Just a quick update and post on our last big visit to Kansas City this summer.  First, Traci just passed her first year mark at the hospital and working as a nurse!  She had her evaluation and got nothing but compliments!  Just a couple more years and Traci can have the experience and the next step in the education to get to be what she has dreamed of being in nursing.

We just went down to Kansas City one last weekend this summer to spend time with the Caresia Clan, especially Justin as he prepares to leave for Ecuador for a two year mission.  We drove down on Thursday night after Traci got off work so we could maximize our time with them.  Because it was sunset and starting to get dark, the bugs were out in mass quantity.  Such quantity that it sounded like it was raining on our windshield, but it was actually the bugs hitting our windshield.  When we got to KC, Courtney, Marjean, and Justin were still up waiting for us and we all hung out for a bit.  On Friday, we got up, chilled at the house, did a bit of shopping and then went to the Royals game on Friday night.  Matt got to see the Royals pitcher that he has been wanting to see, Zach Greinke.  And to top it off, the company Gene works for has tickets to a Royals suite, so he was able to snag those tickets for the game.  Amazing seats, amazing pitching (until the rest of Royals didn’t perform ), and most importantly, amazing family.  On Saturday they took us to downtown KC to the Crown Center.  We walked around, saw a Lego’s exhibit, and ate at a place called Fritz’s.  Fritz’s is a restaurant based on a train theme.  A train even delivers your meal.  They give out conductor hats to the kids, but as you can see in some of the pictures, we are all just kids at heart.

We have a busy few weeks ahead of us that will take us into the school year.  This coming weekend Matthew will be in Detroit, then we will be in Nauvoo, then school will start and we will be in Florida before you know it!  We hope everything is going well for every!  Please keep in touch!

Love,

Matthew and Traci
