Yesterday, I went back down to Crown Center to check out the free exhibit of John Lennon artwork. The place was super crowded so it took a while to navigate through the crowd to see the artwork. Lennon mainly drew line sketches of himself, Yoko and Sean. They are pretty simple drawings but it was still really interesting to see so many works by someone so famous and so influential.

This week we had a baby shower for B and J and Baby Josephine. It was really fun because we all dressed up and had food and drinks and played card games. The guys mainly played poker but the girls played Sequence or Nertz. Probably the most fun I've ever had at a baby shower!
 |
| Looking good B! Only a few more weeks to go! |
 |
| Me and Adam! He cleans up good! :) |
 |
| Lots of great gifts for Baby J! |
 |
| L and B |
 |
| The cake was awesome! |

Another first for me this week was going to my first Major League Soccer game. The KC Wizards played Seattle Sounders. If KC wins, they have a chance of making the playoffs so it was a big game. Unfortunately, Seattle won 2-1. But it was still a lot of fun! KC's goalie was awesome, acknowledging the fans a lot and thanking them.
We sat in the Cauldron, which is where the true fans sit apparently. But we were literally right next to an entire drumline who played and sang and jumped around and was crazy the whole game! At first, I thought it would be too loud but I guess I got used to it. It was a little hard to see the actual game from there but I had a great time anyways.

I finally had a good Mexican meal in KC! I went to Jose Peppers in Overland Park and had their speciality, Pollo Magnifico. It's chicken wrapped in a flour tortilla, lightly fried and then stuffed with lots and lots of cheese. It was amazing!

| Check out this amazingness! |
Jose Peppers has 11 locations in the KC Metro area. The funniest part was they put a bottle of hand santizer at your table for your convenience. I did use it, so I guess it worked!
Today, I had some real good locally-made pizza, d'Bronx Pizza. They have 3 locations in KC. It was very good!
Fountain Update- For the month of October, some of the major fountains turned the water pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. Here is a large fountain in Gladstone, supporting the cause:
 |
| No. 54- Exit 1C off I-29 in Gladstone |
 |
| No. 55- N Oak Trfwy, Gladstone at a Lowe's store |
This last fountain is at the Midwestern Baptist school, where my friends Daniel and Anna got married. Daniel and Anna just had a baby boy this week! Congrats!!

| No. 56- at Midwestern Baptist School, in Gladstone |
Well, I've been in KC two months now! It's been so much fun but I am having NO luck in the job hunt. I've now interviewed for 6 jobs and did not get an offer from any of them. I've been rejected from a manager level position at $45,000 a year and a retail book store position at $8 an hour. So, it's frustrating to say the least. I did not expect it to be this difficult.
So, I need help! If you know of any hirings in the KC area, please let me know. I don't care what it is anymore. I don't even care if I have to work in Kansas. I just need something. And I've tried almost everything so you don't need to tell me to try the more basic websites or the well-known companies here. I've tried it and I will continue to apply. I need more help in that if you know someone specific who has the power to hire.
Thanks!!!!!
