Lania first met Corey at the pool after he had offered her a hot dog. A few weeks later he introduced her to Christina at the Rio and they fell into friendship over margaritas and bounce dancing. You can always find these besties getting into anything from hiking, traveling, happy hour, concerts and this year skiing (after years of begging her to try)! She is a ray of sunshine anywhere she goes, and you can usually find her and Christina with a drink in their hand and a smile on their faces!

Haley and Christina met in College at Colorado State University. They were both in the interior design program and had many classes together. After a few weeks Christina had decided that Haley would be her friend and set out to make it happen (despite Haleys skepticism of this crazy blonde girl). Showing up at her dorm room, inviting her to dinner, making her coffee for class, were all of the ways Christina bribed/tricked Haley into being one of her very best friends of all times. Living across the country in New Jersey doesn't stop these two from seeing each other multiple times a year, and never will!

Upon walking into the lab part of Life 101 class, Gina asked Christina if she wanted to sit with her and be part of her lab group. Christina hesitantly said yes as the seats Gina selected were front and center of the classroom, but man is she glad she did. Gina was an amazing kind soul that came into Christina's life at a really hard time and one where she just needed a buddy. Gina was more than a buddy that year and many to come, she is the ultimate ride-or-die and will always be my sister in life.
Nickname: Wenis
Emily and Christina first met at Erie Middle School in 6th grade. They have moved to and attended 4 different schools together, but always had each other. Their favorite activities include: going overboard for St. Pattys Day celebrations, changing mocktails into cocktails and of course anything to do with a pool or a boat. She is the kindest most amazing person I have ever met and with that said will kick your butt at any sport, (hint: get her on your beach volleyball team)! Emily has been a friend of Christina's for 2/3's of her life, and will be a bestie for the rest of her days.
Nicknames: Em or Mother Goose
Frances (Willis) Klingen met Christina thru her husband Nick. Nick and Corey have been best buds since long before college, and when the started dating two of the coolest girls in school, it only made since that they became besties! Inseparable through out most of college and now their adult lives. You can find them shredding together on the mountain or behind the boat (if the water is warm enough for Fran), sipping wine while shopping or just hanging watching movies in pjs. Years of being the only group girls friends has morphed our relationship from friends to the sisters we never had. Now she lives in MN, but that doesn't stop them from seeing each other at least once a season!
Nicknames: Fran, Francesca, Francine, Franchise, Frantarkinton, Ms. Willy
Amanda and Christina also met in middle school and went to three different middle/high schools together. They (along with Emily) played varsity basketball their freshman year, and moved to many other schools to persue their love for sports. When spending countless hours together they loved break out into random photo shoots, meet up at On the Border for chips and salsa, hours in the hot tub and of course watching Friends. Amanda is the best wife and mother role model, so it makes sense that she is also one of the most amazing besties a girl could ask for!
Nicknames: Manders or Pants
Christina and Kristin met while studying for the Real Estate Broker exams. Little did they know they would blossom into the cutest real estate duo this town has ever seen! When these two are together you know one thing for sure, there is definitely champagne and snacks involved. She is also a Volleyball all-star (so her and Emily can't be on the same beach volleyball teams) and her Ski-ball skills are great, but nothing compares to her wicked mind at puzzles. Friendship at first sight? Yep! This one's heart is as deep as her blue eyes and she will always have a spot in the bestie circle.
