 Rachel. Monica. Phoebe. Joey. Ross. Chandler. If you don't know these names, we can't be FRIENDS. Haha, you like my joke? Anyways, click below to listen to ' I'll Be There For You' . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLisEEwYZvw The song "I'll Be There For You" was written and composed by Phil Solem, Danny Wilde, Allee Willis, Michael Skloff, David Crane, and Martha Kauffman as the main theme song for the NBC sitcom "Friends", which aired in the U.S. from 1994 to 2004.

  Hi! I'm Jen, a returning student to UAF. I am beginning my journey towards my MBA with high hopes to one day work for the CIA. I am moving out of Alaska in less than a year. Where to? The military likes to keep that a secret until the last minute 😉 I love to go hiking and on other adventures with my husband, so long as we have some country music playing in the background! Enjoy this beautiful pic of the Chena from this summer! 🌞 I LOVE MUSIC! I played the violin for a few years in middle school, but realized I was much better at listening to music than I was at playing it... I fell in love with a country boy, and thus country music. I am someone who has to have music playing 24/7, especially when I'm driving! My husband and I love to go to concerts. We are always that annoying couple that won't stop dancing... oops! Check out the video above! I may be obsessed with it at the moment...
