Abby has been with me for life! (Whether or not by choice). From sharing a bedroom as kids and hosting our very own news channel to planning yearly birthday trips with our significant others, as we've grown older, we've grown closer. She has been there since the very beginning of Nathan and I's relationship. From the first date jitters to our wedding, she has been there offering advice and support along the way. There is no one I would love more to stand by me on my wedding day!

I have known Erin for nearly 10 years now! We first met in Georgia where I was stationed with her husband Michael. I met her the same day I met their beautiful and sweet German Shepard, Liberty! Luckily, we all continued our military journey to Virginia where Nathan and I met. Through many sporting events, dog sitting, and holidays; our friendship grew into something that will last a lifetime! Erin is the most kind-hearted and considerate soul around. Couldn't imagine asking anyone else to be my bridesmaid!

My little brother. I can still fondly remember waking up at 5 in the morning most days before school to go to the gym together. I think Dad went through 3 different cares in that period. I've always admired your compassion for the things that interest you and am grateful for the things we have in common. We're still waiting for you to come live with us!

My big brother. Thank you for always making the time when you can to try and meet up. You are incredibly smart, funny, and know exactly when to ugga and when to dugga. I really appreciate that we've gotten closer over the years, and I hope that you know that I look up to you in a lot of ways.
