This week I FINALLY went to Kansas City to visit Bre!  I say finally because Bre moved here almost 5 years ago & being the slacker best friend I am, I have yet to visit.

But we changed that this week in an epic Best Friend Week.  Here is our week in pictures and few words.

I left Monday afternoon for Kansas City on an absolutely full flight next to a couple that demanded I use a Clorox wipe on my seat, tray & arm-rests before they let me have a seat.

 We started best friend week with beautiful pampering in the most fabulously luxurious nail salon I have every encountered.  We came back to B's apartment where I was introduced to Jasper, or as I call him, J-Baby for the first time.  We were immediately inseparable best friends.

So. Cold.

 We stayed up late, drank Dr Pepper and talked forever.  The next morning we dubbed shopping day and for the first time in my life I was two places at once.  Both Missouri & Kansas...which was pretty epic for me.  We ended the day eating free Chili's and watching the Babysitter's Club Movie on Netflix.

Shopping Day!

We also FaceTimed Coach Husband at regular intervals & listened to his silliness.

New Year's Eve Day we did lots of fun things!  It was 14 degrees all day long and I have never been more cold before in my life.  I still don't think my feet are warm.  Bre took me downtown for some seriously fabulous barbeque at Jack Stack.  Seriously SO STINKING GOOD.  If you are ever in KC, you must eat here.  I was obsessed & stuffed myself.  After lunch we made our way to the Plaza for some more shopping {sorry Coach Husband, but it's all from my personal spending section of the budget}.  We introduced me to my first coffee beverage at Starbucks, which was a hit.

After shopping & Starbucks we made our way to the Crown Center to make Bre so very happy and ice skate.  Imagine, 14 degrees, ice rink & this Texas girl.  

Respective feelings about the ice skating endeavor

Skating so fast we're blurry...or not

In this picture it looks like I am made for winter

Look out Olympics 2018

Obviously I was thrilled

Post ice-skating picture.  I love you Bre!

We rang in the new year watching Friends, drinking Dr Pepper & putting on facial masks.  It was utter perfection.

On our last day together we have done...nothing.  Football all day & Cracker Barrel.  Friends on Netflix, two Sonic drinks in one day & chill time before I board a plane and head back to life in Texas.  Not only am I grateful for Bre's friendship and precious spirit but that no matter how far away we are, what life has dealt us & the end of other friendships she is...my person.  My best friend, my rock, my sister, encourager and accountability partner.  

I love you Bre!  Thanks for hosting me in KC.
