Our Story

Details

Rose is my right hand! We work together, but that work relationship turn into much more really fast! There is no one in my life I talk more to a day, ( 5% work, 95% everything else) open up more too and just have fun with. I know that I can always count on her! Our relationship has been short, but I feel like we have known each other for years.

Rose

Arnold

Julie’s best friend from Hofstra! She completes me! I never clicked so fast with anyone until I met Charlsie. She  is my best friend, my confidant, the one who tells me when I am wrong, the one who will support me and the one I can just be real with. We spent many years apart, but always remained close. So happy that we are back together!

Charlsie

Meghan

Julie’s best friend from law school! She helped me get through the torture from day one! She would get me out and about. Every time we hung out, there was always a new adventure from apple picking to maple syrup harvesting, to exploring a science museum to exploring liberty island, from riding on a horse and buggy on our first baby adventures together to making ice cream at turkey hill with two babies.  

Megan

Julie’s beautiful sister! I can’t live with her and can’t live without her. No matter what torture we hail on each other, we will still love each other
