Our Wedding

It all started watching horses race Churchill Downs while we sipped Mint Juleps. The easy conversation and deep laughs led to camping stories, gear comparisons, and many out-of-door, out-of-box adventure plans. Hard to lose those smiles. A shared love of water and the sun soon brought the acquisition of a second kayak. A deep current began its course. And of course there’s Jax. Abra’s closest friend. Her baby. Her guardian. It turns out that Drew ‘speaks’ Jax. Thus, the ultimate test was passed. The capsizing of said kayak in deep lake chop with a Labrador leashed to the bow will teach team problem solving. Sleeping in a tent in 100 degree Arkansas heat within the first month together is a great indicator of compatibility. Agreeing on how a fire should be built and then gazing into it and poking at it. Together. That beats all. Falling from hammocks together. Digging up garden beds and eating vegetables we grew with muddy hands. The ‘Chicken Experiment’ Moon dancings. Palo Santo smudgings. Spontaneous day trippings. Breathing the good air. Out for each other. Laughing all the while. Going with the flow. Soaking in a cedar bath on a pitch black Ozark hillside pulsing vividly with thousands of luciérnagas, to piñon tinged mountain air of Ojo Caliente hot springs under the crystalline celestial sky, a sacred moonrise above the muddy banks of the Kaw, and the ancient Pacific blue of Banderas Bay’s unending surf. Water is our union. And now we ride the waves of life together. Always with the ebb and flow, through the troughs and crests, high tide and low. And we say… Blessed are the curious… for they shall have adventures…

Things to Do

Adventure Time

Kate and Abra became *forever* friends in middle school. They share so many fond memories together throughout adolescence including calling each other by the silly pet names "langosta" y "calamari." The Cohen family home was much like Abra's second home in middle/high school. Kate and Abra both studied abroad while in high school at PHS. Abra still often finds herself in her home away from home at Kate and Paulo's house for dinner with their two adorable sons. 

Kate C. Gonzalez

Brandis and Abra met after college, and lived together for a year before Brandis moved to Colorado. Friendship with Brandis has always come so easy and is always full of laughter and love! It’s very easy for she and I to pick up right where we left off! They too love to adventure together --Abra and Brandis hiked parts of the Kalalau trail together in Kauai, and in December of 2024, they will travel to Canada to see Taylor Swift!  Billygoat and Babylegs forever!

Brandis Dawber

Melissa and Abra met through a mutual friend in KC after college in 2007. Melissa was a recent KU grad, and Abra, a proud UNC Tarheel, they quickly bonded over march madness and their small dogs "Marley" and "Nacho."  They have enjoyed a passionate friendship throughout the years! Abra considers Melissa much like a sister to her, and loves her two girls, Hudson and Logan and newly welcomed baby boy Wynn very much! #AuntieAbies #Rawr

Cami and Abra became friends through Elena, but have always known of each other growing up in 
"the KC bubble."  Abra would say their friendship really blossomed during COVID when everyone was in quarantine. Cami has been a great friend to Abra through some very difficult times. Abra knows she can always count on Cami and Simon to make her smile and laugh! Cami and Abra have bonded over college basketball, and working out amongst other things! 

Cameron Calabrese

Elena and Abra met when Abra moved into her new home with Jax in Prairie Village. Abra sought out a "google review" and new friend in Elena and the rest is history. They love to spend time outdoors and enjoy an annual camping trip together! Abra can always count on Elena as a friend and they often get mistaken as sisters! #SisterSister
