Dana and Kelsey have been best friends for almost 20 years now. Dana has agreed to lots of Kelsey's crazy ideas over the years including having to sit with a huge pot of miso soup in her lap while Kelsey drove. Dana is honestly the sweetest person you will ever meet. Kelsey is so lucky to have had such an amazing friend and support system. Enjoy this photo of them in chemistry class in high school.

Kendall and Kelsey were roommates in college. They met their first year of college and spent time studying for chemistry and going to Disneyland together.

Kelsey and Rylie were roommates their senior year of college. Rylie has a way of asking the most meaningful and thoughtful questions.

Antonio met Cody in elementary school but became friends in middle school after doing cross country together, but became much closer in high school after Cody moved away. Cody is one those people who has the amazing skill of being able to make friends with just about anybody. Not only are Cody and Antonio close, but they're also close with the others parents. Both have lived in each other's houses for months to a year at a time. He is no nonsense, blunt, and hilarious all at the same time. Cody is a very loyal friend who is always looking for the next thing to dive into.

Soni and Kelsey became friends through all of their science classes together in college. Soni has a way of making everyone feel invited and welcomed. Soni is always down for adventure, which one time meant Kelsey and Soni going on drive at 4am in the morning to end up in farm instead of the sunrise over sand dunes (thanks Siri for misleading us).

Gordon and Antonio met in Grad school at UIC, both being in the same 1st year cohort and starting the program together.

Gordon later moved into Antonio's apartment, becoming roommates for 6 months until he left to california. Antonio and Gordon remained close and continue to do so. Gordon is a level head person and very down to earth. He is a loyal friend who is always willing to listen, and always down for a good time.
