Not 100% positive when we met since we were so little, but our paths crossed at a very young age, and we’ve been lucky enough to stay as close as family over the years! Hobbies & Interests: Tattooing, Video games, & hyper fixating on something until I’m really good at it then become bored and move onto the next task! We used to have game nights at my house where we would have tv’s and game consoles strung ALL over my living room. We’d drink our weight in whatever flavor suited us at the time and my poor wife would listen to us yelling and giddy like children until 3am! PRICELESS 😍

We’re cousins and we’ve been the best of friends for as long as I can remember! My hobbies and interests: baking, plants, reading, and being a pet mom I really can’t pick a favorite! No matter what we’ve been doing, Kaelyn and I are constantly laughing and being goofy. We used to have sleepovers and get in trouble for giggling instead of actually sleeping. She’s always been able to make me laugh, and I love that we can just be silly together.

How we met: mutual friend over 15 years ago. My hobbies: video games & spoiling my cats! A memory: Game nights at thad when we would pack up our PCs and playstations to game all night!

I think we originally met at Fuji when the boys went on one of their dates. They were too busy to worry about introducing us and talking about anime, so we just had small talk with Allison. My hobbies and interests are making resin, being dog mom, and reading! Honestly already have so many. My favorite memory is just all of our dates we get to go on with the boys! Whether it be golfing or snacking we always have such a fun time!

Met Gio through a mutual friend (Tadd aka Thad) around 11 years ago. Love being a dad to my little Lynni bug, and my puppers Margo. Love the outdoors, fishing, mowing (usually just the smell of fresh cut grass but I have to be an adult and now mow the yard.) And of course playing video games with the boys. When Gio had come over while we lived in Arcola, I had purchased cards against humanity, but it was cards against Disney version, and him and my wife and I could not contain ourselves while trying get through the game. All of our golf outings we have had are always a blast. Even if we suck, which usually we all shank, too or even just go waaaaaay right into other fairways, we never have a dull moment.

We met my freshman year when you were assigned to be my Physics big! My hobbies and interests: reading, boxing, skiing, thrifting My absolute favorite memory of us together is when we went on your campus crawl along with Jorge. Another one of my fondest memories is when you adopted George Budweiser and we were chilling in your apartment setting up his cage while we listened to music 🙂 (RIP George the gerbil!)

G and I served in the Marine Corps together, we met while we were forward deployed somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It was actually when he introduced me to Spotify and we started listening to music together. During our time, I was an attachment to his squad so we got to go a lot of places together which was never a dull moment. After we returned home, we were roommates for quite some time. I enjoy playing video games but also being outdoors, exercise, mixed martial arts, cars, motorcycles and listening to music. While G and I lived together in California, I convinced him to take a ride to Chino with me to pick up wheels and tires for one of my cars. On our way back, we were driving through a long tunnel, so naturally it seemed like a good idea to see how fast we could go through the tunnel. Little did we know, there was a huge dip in the road that acted more like a jump at the end of the tunnel and sent us flying which neither of us expected. After we landed safely we died laughing for too long afterwards.

We met during my freshman year of college! We’re both physics majors and you adopted me as your little 🥰 We’ve been friends ever since. My hobbies and interests: Crocheting, playing the violin, and running. Favorite memory together: This one isn’t even in college but after she graduated and we weren’t in the same state (and during Covid when we couldn’t see anyone), I really, really loved the long voice memos we’d send each other and the updates on our crochet projects. I always enjoyed the time and effort she put into sending me updates on her life even when we couldn’t hang out in person because it made me realize the friendship would last well beyond college.
