there for me when needed.

Yes, I have 2 maid's of honor. Annie has been my best friend since we were 9 years old. Currently, Annie lives in Charlotte, North Carolina so I haven't seen her for a few years, but distance only makes the heart grow fonder.

I met Renee my freshman year at MSU and we shared a lot of the same classes. Renee has always been such a caring, supportive, and loving friend.

You will see it is a pattern that most of my wedding party I met my freshman year at MSU, and Lindsay continues that pattern. Lindsay currently lives near by in Metro-Detroit and is a daily part of my life.

Cassie has been my friend since we were 11 years-old. Cassie currently lives in Nashville, but is lucky enough to still have family in Farmington Hills, so I get to see her at least once a year! I can always count on Cassie to make me laugh.

I met Michelle at MSU, but not my freshman year. Michelle was one of my roommates our 5th year at MSU and we did our internships alongside one another and graduated together as teachers. Michelle is married to her college bf and just moved to northern California.

Continuing the pattern is Karyn, who lived on my floor my freshman year at MSU. Karyn also lives nearby and we speak almost every day.

I met Heather at MSU and I've been lucky enough to visit her in all the different locales she has lived in. Currently, Heather lives in Tampa and she let's me visit the Sunshine State every year (minus covid).

Sara was my roommate for 4 years and 3 apartments in Chicago. I met Sara almost immediately once moving to Chicago and we ended up doing everything together. She probably knows where all the "bodies are buried" from my 20s and early 30s. Sara is getting married soon, hence the (Larson).
