Since I made a top ten list of things I was going to miss about Kansas City (and yes, I miss all of those things) I decided I needed a top ten list of the things I love about being here. So here you have it. And these are not in any particular order, just so you know. ~Kara
10. Family. I love being by family! Having most of our family within driving distance just makes me happy.
9. Light of the World Prayer Center. The people are awesome and God’s doing cool stuff here. What more could you want?
8. Haggen. Ok, I know I’m a nerd, but really, nothing compares to the grocery stores in Washington. You just have to come shop here to know it and I’m happy to leave the Grandview Price Chopper in my distant memory. Um, I don’t have a picture.
7. The parks. I can’t get over how beautiful it is here. Maybe I just didn’t appreciate it until I left it.
6. Cool weather. This one’s a mixed bag… some have been calling this month “June-uary” And yes, I would enjoy a little bit more sun and a little bit higher temperatures. But I’ll take 70˚ and cloudy over 100˚ and humid any day.
5. Staalacres. Good food, grandparents, an epic tree house and five acres of beauty. It’s my favorite weekend destination.
4. Where we live. We literally live just a few feet from the prayer center. Which happens to have a playground. You can’t get a better commute to work!
3. Berries. Who doesn’t love fresh local real berries?
2. Cousins. Joshua has four older cousins nearby and he LOVES them all. He adores following them around and trying to be like the “big” kids.
1. Bobos. Granted, this one’s kind of like cheating because it’s not unique to Washington. But if we’re honest, bobos are the best part about living anywhere. :)

I like you. And your bobos.

I agree with them all, especially #6! rarely so hot you can’t drink coffee and rarely so cold you can’t eat ice cream. And the beauty is awesome!!!

Hey Kellys!
Just got the newsletter and I am so excited for this new season for your family! God is going to do such amazing things. I can feel the joy and see the perfection of God’s timing and plan in this move back home. Yes, I miss my friends dearly, but it is so much over matched by my pure excitement of what God is doing in your lives. I love you. I miss you and can’t WAIT to get out there to see you.
:) Love, Jen
