Alex and I met sophomore year at Wheaton through Honduras Project, and our friendship grew as we were cabinet team leaders the following year. After college we spent time together exploring Chicago, and later Alex even visited me while I lived in Honduras. Little did we know, we'd even attend the same university for podiatry/medical school. We led a women's small group and weekly lunch book study discussions and service projects. Alex was a bridesmaid in our winter wedding, and residency or a giant snow storm wouldn't stop me from standing up in hers either. Was a truly beautiful celebration.
