Finding time to see all our friends while we’re back in Kansas City is always the biggest struggle and it’s practically impossible. Thankfully, our awesome hosts for the week, Ben & Kim (& Diesel too), were kind enough to have a BBQ and help us ‘check off’ seeing some friends. Not everyone could attend, but we did get to see our friends Stuart, Jason & Ali, and Crystal. This was also the first time we got to see her4 month old son, Gavin, up close and personal––what a cute, happy little boy. He was obviously the center of attention.
Ali, Crystal, me & Kim: we’ve all known each other since grade school–-I love these ladies. I just wish I lived closer to them. correction: I just wished THEY lived closer to ME. 
The guys hung out in the garage like all manly men do and that was the end to a good evening. Thanks, Ben & Kim, for being great hosts!
