Sam and I instantly became best friends the summer before our freshman year of college. She has always been my biggest supporter and has been with me through both the good and the bad. I would not be the person I am today without her in my life. She is graduating this spring from Pensacola Christian College with a Bachelor's degree in Legal Office Administration and will continue to stay there as a staff member.

Cassidy has been one of my best friends since high school. We met in youth group at church. We became inseparable which led to numerous sleepovers, late night movies, homemade buttered popcorn, and talking about our crushes. She eventually fell in love with my brother whom she married in September of 2020! I am so blessed to be able to call her family! Her and my brother welcomed their firstborn, Brooklyn Jane on December 27, 2021.

She spends her time making homemade remedies for her family, taking care of her guinea pig Lulu, and her family's 19 chickens and one rooster. She also enjoys gaming, the outdoors, and tv series'. She has a spunky personality and I can't wait to officially have her as a new sister.

My mom lives in Kalispell, Montana with her husband Louie and Old English Bulldog Clyde. She is a feisty little woman who would fight anyone for me. We've been able to go on hikes, eat good home cooked food, and go shooting.

My dad lives in Osceola, Iowa with his wife and kids but has traveled all over for work. He has been able to visit me several times while I've been away at college. We've spent our time eating messy chicken sandwiches, spending time at the beach, and eating at yummy restaurants. He has always told me to go after my dreams. I never doubt the love he has for me and his family.
