After a decade of friendship, their support of one another is stronger than it has ever been. Whether it is watching a movie for the 50th time or planning a retreat, the joy of working/ being together never fades. Kori loves Lindsey's wit, kindness, and reliability. And that she always agrees to stop for another unnecessary cup of coffee.
