The little, taller brother and best friend. Since growing up together, we have been inseparable. From defending him with a recorder in grade school to freezing our butts off in a tent together in Wyoming,

The younger, but taller sister, has been a built-in best friend. From playing with Barbies in the basement to walking on the ISU college campus together. Growing up and going through life together has been the best gift.

We were in the same seminar in high school. Where 'Food Boi' has now turned into a father. We have bonded through our shared careers and through going hunting together.

After becoming dorm roommates at ISU years ago, we were inseparable. Whether it was staying up late to study for an exam or staying up late playing cribbage, just to crash on our lofted beds.

While we were not close during high school, we grew closer after graduation when we became roommates for two years. We lived together through COVID and graduated from DMACC together.

Moving into our apartment at the Quarters together was a huge first for us both. We navigated classes, work, friendships, and family. From staying out too late to singing and cooking dinner together, it was and is always a great time together.

My future brother-in-law. We have shared countless laughs since dealing with the Wing girls. They keep us on our toes.

We were both working at Ames Pet Resort and were both shy. Eventually, we worked our first and only close shift together and trauma-bonded and haven't shut up since! So thankful to have this smiley girl in my life.

At 17, I called Jeff and asked for a job. Although he was probably upset I interrupted him mowing, he gave me a chance. Since then, he has mentored me in my career and in becoming an adult.

I had been working at Ames Pet Resort for about a year and then this girl came into my life and never left. She is my voice of reason and never shies away from telling you how it is.
