Taylor and I are childhood best friends and grew up inseparable. Our friendship has spanned middle school, high school, colleges, and countless states as we've supported each other side-by-side, over hours-long FaceTime calls, or just sending videos saying "that's you". Some of my favorite memories are of us as honorary members of each other's families, dragging each other along for mundane chores and errands, and making everything more fun by doing it together. From getting Jeeps stuck to crashing dirt bikes to tag-teaming a waitressing job, we make an excellent chaotic, giggly team. Taylor is currently an airline pilot, which is somewhat jarring after taking driver's ed together. Taylor has shared some of my most ridiculous, embarrassing, and memorable moments with me throughout my life, so I'm excited to share one of the biggest days of my life with her once again.

Joey and I started hanging out in grade school but really began the troublemaking in high school. Joey and I routinely began planning our after school and weekend adventures together. Whether it be fishing, hunting, golfing, or going for a late night BK ice cream run we were always in the truck together. After graduation we decided to explore the world in our own ways with Joey taking a major role in his family business of construction and me leaving for the Army. Through all this time we talked routinely every day with a phone call or by playing hockey together on Xbox. Every trip back home entailed a detailed plan of how we could use our time together and go back to doing the things we loved as kids before we somehow grew up. The adventures are surely not over as we continue to talk daily and plan our next golf, hunting, or fishing trips with the addition of our growing families. One thing is for sure, Joey and I are best friends and always will be.
