Job Hunting

If any of my coworkers are reading this, don’t be alarmed!  I’m not leaving my current job any time soon. In order to continue with our house hunting in Florence, Brianna and I have decided that we should start scouring the market for employment, as well.  So far, I’ve applied for four positions, in fields [...]

To Alabama and Back…

This past weekend, Brianna and I made some tough decisions. Wednesday evening(maybe it was Tuesday), Brianna found out that she was pre-approved for a home loan.  That was pretty exciting news.  Sadly, I have no credit history, and they wouldn’t let me put my name on the loan.  Instead, our lender based our pre-approval solely [...]

Satisfaction

A few months ago, I had a craving for a Cuban sandwich.  There is something about a hot sandwich that makes me really, really happy.  Sadly, I only know of one place in the Kansas City Metro area that makes a decent Cuban.  One afternoon, I drove out to said restaurant (in Olathe) only to [...]

HELP!!!

My lovely wife thinks that I need a new title for my blog. Originally, it was entitled “Boring Life of Gabriel (BLoG)”. Due to plenty of exciting things happening in my life, I changed it to “Basic Life of Gabriel (BLoG)”. Apparently my life is more complex than it used to be, and I may [...]

Lets not do that again.

What a busy weekend (see previous post for approximated agenda)!  I’m so glad its over. As it turns out, I didn’t really have a meeting at church on Saturday morning…I’d forgotten about it…then remembered…then showed up and found out that I was two weeks early.  All in all, that worked out great.  I didn’t have [...]

Beef

Every American seems acutely aware that a terrible event took place eight years ago today.  One would be hard-pressed to find an American citizen who would readily admit that they weren’t affected in some way by the September 11, 2001 events.  I do not disagree that it was a horrible moment in our countries recent [...]

Cooking with Brianna

As I mentioned in my last post (thanks for keeping up!), Brianna and I cooked dinner for our small group last night.  She has created an amazing recipe for baked potato soup, and keeps improving on it every time she makes it.  Needless to say, our fellow small groupers were impressed.  I tossed together a [...]

Where did all of my time go?

This morning, I came to a realization.  This is a busy week…especially the weekend part of it. I’ve been trying to make some hangout plans with my friends Nate and Sarah for about a month now, and we’re all too busy to make it happen.  We thought that this weekend would be a good time, [...]

Raw = FAIL, and other news

My raw foods diet didn’t go so hot.  I haven’t lost my resolve completely, but I’m pretty discouraged.  By no fault of my own, I’ve decided to scale back my consumption of raw foods by quite a bit, in favor of protein and dairy.  Apparently my stomach doesn’t like eating that much raw food.  I’ll [...]

Raw

I’m on day three of a month long raw foods diet.  I’ve had a horrible headache for the past two days, which I’ve attributed to caffeine detox, but it could very well be white flour, instead.  I’ve never been too hard on myself while dieting/Daniel fasting, so I didn’t beat myself up too much last [...]
