Kansas City or bust!




Just a few short months ago I was complaining to my husband how much I missed my very good friend Marena. For anyone who doesn't know, she used to live here and moved to Kansas City a few years ago to be with her now husband, Adam. When she lived in Illinois we were together quite often. Marena has quite a unique personality and makes every situation fun. I have so many memories of us having a great time. Not only does she make me laugh like no one else can, to the point where your stomach aches, but she is also always there to support me, cheer me on and listen when I need it. Our last visit was in early October, and I was already missing her and wishing we could see each other again. I wanted to go and visit her but didn't have the money to fly there.

Little did I know that my wonderful husband had an idea. On Christmas morning I was so surprised to open my gift from him and find a plane ticket to Kansas City. He had spoken to Marena and arranged for me to go visit her. I was like a kid again, so happy to be going to see my friend. John, you did a very good job, extra bonus points for you this year, thank you!!

So now here I am getting all packed up tonight for me and Belle to go see Marena! I am very excited to be going. I am also a little nervous to be traveling with Anabelle alone, but it is just a short flight and we will be just fine. I am certain I will have a blast and have lots of stories and pictures to share of our great visit. Stay tuned, and I hope you all have a great weekend as well!!

Hey Sweetheart, you will have a great time and don't worry about the travel, it will be fine :-) BTW I could not read the left side of the blog the margin must be messed up, sorry, got the gist though . Will talk with you tomorrow, Love, Mom :-)

Oh, I love this post! I'm so glad you are here! It's absolutely incredible! I can't make any promises that I'm actually going to drop you off at the airport. I'm thinking of taking you hostage!
