Richard's little sister and my future sister-in-law! I honestly don't remember when we first met because she and Richard are so close I feel like she's always been in my life. In fact, I think she started texting me asking for boy advice before we ever even met in person! We spent two and a half weeks in Italy together, and it was so much fun.
