How does a mother pick ONE single favorite memory out of 18 years of beautiful memories? Is it finding out that I’m going to need to learn how to be a “girl” mom? The doctor asked if you were planned? Um no..but of course! God knew that I needed you! Goodness, He gave me your name in a beautiful dream! Is it the summer days on the farm, twirling in your summer dress around Grandma Anita’s lawn chair, holding your zucchini baby? Is it the late night talks? I’m almost asleep and sense you standing by my side of the bed finally ready to visit about your day after I’ve tried all afternoon to get you to visit with me! Is it the attempts to go clothes shopping? We both burn out so quickly but always find a way to eat and laugh uncontrollably. That “laugh” though, brings me so much joy! I can just sit and listen to your contagious laugh all day! Is it watching you achieve challenging milestones? Handing you your High School Diploma and knowing how many challenges you faced to get it. Listening to you give your speech about Grandma Anita and the priceless impact she made on your life! Is it watching you learn to let go? Is it watching you fall in Love.. the good and bad? Seeking God and understanding the selfless expressions of forgiveness for yourself and Him! Well, it’s all of these and so many more! You truly are a gift! Uniquely handcrafted by our Maker to be my sunny side up little girl! Love you more than Grandpa’s Noodles!

Madi Brooks
Bridesmaid
Aubrey and I have been friends for about eight years now after meeting playing softball. I will never forget the fun memories we’ve made on and off the softball field. One of my memories that I remember is how we spent at least four hours working on an unsolved case game. we had finished in the middle of the night after long conversations and laughs of why we thought the suspects were guilty. Justice was served that night and funny memories were made!

I have known Aubrey since I was about 9 years old where we met on a softball field. Though I love all of those memories, we made quite a few away from the game which started our bond of a life long friendship! One memory I have with her is when I convinced her to read a book series that I loved and as she read it, she sent me updates of every chapter (and I mean every chapter). I loved to hear about it and to see the emotions she had and how similar they were to me when I was reading! We even planned a time to read the series together! I loved our conversations about little things like books and knowing that we could talk about anything showed the true value of friendship! I’m very blessed to have Aubrey in my life!

Bridesmaid
I have known aubrey since I was 9 years old. I have so many memories with her it was so hard to choose only one but there is this one that I keep thinking of because it is so relevant to the wedding. One night when Madi Aubrey and I were having a big slumber party we got to talking pretty late at night. We had all of these mattresses on my floor and we just got to talking about our life’s and what we plan for the future. We started dreaming of all of our weddings. Madi was plotting on marry my brother. I was planning on marrying Gale from hunger games. Aubrey was planning on marrying this guy who she just freshly started dating. We pulled an all nighter and got every single detail we wanted in the wedding. There were things we knew weren’t going to happen as we got older but I am inspired that Hunter was always the one aubs wanted to marry. They couldn’t have been a better match for eachother. This story also gives me hope that I will still marry Gale from hunger game and madi will become my sister in-law.

After meeting Aubrey about six years ago in middle school we immediately clicked. Over the six years so many memories were made my favorite though is one of our most recent adventures. We decided to go camping alone together. Everything was great we spent our days swimming and fishing and laughing. Although when the night came it was a different story. It wasn’t so Funny anymore as we thought we were gonna get murdered. Aubrey and I sat in that tent on the verge of tears needing to use the bathroom thinking we were gonna die hahah. Finally the light came up and we packed up so quickly and got out of there. On the car ride home we were already planning the next camping trip.

I have known Aubrey for about 2.5 years. I married her brother so her and I didn’t grow close for a little while until one day when she invited me to have a sleepover and a girls night. It was one of the first times we did something together. It was such a special night and we made so many fun memories together. It made me feel so special that she wanted to spend time with me and I’m so happy that her and I are so close now!

I met Aubrey about 5 years ago in my parents garage my brothers birthday. I remember seeing that she had one of hunters freshman year football pictures in her phone case and after that day she slowly became family. One of my favorite memories was when she came to Hawaii with us, we shared a room and I remember waking up to see a lizard on the side of her bed. She woke up and I pointed it out and we both spent almost 10 minutes trying to catch it! We were crying laughing by the end of it. Never saw the lizard again!

Hunter and I have been friends for 3 years he’s been a very good friend to me and has gotten me out of a lot of situations. I’d have to say that my favorite memory with Hunter is when we went shooting together for the first time, I was in a rough patch in my life and I was able to talk to him about that while we were out there and it made me realize that certain things aren’t worth my time but friends like Hunter are always worth being around.

I have been friends with Hunter for as long as I can remember. We have known each other since we lived in the same town as kids. We then both moved all the way to Idaho when we were in middle school and this is when our brotherhood started to grow into one of the most epic friendships of all time. As middle schoolers some of my favorite memories together were working out for wrestling together, using whatever tools we could get our hands on to make some pretty sweet inventions, rolling down the tallest mountains in the snow, and building forts in the pouring rain. As we grew older it turned into buying various trucks, boats, and dirt bikes and taking them on some of the most memorable camping/hunting trips. through all of those lessons learned and memories made I’ve gained one of the best friends I could have and someone I can call a brother.

I have been friends with Hunter for about 15 years now. Growing up, he and I would spend almost everyday together until he moved to Idaho. One of my favorite memories with Hunter was the best fort that we ever built in 2015.

I’ve been friends with Hunter for I think 4 years now. I met him at a daycamp thing at rockharbour. He was one of the few kids in my group. I started talking to him and I later saw him at youth group. We started talking more and had similar Intrests like dirt bike riding. We would hang out and talk every week at youth group. My favorite Memory with him would be when we went dirtbike riding. He tried to do a wheelie, lost balance and rode into a hillside. We were both laughing a lot at that. I’m very grateful to have Hunter as a friend. He’s a lovely dude

I’ve known Hunter for about 5-6 years. We met in middle school and have stayed friends since. My favorite memories have to be when we go hunting together. There was a time when we first took out his duck boat and we were testing it on the water. We had a blast seeing how fast we could go and we ended up staying out until dark. Also the early morning hunts are always eventful. To the early morning drives or successfully hunts or not successfully hunts it has always been a blast.

I met Hunter when I was 13. He was one of my first friends after I moved to Idaho. One of my favorite memories with Hunter was camping and riding dirtbikes in Idaho City.
