Cam was my wombmate. Cameron is a Systems Analyst for WVU Medicine. He has an adorable chocolate lab puppy named Newt as well as lives with the three cats we both grew up with, Zoey, Suki, and Sasha. Although we may not act like it, I knew Cam was going to be my Best Man since day one. He has had my back all his life and I will always have his.

Lindsay and I became close friends in Middle School. As "Petemasterr and Laurneyy" we immediately embraced each others personalities and quirks and became quite the duo.

One of my favorite memories with Lindsay would be having sleepovers at her house and staying up all night watching horrible Youtube videos and stuffing our faces with every snack possible.
