24 years of friendship is something to celebrate! So is turning 40. Lydia told her husband that her dream birthday would be dinner with her closest friends. So, when Kyle asked if he could fly me to Kansas to surprise her, that was an easy yes.
Beth picked me up from the airport and recorded the surprise. I was so nervous...I have no idea why I did any of the things I did...but she was also so shocked that she just froze. Video
We have said many times that we wish we were together, sipping wine and chatting on her back patio. So we did!
The next day, I treated us to pedicures.
And we sat by the pool while her kids swam.
Then we met up with these lovely ladies for a dinner at Silo. Jess drove down from Nebraska that day to join us. Lyd is one loved lady.
Dinner was amazing and one of the most fun evenings I've had. We had a good laugh when the waiter brought out her birthday treat. This was a nice restaurant and lots of dessert was ordered, but Lyd just got a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a candle melted right on the plate.
I'm so glad I got to be there to celebrate a wonderful friend.
