Why I Haven’t Been Blogging… AKA the Proposal

I don’t even remember the last time that I wrote a post. I know that I could go back and check, but I don’t want to get distracted in fear that I might not finish this one.
Weeks ago, I wrote about how I’d been looking for an engagement ring for my girlfriend. It [...]

I’m Back…Again.

It looks like most of my internet connection issues have been resolved.  Yesterday, it got a little stormy in the Midwest, and lightning knocked the power out a few times.  I think that might have had something to do with the internet coming back.  I suppose it may have reset the servers and routers or [...]

Back from California with Stories to Tell

Friday evening, I hopped on a plane from KC-International and headed for the coast.  I had an hour and a half layover in Albuquerque, then landed at LAX at about eleven o’clock.  Twenty minutes later, my sister Sarona, her boyfriend Arnold, and I were stopping through In-N-Out for some late night double-doubles.  It was a [...]

Hooray for Premarital Counseling!

Today, Brianna and I went to our first session of premarital counseling.  It was incredible!  We were both pretty excited about going, not only because we both agree that it is a necessary step before marriage, but also because we are looking forward to getting to know each other more.
Last week, we met with our [...]

Bling!

If you keep up with me via Facebook, you may have noticed that my current status is: “Gabriel is going to the mall to look for things to put on fingers”…in other words, Brianna and I were looking at engagement/wedding rings.  That’s not to say that we are getting engaged this week…but it is definitely [...]

Travel Updates and Slumdog

I’m a couple days late…
Brianna got home from her recent travels on Monday morning.  She ended up getting a flight from Charlotte to Chicago, and then another flight to KC.  My boss gave me an extra hour for lunch, and I was able to pick up Brianna from the airport and have a quick cup [...]

I can’t wait for Spring!!!

Today has been an utterly frustrating day.  Brianna has been stuck in Charlotte, North Carolina since this afternoon.  Her flight from Lynchburg, Virginia was delayed, which would have resulted in another delayed flight to O’Hare…which, in turn, would have caused her to miss her final flight home to Kansas City.  The second flight never made [...]
