My bestest friend from all the way back to elementary school, this is my ride or die girl. Even living in Washington state, our friendship never skips a beat!

This girl and I go all the way back to first grade....many years of sports together...and I even suckered her into working at Kathy's place restaurant with me, this girl knows everything about me, abd visa versa but I wouldn't have it any other way! My texas roadhouse date for life! :)

Another sacred heart girl! Gosh it's crazy to know we've been friends for just about 30 years!!! We also grew up playing sports, our dads even "coached" our basketball team. This gal has been my rock since a couple others decided to move away from ohio...but I've been blessed to see erika become one of the best mother's out there, she really does have a heart of gold!

Look at this ball of sunshine!!! She brings the florida vibes with her everywhere she goes! We go all the way back to first grade, but the teachers quickly learned to keep us in separate classes because when we're together all we do is laugh!! She is also one of the most amazing mother's to her beautiful daughter. Anyone lucky enough to know her will always have her contagious smile on their face!

We had an instant bond, she wears her heart on her sleeve and doesn't shy away from telling you exactly what she thinks! This girl has her head on straight, is good at sports, great in academics and will give me a hand anytime I need one. I couldn't be more lucky to have gained such a great step daughter!

This gal is a total firecracker!! She keeps me on my toes, she's my girly girl. Her carefree spirit makes her a hoot to be around. I'm also lucky to have gained such a wonderful step daughter as her, she can be coaxed to do just about anything for some sugar, but also is my helper in the kitchen. She also has a huge heart she loves to share with others!
