We've been waiting for this day for a verrrrrry long time.

And it finally arrived two days ago!

But first, ya need a lil back story.

Meet Katie. 

TikTok star, fellow party princess, and one of the sweetest humans on the planet.

We connected over social media and quickly became friends.  275901794_659157651964735_7341945610582824550_n

Fast forward 3 years and one pandemic later, and we finally got to meet in person!

She came to visit Colorado this week and we had an absolute blast. At the Denver zoo, she saw a gorilla in person for the first time, we enjoyed the iconic chickie nuggies and fries, and I watched her jump about a foot in the air when a bird dropped his bowl on the cage and she thought something was escaping (I'm still laughing!).

At Cherry Creek mall, we got bubble bars from Lush and friendship necklaces from Claire's... like adults.

And then spent 9 hours - yes, nine hours - filming a whole bunch of videos for TikTok. 

And while I'm certainly the "big sis" here in terms of age, she's got just a few inches on me which made filming HILARIOUS at times!

But in all seriousness, this girl is simply incredible. She's truly the little sister I always wish I had.

And I'm so grateful and honored to be her friend.

While this whole friendship may have started with her being inspired by me to start her own princess party business, the truth is I'm now inspired to be more like her.

(And I totally think you should check out her TikTok and princess party business!)
