Carlye and Justine have known each other for over 20 years. They met when they were in first grade when their teachers would have dance-offs in the doorway at Ella Canavan Elementary. From there, they developed a life long friendship and became sisters quickly. Carlye was there for all the ups and downs as they went through the awkward middle school and high school years, all the way to Athens. Even living on opposite ends of the country, they continue to catch-up with Facetime's and visits when they can. 20 years of friendship and many more to go!

Starting in the same learning community at Ohio University, taking the same classes, and living in Pickering Hall, to living together the next 3 years, they have been inseparable since then.
