Miki Lynn grew up in La Porte, IN and is the oldest of five. She graduated from Marquette Catholic High School in 2004 and Hanover College in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Art and a minor in Art History. She plans to pursue further education in design and hopes to establish her own company.

Ian grew up in Indianapolis, IN as an only child. He graduated from Lawrence North High School in 2004 and Hanover College in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in History with a concentration in sciences. He plans to attend dental school in the near future and will one day have his own practice.

The two fell in love at Hanover in 2006 and have been inseparable since!

Mom is a kindergarten teacher with fuzzy curly hair at Lowell Elementary School and teaches kids their ABCs and their 123s. Dad is a vice president with platinum hair at National Wine & Spirits Corp; he knows more about wine than anybody and that's a fact! Together, they love to travel to Europe. I was very fortunate to have traveled with them on many trips. Mom loves to shop till everyone drops (or till the store drops their price) and cooks delicious meals. Dad loves to read and write everything from quick quips to epic poems!

They married August 11, 1973.

All Dad had to say was “pack your bags” and we would pee our pants! We were always excited to see Grandpa & Grandma Disbrow. Seeing them meant going to the Children’s Museum, the Zoo, eating Edy's ice cream, and playing on Grandpa’s computer. It also meant shopping with Grandma and listening to her play the piano. Grandpa built computers for fun but more notably he built beautiful jewelry boxes for us girls. They love nothing more than their 5 grandchildren.

They married June 2, 1956. Grandpa passed away in June 2001.

Grandma was born in Indianapolis & has lived there all her life. She graduated from Butler with a degree in English; don't try to correct her, she's always right! She raised 2 children & has 1 grandchild. Grandpa was born & raised in Indiana. He went off to North Africa during WWII & followed Patton up to Sicily where he fought the Italians under Mussolini. I never met Grandpa but Grandma told me he loved children. He & I would have had a lot of fun together! Grandma Gilson plays bridge, gives lectures at the literary club, throws dinner parties, and never misses her appointment on Thursdays to get her "hair-do" done by Charles.

They married June 30, 1946. Grandpa passed away on June 25, 1971.

Marissa completes “the 3 Disbrow girls.” She’s tan 24/7 365 days a year for no reason and adores animals (especially horses). Her princess is Jasmine and her boyfriend is Harry Potter. She loves to read and has read every book in the library. She’s a world-class dancer and a 4 year high school volleyball state champion. Marissa will continue the family tradition and graduate from Hanover College in 2013. She likes to dress up but can kick butt. When she was 3, Mallory and I made fun of her. To get back, she pulled us around in the pool by our ponytails...at the same time. It did not feel good.

Danielle and Miki meet in 8th grade at Notre Dame Elementary School in Michigan City, IN. We attended Marquette Catholic High School together and have remained the best of friends ever since. We tanned on the shores of Lake Michigan, climbed the dunes, conducted many sleepovers, dissected frogs, took 5 years of French class, and dumped a tool box at 4:00 a.m. to create a science project due at 8:00 a.m. She is a true friend who will listen and offer fantastic advice! Danielle attended Notre Dame University and graduated in May 2008 with a degree in Political Science and Music. Her favorite movie is The Princess Bride and her secret baby's daddy is Will Smith.

Jesika, a sportsaholic, and Miki met freshmen year at Hanover College and played varsity volleyball together. Bridesmaids in each other's weddings, we roomed together, shared secrets and clothes, partied, dressed up as Britney Spears, played wiffleball, gossiped, ran Hanover's campus, and watched Rock of Love...religiously. She's modern, fun, intelligent and is always up for a beer and baseball. She works at U.S. Bancorp in Customer Service and is earning her MBA at Xavier University. Jesika currently resides with her husband, Jerod, in KY.

Mark has had the pleasure of knowing me since he was one year old! He has always been taller than me! From playing catch at age 8 to discussing world politics and ethical dilemmas at age 18, Mark and I have hung out together our whole life. Ask anyone, and they will agree, there is never a subject that Mark and I disagree on. In my married future, Mark and I will still be two dudes hangin' out at the bar talking about old times and discussing plans for new times. Let's just say that Mark is the guy who will let me stay over when Miki throws me out for a night. Finally, Mark's secret baby's mama is actually a baby's daddy, Mr. Jerome Allen Seinfeld!

Chuck lived down the hall from me Freshman year. It didn't take long before we were hanging out together in the "crowtel's" third floor. When I realized Chuck was not going home for Fall Break, for him home is Utah, I invited him to come home with me. I think my parents loved him more than me! When Chuck was gone for two years on his mission in New York, we wrote letters to each other explaining new experiences and current events in our lives. When Chuck came back, he may have been a changed man, but we were still best friends. Chuck would be more than happy to accept me when Miki throws me out for a night, plus I'd get to see Shelly and Ashton, his beautiful wife and daughter! Chuck's secret baby's Mama is also his real baby's mama, Shelly!

You know you've said something funny & sarcastic when Isaiah grins like the Cheshire cat. You also know if you said something stupid because he'll shake his head slowly in disgust. Isaiah is down to earth, calm in all situations, and is as strong as the god Atlas. Isaiah, being married to Miki's Phi Mu "little sister" Kristen, gave us the chance to see each other a lot and to become quick best friends. His ability to listen and give sound advice is something not found in many people. Isaiah would take me in if Miki decides she needs "some time," but it wouldn't work too well because Kristen would stare me down and take Miki in instead! Isaiah's secret baby's mama is Kristen herself.

Deren sat behind me in Biology class for a semester and we didn't even know the other existed. Then, we both joined Lambda Chi Alpha and the rest is history. We bonded right away as Deren and I were in pre-med science classes together. We studied together, did fratty things together, and we drank together. Guess what, we still do all three together, even now! Deren is currently in medical school and is graciously helping me study for the DAT. We have deep conversations on one hand and on the other we watch movies without saying a word. Deren would definitely take me in if Miki throws me out for a night! Deren's secret baby's mama is a hot lady doctor!

Standing at 4'9'' 60 pounds and 10 years old, Mason is the baby of the 5 Disbrow kids...and the most ornery! A month after he was born, Mason played ‘Baby Jesus’ in Miki’s 8th grade school play. Now attending the same school, Mason is not well known by that ‘debut” but by his visits to the principal’s office. He’s the definition of an “All American Athlete” and enjoys playing baseball, football, and anything that involves physical contact. He likes "Cars," planes, battleships, slip n’ slides, copying his brother, gross fun facts, collecting rocks, and traveling. His favorite TV show is Scooby Doo. Mason appears to be a toughie but he loves to sing in the shower and attract the ladies!
