My best friend since '05 when she taught me how to jumprope. Elena is the sister that I always wanted. She is my voice of reason. Whether it's eating junior mints under her bed, pretending to be detectives, or cooking dinner over FaceTime- we are girls together.

Born to be best friends, even if it is long distance forever. Dominic is the funniest person I know. Words cannot even begin to explain how much our friendship means to me. They are my good judy for life! When I am in the worst mood, Dominic is the person that can effortlessly get me out of it. (Sorry Bren). We are two sides of one super shiny coin.

Macy and I met because of our love for reading and our love for Glee. We stay cackling in the Chattanooga Wallgreens semi annually. Even though I only see her about once a year, she is such a special part of my life. We just get each other!

Jackie is hands down the kindest person that I know. Nobody has a heart as beautiful as hers. She has taught me so much about friendship and the value of making great friends in adulthood. Jackie is the best aunt to Cheddar, my favorite shopping companion and just hands down the very best person I know.

I hit the sister in law jackpot! Julie is so incredibly funny and kind. I love our debriefs and chats. It's so cool to finally have a sister! (Especially one who knows Glee lore as throughly as I do.) She is the coolest crocheter out there, and one great cat parent!

Matt has been one of my best friends, partner in crime, and an amazing person for as long as I can remember. Anyone who knows Matt is aware he can make anyone laugh no matter what mood you are in. Matt is the kind of friend who always shows up, knows exactly when to crack a joke, and has probably the worst dance moves you’ll see at the reception.

Every guy needs a ride or die the friend who’s been there through the highs, the lows, and all the unforgettable moments in between. That’s exactly who Daniel is to me. From insane study sessions to somehow pass our classes, to late-night talks, and just that one more league game, he’s the guy who always has my back, no questions asked. I could not ask for a better friend, thanks for always being there Daniel.

Growing up with Devon meant many memories, a few fights, and late night jam sessions. But no matter what heinous things we said to each other, I’ve always known I could count on him. He certainly is a tough man to track down these days, but when you can wrestle him away from his friends it is always a good time.

Since he came home from the hospital, Logan has always been the baby of the household. Watching him grow up has been an adventure. He was always a good sport getting drug to all the soccer tournaments as he grew up. Even though you could take yourself a little less serious at times, I still love you.

Jeffrey has always been a huge inspiration of mine growing up. He has introduced me to countless hobbies of mine: board games, soccer, and late night M+ runs for that weekly key. Whether it was looking out for me, pushing me to be my best at soccer, or just making sure I did not grow up to be a turd he’s always been there.
