Taylor and I were brought together by softball, especially while attending the same university to play. We grew very close over these years with many laughs, tears, late nights. I looked up to Taylor throughout this time and she became my "big" on the softball team. We have grown so much in the past years and I can't want to see how we continue to grow as friends and in our own lives.

Shelby and I grew up together shooting archery, playing, softball and anything else we could get into. As an only child, she was the closest thing I had to a sister growing up. We fought like sisters (still do) but we always make up and are off to our next adventure. Throughout my life I always knew that if I needed someone to call or be there for me, Shelby would always be there in a heartbeat. After all of the countless hours we have spent together, I am excited to have her standing with me during this special moment.

I met Kenzie through softball at Saint Francis and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We grew extremely close through these years as we traveled for games or were out at the Asian Market deciding what we wanted to try next, and doing some homework. After I graduated, we still spent many days making our own fun and spending time out on the lake. I am excited to see what Kenzie will continue to accomplish now that she has graduated and is planning to enter teaching! Now that we will both have summers off, we can continue to spend our time out on the lake to prepare for the future school year.

Ashley and I met through working at the YMCA childcare. During these early mornings we would work with the kids and play Rummikub. I never would have thought something so small would bring us so close together. We ended up carpooling to work together and there many early mornings when she was dragging me out of bed to make it to the school on time! After standing with her on her big day, I am so excited to have her standing with me.
