Whitney and Paige have been best friends since before they could walk. They met at First Assembly of God in Grand Junction, Co and have been soul sisters ever since. The trials and tribulations these two have overcome is astonishing. Paige has also given Whitney two beautiful God children that she absolutely adores and couldn't imagine life without.

Ashlynn and Whitney instantly bonded over Chris Brown and loser Ex boyfriends, and a few months later Ashlynn was moving in with Matt and Whitney. Ash has been an absolute constant in Whitney's life ever since. She is the type of girl that will show up at your door step at 2 am with chocolate and wine just because you sounded a little sad over the phone. The absolute BEST.

Jennah started off not really liking Whitney when she first met her, but after they started playing soccer together in middle school, Whitney weaseled her way into Jennah's heart and forced her to become best friends. They have been Mobster's ever since. No matter the distance, the different lifestyles, or even when jennah went through her odd hippie phase ;).. they always find time to catch up, and when they do see each other.. it's like they were never apart.

Tina and Whitney became besties in Nursing school in Denver, Co. Worst 17 months of their lives, but also the best 17 months because they found each other. Tina and Whitney have the type of friendship where no matter what they're doing, they are laughing and having a blast. Whether it's getting caught in hail storms on a mountain peak, pretending they know how to start a fire from scratch in the mountains or just sitting on the couch in silence.. Tina always makes it fun, and Whitney would have NO idea what she would do without her Peanut <3

Christina Canepa

Chels and Whitney also became besties in Nursing school in Denver, Co... well it didn't start out that way I should say. Whitney wasn't the biggest fan of Chelsey's huge personality at first.. but then one day, Chelsey walked over and plopped herself on Whitney's lap in class and somehow forced her way into bestfriend-hood. Whitney has adored her and cherished the loyal friendship that chelsey has given her ever since.
