My first memory of Caitlin was when we were in the same third grade class when I moved to a new school. Together we played the clarinet, sang in chorus, served in the fifth grade service club, and played on the same softball team in sixth grade. The two of us became even closer during our days at Centereach High School. After graduation, we continued to remain best friends and create long lasting memories. Even though Caitlin and I live miles and states apart, our friendship grows stronger and I consider her not only my best friend but my sister.

I met Nicole while working at The Learning Experience. One night while at a local bar, a cover band was playing and we danced together all night long while getting exicted over the same songs. This is when I knew Nicole would and I would be great friends. From that moment, every weekend night was deidcated to dancing the night away. After a few years of great friendship, she decided to move to North Carolina. It took eight months until I decided to follow her. Nicole welcomed me into her house with no hesitations. If it wasn't for her, I would not be where I am right now. 

Lauren is my little cousin. Well, we may have grown and matured, but she will always be my little cousin. Over the past few years, we realized we have more in common than we ever thought. This also brought us closer together. 

I met Beth through her husband Tim. Tim and I taught fourth grade together during our first year at ZES and after months of hearing about Beth, I finally met her. It only took a few minutes during the Christmas party for us to become instant friends. Together we have a strong love of Wine and Design and karaoke. 

Addy is my first niece. Addy is growing up to be such a fine young lady and I am so proud of her. 

Laney is Eric's 2nd cousin and an all around pretty cool kid.

Gabby and Kynley are on Petal Patrol. They are the daughters of Lauren and my Goddaughters. They bring forth the meaning of sugar and spice and everything nice!!

Will and Jax are the offical security guards of the wedding rings. They are the sons of Nicole. One of my most memorable summers was when I was living with Nicole and took care of Will as an infant.

Mark is Eric's little brother and a builder of longboards.

Chris is Eric's cousin and can quote the entire movie Willow.

Mike is Eric's friend and looks like, "What if Oompa Loompas were from New Jersey."

Brian is one of Eric's friends and once met Petey Pablo.
