Wed take trips on the weekends and wed always be going out to the lake.

It was pretty special.

I remember those being such fun days, just having a big group of us.

I think we were playing Pictionary at the barbecue with Mason.

I just remember those days so fondly.

The cast is a group whos so eager to laugh and prank and have a good time.

I was really sad.

I just loved how honest and transparent she was about everything.

I feel very lucky to have played her.

I feel really proud of them.

Eight seasons is an incredible feat and Im very happy to be a part of the family.
