WORK: Ray loves his job. This week he covered a press conference at UMKC for area school districts. He was thrilled that he and the KC Star were covering the same event. Nan got her schedule set for the next four months. After four weeks of training (second shift) she'll be working 5 am to 1:30 pm at ADT's customer service center near the KC airport.
SCHOOL: Titus met his teacher (Ms. Stolper), ordered lots of Briarcliff Elementary 'spirit wear' and toured his new school on Thursday evening. Nan is going to wait until next semester to start clases at the seminary.
FUN: While Ray was at his presser, Nan & Titus walked around the Nelson-At
kins Museum of Art. Titus' favorite thing was the knight & horse in matching Spanish armor. Today we all three spent the afternoon at Union Station where we explored the Science City, ate at the Harvey House Diner, watched a 3D movie about dinosaurs, and took in The Beatles laser show in the planetarium.FOOD: Two words. Gates BBQ.
FAITH: We found a great community of fellow travelers at Trinity. We're looking forward to our first Sunday worship with them after sharing great conversation and some yummy baked potatoes on Wednesday night.
HOME: While a swimming pool has been great, we're eager to find our permanent home. We're going to make an offer on a bungalow a few blocks from our apartment. (Ray Sr. will be proud to know that the house is a foreclosure that we'll get far below its value.) It will require Nan to get back into general contractor mode again, but will be a fantastic house with some updates. It is just a block from the North KC library and two blocks from the new North KC community recreation center.
Waiting for you all to come for a visit...
