Machine Gun News…with Bullet Points!

  • The Boxes now have Toll Tags. I hate toll roads and try to avoid them if at all possible. But if I have to use them, I hate the payment process even more – either a bill in the mail for $1.25 or disdainfully tossing in a handful of coins every couple of miles. So I joined the 21st century and stuck the tags on our windshields.
  • I successfully sold my second item on Craiglist – the massive filing cabinet that I refused to make one of my poor friends drag up the stairs to our third-floor apartment. Now I have a well-used but cheap cheap Sony stereo cabinet for sale…
  • Last night we finally had some residents over for dinner! We wanted to get started with that much sooner, but it takes time to build the relationships. This was a really nice engaged couple, and we had a great time. Jenny made chicken cordon bleu.
  • Thursday night we had our monthly CARES meeting with our area director and the other IBC-connected teams. The president of Apartment Life was there to share some news and encourage us. He’s one of the most positive and encouraging people I’ve ever met. His enthusiasm and passion for God is infectious. He said our job boils down to one thing: making God look good. I liked that.
