Matron of Honor
Amanda is not only my sister, but my first friend. Since childhood, she has always been there for me. We have so many memories together - from all the shenanigan's when we were teenagers to traveling across the world together to visit Amber and Jake in Indonesia. She's the one I can tell literally anything and know that she will support, encourage, and challenge me when needed. Laughter is always plentiful, and I will forever be "Granny" to her. :D

I knew Amber and I would be close from the first day I met her (the day she was born!), and I wanted to carry her around everywhere and never let her go. Amber and I have shared so many adventures together, including one summer while I was home from college when we made a long list of summer activities (and I think we did them all!). Amber is an encouragement, and I'm so thankful she's my sister.

Noele and I met ten years ago when I was enlisting someone to help me teach English at the Salvation Army. When she called and told me she was interested in helping, I was expecting her to be a sweet middle-aged woman. What I wasn't expecting was to meet one of my best friends through the experience. We've shared so much since then; I finally just decided to buy the house right next door to her and Ivan so that we can keep doing life together, and it's so much more convenient!

Mishawn and I met during our freshmen year of college when we were roommates. The thing that really strengthened our friendship from the start was cleaning up a gallon of spilled milk in our dorm room. Since then, we've been there for each other through all the random "spilled milk" situations of life. She's a real treasure and a joy, and I'm so thankful for every wild ride we've been on together. We're in it for the long haul.

Not only my cousin but also one of my best friends, Chari and I have shared countless memories together. When we were kids we'd joke about going to college together. I'm not sure why it was a joke because we ended up going to college together and were even roommates for 3 years during college. From making movies in our childhood to visiting her in Japan and then in North Carolina, we've experienced a lot of life together, and I'm so thankful.

Jess and I met our freshmen year of college when we were in the same hall. However, it wasn't until the year after college that we truly became kindred spirits. We became roommates the year after college, and we shared so much in that year, from a bee invasion in the apartment to strange neighbor interactions and supporting each other through the drama of Downton Abbey. That wild year really sealed the deal for a friendship that will last forever.
