In January, I made the decision that this is my last year in Saudi Arabia. Three years has been a good ride, but now I’m ready to move on to the next adventure. For now, I think that means back to KC.
So, in February, I set up some meetings and flew back for a week. It so happens that week was Super Bowl week. Of course, I had to get tickets to see my Chiefs! Coordination with former teaching teammate, friend, and fellow fan Kerri and Kevin Beck resulted in buying tickets online. We ordered row 17, but when they came in the mail, they were row 1!! A very welcome surprise and amazing time had there.
Here are some photos from Super Bowl weekend in Miami:
We flew back to KC the next morning early and later in the week, we enjoyed the parade.
My friend Brian, pictured in the first photo with the trophy, lives in the Western Auto lofts on Grand with a balcony over the parade route. He was kind to let my brother David and I and some other friends come watch. Same spot we watched the Royals parade drive by a few years ago.
It was an unforgettable week, and I still can’t believe it happened. So fortunate to have enjoyed the game and parade from where I did. I am so thankful the timing was right and that my family and friends helped put me in place to witness this historic win.
Looking forward to enjoying next season from my usual seat! I’m coming back, Arrowhead!
