I’ll miss how competitive you were when it came to phase 10, our weekly or even daily FaceTime calls where we would talk about anything and everything, and our shared love for trivia, 2000s pop music, and The Hunger Games. We had so many amazing times together between the Friday afternoon movie days in Ames, being neighbors in Ankeny, and every single dinner, game night, or joint birthday party we had.
