Meet Jazz! She is Ryan’s youngest sister. The first year Ryan and I were dating she was on her mission. I only heard stories about her and connected them to pictures.

Im so grateful to gain you as my sister! I love you, Jazz!♥️

Meet Ashlyn! This girl is so passionate, motivated, and driven. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks and it’s so inspiring. I love how much research and dedication she puts into all of her beliefs and when she talks about them you can feel her passion. I’m glad my dad met your mom and that we are sisters! You were the first person I went zip lining with, even though it was just in Vegas I’ll always remember it. I love you, Ash!♥️
