Kayla and I met when we were only 5 years old. From Girl Scouts to being in each others weddings, we have grown up together through all stages of life. Most recently, she got married in Pensacola and I got to be her maid of honor. I can't believe we are switching roles less than one year apart! If you know Kayla, you know she is truly beautiful inside and out. I can't imagine my life without her!

Growing up my brother and I did not always get along but through the highs and the lows Jacob has been a constant in my life and supported me no matter what.

Haley and I met in our freshman honors english class at Derby. We used to joke about growing up to be old ladies playing cards in a nursing home, and throughout the past twelve years, we have grown to be such close friends. I will always be thankful for the way Haley encouraged my walk with Christ in college. Because of the work God did through her, I have come to know and love Jesus with all my heart!

Chris and I met our Freshman year of college through the Razorback Marching Band. After being roommates for two years, Chris has become one of my best friends.

Rachel and I met at a pre-medicine student conference when we were both students at K-State. Little did we know just how much work God would do as our friendship grew. From MCAT study sessions at a local coffee shop, to finally being roommates this past year in KC, Rachel has been there for me in the highs/lows of life. Some of my favorite moments with Rachel have been spent playing scrabble and watching Schitts Creek in our living room. One of my favorite things about Rachel is her ability to always make me laugh when I have had a hard day! God has used Rachel to teach me more about discipline and serving others.

Jacob and I met at Camp War Eagle my first summer on staff in 2020. We instantly clicked and have been close friends ever since.

Kayla and I met during nursing school at KU-Salina. Since then, there hasn't been many moments we weren't attached at the hip. Some of my favorite memories with Kayla were spent at a local coffee shop or praising Jesus at The Ark Church in Salina. One of my favorite things about Kayla is her prayerfulness. She has taught me more about showing patience in all situations. She has grace for those around her, and teaches me more each day how to be more like Christ.

Dane and I met my Freshman year in high school in band. We both played the trombone and eventually became section leaders together our senior year. We decided to live with each other as Freshman at the U of A and went to church together.

Katie and I met at Camp War Eagle working as counselors to love kids in NW Arkansas how Jesus does. Her servant heart could not have been more obvious in the ways she went above and beyond. One of my favorite memories with Katie is going to the K-State/OSU game in Manhattan. She has a contagious laugh and golden heart full of love for the Lord. I admire her desire to fully know those around her. She seeks deep friendships with each person in her life, and I am truly blessed to know her!

PJ has been my best friend since the first grade. Growing up together we had fun in all that we did.
