Constantly Changing

My boss likes to say “the only thing that is constant around here is change”…and he likes to say it often.  Now, more than ever, he is right.
We finally found a new location for our warehouse, and have begun the process of moving in.  Not that we’ve actually moved anything, but we are preparing to [...]

Joyful Tidings

My wife has been acting a little strange lately.  She’s been constantly craving chicken wings, and crying for strange reasons.  We’d pretty much decided that she was pregnant.  Saturday night, we went to the store and picked up some pregnancy tests, just to be sure.  At about three thirty in the morning on Sunday, she [...]

Approved!

This past Monday, I auditioned to play bass in the IHOP prayer room.  I’ve been playing as a replacement bassist for almost nine months now, and decided that I should make it official by going through the process to become approved for my position.
The process was quite enjoyable.  I got to sit with a bunch [...]

Double Duty

My coworker Justin is on vacation this week.  He is the Receiving Manager for our warehouse, as well as the mail pickup/delivery driver.  Since he is out of town, I get to do double duty for six business days, running his department as well as my own.  Technically, it isn’t such a bad deal, since [...]

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 ranging [...]

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 on [...]

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, [...]

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 enough [...]

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 [...]
