Straun is my Best-Man for a number of reason. We have been close since we met, but nothing has driven us apart. Even having our disagreements and fist fights here and there. anything it has brought us closer. We have shared many firsts in life together. I know no matter what Straun will always be there, even if we haven’t talked in a year. Straun has also helped bring out Sarah and I’s inner nerd. Whether we are playing board games for hours on end or Straun whipping up an amazing D&D (dungeons and dragons) adventure all from the seat of his pants.

As a lot of you know, Emily is one of my sisters. The oldest of us three! One of my favorite memories with her is when used to laugh so hard we almost peed our pants. I love that Em is always there to listen to me vent over the phone or to give me great advice on life. She is truly an amazing sister who always makes me think about the real hard life questions!

Sophie is my younger sister and I love her dearly. We too laugh a lot, that uncontrollable laughter. One of my favorite memories with Soph is when she came to Boulder to visit and we went hiking all day. Another great memory was in Florida when we got to save baby sea turtles after a bad tropical storm. The babies turtles were so tired that they almost died on shore. I love my little sister, she always makes me laugh and I love that she keeps me so humble and honest!

Kenny and I both met when I moved to Deer Trail. Kenny is the kindest man that I have as a friend. He helps me look at life in a kinder, more caring way. Don’t let the beard fool you, he is a teddy bear. 

PJ and I have been friend’s since I was in the Navy, stationed in California. My brother Jake was also working in California at the time and brought PJ to my house. Our friendship was really established once I got out of the Navy and started traveling building wind turbines with him. PJ and I grew our friendship when we started to put in some miles traveling around the south central area of the US.

McKay is one of my very many cousin's on the Linnebur side of the family. I have so many amazing memories with McKay. I used to take road trips up to Laramie, WY just so we could go to concerts together or just to go hiking for the day. I've even filled in as a wedding date when she needed the company. I love her so much because she keeps pushing me to be a better woman in life. To take chances and to never settle for anything less than what I deserve!

Becca, very soon, is going to be my new sister officially!!! I have known her for a lot of my life because we went to the same little church and school. Some of my favorite memories are going on women's retreats with her, all the many hikes and camping trip we have taken together. She has always been this ball of sunshine and I love how daring she is and all the risks she is will to take. She pushes me to face my fears by seeing how fearless she can be. I love her so dearly and I am excited to officially have 3 sisters now!

Danny and I met when I traveled to Camp Pendleton for Field Med training in the Navy. Danny and I made quick friends there. I mean every underage guy in the military (me being 18) is going to make at least one friend over the age of 21. Any chance we got, you could find us down on the beach drinking beers and kicking back. We were only stationed together for about 3 month. Once Danny was honorably discharged from the Navy, he reached out to me. At that time, I was working on wind turbines. I would always post photos of the wind turbines and Danny wrote to me saying , “Yo that looks tight! I want to come work with you!” So that day I went to the office to tell our site supervisor that I had a great hand to hire. Just like that we were back where we left off. Danny joined our team and fit in right away. Myself, Danny , and PJ were able to work and travel around as roommates. 

We picked Brandon's niece to be our flower girl. We have countless memories with Kinsey. One of our favorites is the time we had sleepovers together and our quality time doing each other's hair. Kinsey is a true princess and sweetie at heart!

We picked Sarah's nephew and godson to be our ring bearer. Some of our favorite memories with Noah have been taking him camping at Grandby Lake. We both love Noah and how happy and silly he always is.
