The Return of Bean...

Max's reign as lone child ruler of the house will soon be coming to a close. In roughly seven and a half months Max will have a new brother or sister to play with. Due date being something in the neighborhood of May 9th. Now I know some of you may feel intimidated, like Reid or Jenny another May b-day hogging some of your glory. Well... its true, and to top it off the new born will be way cuter then you too.
But it won't be all fun and games for Sarah and me this means I'll have to be dusting off some of the baby equipment we just put away in the attic, and Sarah will have to stick to virgin gin and tonics for a while. And I'm not evening going to try and think about packing our Ion for Otter Crest with 2 little ones.

PS: JJ if you are still needing any "how to" tips give me a call, I'm batting 2 for 2 over here. Would be more then happy to give you some pointers.

Onward and upward to Covington

Well I bid adieu to my old Tacoma Costco. For the past few years I have been a PM stocker/fork lift driver. Closing the warehouse nearly every night for the past 3+ years. What draws me away? A new Costco is about to open in Covington, a community to the north. About a 30min drive from our house here in Fircrest. The new warehouse manager for Covington is the same one I had here in Tacoma, so he agreed to take me along with a promotion to supervisor of the gas station. So I'll be running the new 16 pump, 90000gallon gas station.

The folks here in Tacoma were nice enough to hold a going away party for those of us departing to the new building at the local Azteca restaurant. My old department did something a little more personalized for me on my last day...

This is how I found my car when I left the building on my last night at the Tacoma Costco. Now I knew something was up that night, some coworkers were asking to borrow my register keys, I later found out there were hoping to find a locker key on my key chain (my locker is a combo lock to which they found the key to in the form of a bolt cuter). After borrowing my car keys they moved my car and wrapped it up for me. But they weren't done yet...

After unwrapping it, I found that my car now had a cream filling or at least a plastic one now. They stuffed about 5 Costco shopping carts worth of plastic wrap in there. It took me about half hour to get my car clear of all the extra baggage it had taken on.

It was nice to see people say they would miss me. Though I think that part was more of a formality, the truth later came out that the one they would really miss is Max, over all I had more comments that my ex-coworkers would miss his blue eye and cute smile much more then my mug. *sigh*
