Katie and Ann have been friends since high school and their friendship has grown ever since. We have gotten each other through everything; from horrible boys to venting about working in the schools. Katie is the kindest most supportive best friend ever!Even when Ann moved to Denver, Katie and her continued to talk almost daily. Even their puppies are BFFs.

Tony and I have been boys for over 25 years. He is one of the most loving, trusting, caring, and crazy guys I have ever met. You know that saying about 'friends will bail you out of jail, best friends will be in jail with you'? Not that I'm saying we have been to jail, but I'm saying Tony is that guy in jail with you. Probably because someone messed with one of us. It never happened, I promise.

Justin and I go quite a ways back, as well. Justin was there on the day of my very first kiss, in his parents bak yard, to be exact. I find it pretty fantastic that he can be here by my side, when I finally I have found the one to kiss last.From getting dressed for high school football games in my parents front yard to "not failing" out of the University of Kansas, together. I can still hear the childhood claims of ... "Herrera made me do it!" Which, I usually did.

Danny and Ann met at Iowa State University, actually we technically met at a race track ( long story). They were both on the cheerleading team. Technically, they were never cheerleading partners, however unofficially they were :) They have stayed close friends ever since!

Bettendorf Middle School is where Justin and I met. I remember that day like it was yesterday...6th grade Keyboard class with one of my most-hated teachers, Mrs. Kaiser. Mrs. Kaiser barked an order at Justin, like she did all the kids, but Justin is not one to mess with. Especially, in what equates to piano class.He threw her a "don't make me show everyone I am better than you at piano, because I will" look. And we have been great friends ever since

Nicky and Ann are cousins. Ever since they were younger, they have always had the best time together and always knew how to make each other laugh ...Watch out for this ones laughing snorts! I don't know if Colorado is ready for these two Eskildsens together!

Keri and Ann met in High School, in Mrs. Howard's algebra class. Mrs. Howard was a scary teacher, but her scariness began a lifelong friendship between Keri Aka "princess Care bear" and Ann. Scary Mrs. Howard may have brought them together, but a love for puppy chow and Sbarros pizza is what made their friendship lasting :) Ann used to joke that she was going to live with Keri and Joe ( her high school boyfriend and now husband) for the rest of her life... I guess Joe doesn't have to worry about this anymore... You lucked out Joe :)

Dale, as he has been called from time-to-time, and I met back in middle school. We didn't become great friends until we shared defensive lineman responsibilities in High School. Weston's Big Poppi baseball swing 'sack dance' coupled with his model-quality/Justin Timberlake'esque looks , how could I not be hypnotized? He even got me into country music for a while!

Michael and I first met when we shared a crush on a few teachers. While Mike's love for the older woman may have stopped with the marriage one of my cousin's (for real), our ability to connect on a different level has yet to slow down. Last time we hung out, we figured out how to establish world peace.

Allison and Ann have been friends since high school. Allison was the first friend Ann made when she moved to Iowa ( Again We Met in Mrs. Howard's algebra class... I'm telling you this woman was scary and we all needed to support each other) and they have been friends ever since ....Allison and Ann were inseperable In High school! Actually they were pretty inseperable in college too even though they went to separate colleges! They have seen each other at their worst and best and wouldn't have it any other way :)
