From what started as using Rob for answers in 10th grade chemistry class quickly turned into something long lasting. Rob is a constant in my life and a true friend that loves and cares so well. He is also the best handy man I know. I do still occasionally use him to rotate my tires or change my oil.

Ryan is the oldest of us Klaehn brothers. He is wise beyond his years, louder than anyone I know, and so funny. I am grateful for all the ways he loves not only myself, but all those around him as well. If you ever get a chance, get a big Ryan hug because you won't regret it!

Jackson is the middle of the Klaehn brothers and balances us brothers out. His hard work, drive, and determination are just a few things I admire about him. Thankful to have a brother to look up to and learn so much from in this next phase of life. Honored to have him stand by my side on this day!

Evan is Brooke's brother and he is also someone I have had the pleasure of getting to know for the past 2 years. Although I have not known him for a long time, I have enjoyed all of the times I have gotten to spend with him and am so excited for him to be my future brother in law!

Turner and I naturally became friends through our love for the Eyssens, pickleball, and college sports. Our friendship is one that I am so blessed with and I am grateful I have a pickleball partner for life.

Couldn't picture another Christopher standing by my side on this special day

Ian and I became friends senior year of high school when I began sitting at the same lunch table as him and our friends. Had I gone to UTK we would have been roommates but the Lord knew that would have been a dangerous duo!

I didn't know much about Hayes Dalton until the third Saturday of October in 2023 when he and my buddy Ian stayed the night with me in Tuscaloosa. Since then, I could not imagine my life without him with all the laughs and memories made.

I met Jennings through the grapevine of all UT friends when I would come home for break. This friendship is one that has brought much laughter, sweet memories, and a lot of competitive pickleball matches. Jennings is caring, kind, athletic, and radiates joy to every person he comes into contact with. Blessed to call him a friend.

Avery Jameson was introduced to me during a great phase of life called Covid. Since then I have been so blessed to have his friendship in my life. He's an avid hoops fan with a big personality that drives everyone to him. Did I mention he's the best basketball trainer in the greater East Tennessee region?
