My Favorites!

Hello everyone!

(Joy writing ☺)

So being in Kansas City for a couple months now, I’m starting to get the hang of things! I’ve come up with some of my favorite things about being here!

1.) I’m with my husband! Now THIS is awesome! We have SO much fun! Sometimes we just get to laughing about the silliest things, until our stomach’s hurt! One time Aaron was hugging me and smelled my hair and said “mmm! Chocolate chip cookies! Your hair smells like chocolate chip cookies!” ……. There wasn’t a chocolate chip cookie in sight… ??? But if you know my husband, you know that he LOVES chocolate chip cookies! At any rate, I guess my hair smells like chocolate chip cookies (or maybe he has had a little too many?... I vote for the latter ☺) Many laughs all around, for sure!
2.) IHOP – KC and the prayer room – the prayer room is only about 3 minutes away! ☺ This is awesome. I can hop into my car, drive 3 mintues, and walk into a place that is going ALL the time with worship and prayer! Isn’t that AWESOME!??
3.) There are some AWESOME people here! People who reeeeally love Jesus, and who take time to speak into your life.. and ask about how you are. These are quality people, and I’m so privileged to be around them so regularly.
4.) Sheridan’s!! In case you don’t know, Sheridan’s is a frozen custard place.. and let me tell you.. it is GOOD! My wonderful husband introduced me to this, and he may have since regretted it, because every time we are near one, I get that longing look in my eyes for some chocolatey goodness. However, he is pretty down with ice cream too, so I think he is OK with all of this.. ☺
5.) Crown Center… Town & Center.. The Plaza…. These places either boast great shopping, (Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Jessica McClintock, the Apple Store, etc, etc, etc..) great food, or free outdoor movies on Friday nights… need I say more?? So much fun!
6.) Everything is usually within about 10 minutes away… this is VERY nice.. especially coming from a place were there was at least a 30 minute drive to EVERYWHERE!
7.) Beautiful parks and fountains! We really have a lot of beautiful fountains here! On random street corners, in the middle of a roadway… in front of cool buildings. They are really pretty to look at! We also have beautiful parks with gardens and duck ponds.. and you guessed it.. more fountains!
8.) The bugs!!!! (JUST KIDDING) They are huge here! Occasionally you will actually find a pretty one though.. like the HUGE moth with beautiful wings Aaron and I found the other day!
9.) The train runs RIGHT to here!! (that’s a hint for all those who are far away from us… its really easy to jump on a train! We will even pick you up! ☺)
10.) Professional Baseball games for $10! This is cool! And it is not because KC is particularly generous…. But because our baseball team officially stinks.. But it makes for a real fun and cheap time at a MLB game!


I’m loving it here ☺

I know pictures have been requested…. We will hopefully be taking some soon, and I shall post ☺

Love to all!

Joy (Aaron loves you all too ☺)
