Barley, Prince of Darkness, has been maintaining Megan's, and now Chip's, mental health since his Gotcha Day in 2017. He is our beloved cat-dog, gentle sir, and armchair enthusiast.

Marshall struck gold with Megan in 2018 when he was found in a ditch and brought to the Sedgwick County Health Department where Megan was working. He is the household's comic relief and guaranteed snuggler.

An icon, like Cher or Prince, needing just one name- Swells. Swells has been with Megan since their first days in high school. Through whatever comes and to whatever end...

A teammate in life and on the soccer field, Vlad has always been there to take in a Sporting KC match, get a pizza at Johnny's Tavern after a TOTs game, or wake up at 6am to watch Manchester United play. He and Chip have been friends, scoring goals, and conquering worlds for over a decade.

Oh Nina, long have you endured some of Megan's deepest and most challenging philosophical questions... Like, "is cereal soup" and "is it the 's' or the 'c' in 'scent' that is silent"? Nina and Megan have been answering life's most difficult questions since middle school!

Little Seester! Megan's favorite problem child, J Lowe always helps Megan tease out any "hiccups" in her farfetched schemes, which sometimes just makes them that much more diabolical... Intent on solving the world's problems one day at a time, hand these two masterminds the keys and they'll take it from there- just don't ask them to do a chi-square by hand ever again 😊

Megan's former work wife from their Sedgwick County days, Megan found a kindred spirit in Diana almost instantly and told her they would be friends. It's a good thing Diana agreed (although Megan didn't give her much of a choice 😂). She loves her guts...

If it weren't for Jordan, Megan's most fashionable friend, she'd live her life in her Stitch onesie- and he'd love her just the same. Jordan and Megan met studying public health at Saint Louis University and she still bothers him regularly for fashion and general life advice.

You may know him as “Vitruvius,” master engineer and superhero, but Tom has always been known as “big brother” to Chip. While Chip was working the pandemic, Tom would save time to play Portal 2 with Chip after work, helping him maintain some semblance of his sanity throughout those years.

If you like Chip’s taste in music, you have Matt to thank for that development. When Matt was in college and Chip still in high school, he would send Chip “College Care Packages” back to Wichita, filled with ramen packets and burned CDs to get him more acquainted with college life. While those CDs have since been made into a Spotify playlist, the songs live on forever.

Brewer, friend, and permanent dessert taste-tester. Chris and Chip met through Strange Days Brewing Company where Chris worked and Chip would visit. After long hours discussing games, soccer, beers, life, the universe, and everything, the friendship was born. Raise your glass, Kansas City.

A friend to all and host of amazing get-togethers, Jordan has always been the life of the party. Between the New Years celebrations or just a simple Friday night of watching RuPaul’s Drag Race with friends, having a bonfire, and making s’mores, there is never a boring time with Jordan on your team.
