Can I Make A Weekly Update?
Jul 29th
Well, so it’s been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I think I need to do something about this. In no way have I gotten tired of the whole blog scene, it’s just that my life has changed so much. I’m still finding my way back to something that feels normal. Everything here still seems pretty new. I remember that it took a few months for me to establish some normalcy my first year of college. Everything was brand new for me, and it was hard to begin with. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t felt sad that I’m here, I do miss seeing so many people but I have been able to chat briefly with so many of you. If anyone ever wants to give me a call and chat I’d love it, drop me and email and ask me for my number if you need it. So, anyways I think I will be looking to try and schedule in at the very least one day a week for blogging. I thnk my biggest problem with trying to post daily is that once I get going my blog entries turn into rather lengthy posts. I guess I’ve pretty much always been better at processing my thoughts in written word than verbally, although I am working on that too. That also brings up another issue, and that’s of getting back to putting out my
Well, so anyways, what have I been up to? Well, I don’t really have the time to spend right now going back over every day and detail. However, I’ll note some of the items briefly. During our first Tuesday team meeting I was praised to my boss, by a co-worker, for the contributions and ideas I was bringing to the team. On Sunday, I went to the beach with Vanessa’s parents, brother, and his girlfriend. Let’s just say that it’s hard to get comfortable in 57 degree water. (burr) It was kind of different to be going with them without Vanessa there, but I had a really great time with them. I do have to say I really like her family, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know them more and more. On Monday Vanessa was back, we had already planned to go out on a date that night. I took her to a really nice Italian restaurant, the food was great, and I loved to hear all about her trip. After dinner we walked next door to

The Invisible Man Speaks!
Jul 18th
OK, folks. So it has been a rather long time since I last posted. Let’s just say that my life has been a little busy. Last week on Monday I started my new job. My official title is Associate Network Planning Engineer, isn’t that a mouth full. I work on a team that develops tools to help track the cellular network and help to plan for expansion. The crazy thing about last Monday was that even though I was starting no one there that day really knew that I was starting. The guys I work with got the emails that morning about me starting. The IT deptartment wasn’t very happy as they hadn’t even begun working on getting me a computer. I basically had not computer and no desk to call my own. By the end of that week I had finally gotten a computer to use and a desk to work at, I also got my new company cell phone.
The phone wasn’t all I had hoped. We basically get a free phone up to $250, but at retail prices. I was really hoping to get my hands on a new

What God Brings…
Jul 8th
It has been a few days since my last update. I think I should now be able to have more regular updates as I finally have internet access at my place, and my wireless is up and running. It’s not that I couldn’t post from Vanessa’s, that’s where the last one was posted from, I’ve just had a lot of other things to do during the day, and my best posting time is usually at night. If I’m at Vanessa’s in the evening we are usually spending time together, well I guess we’ve been spending just about all our evenings together. We have both talked about trying have more of a routine for the both of us. With the holiday during this week, and me still getting all settled in and not working yet, it’s been out of the norm for the both of us. I don’t think either of us mind all the time we’ve had to spend together, our times in the past were so rare it almost seems unreal to have all this time and flexibility, but we will need to settle into a more regular schedule and we’re definitly going to have to work on how late things get. I need to start taking the lead here I think, I need to be looking out for how much sleep Vanessa needs. I’m so much a night person and she is more of a morning person. I need to look at switching gears a bit and get my sleeping patterns adjusted.
I have to say that this week, or at least since I’ve gotten moved here, has been amazing. I’ve loved to see how God has continued to bring everything into place, and how He has blessed Vanessa and I with the time we’ve had to share together. Tonight was really in a way our first date for a long time. I simply cannot wait to be able to plan more date nights. I had so much fun and excitement planning things for tonight. I can only say that I still feel so amazingly blessed by God for everything He has given me, especially Vanessa. I simply can’t wait for all that know me to have the chance to meet her and get to know her. She has such a huge love and excitement for serving God, I love that about her. I’m sort of bumbed that I won’t be able to go on the Missions trip with her in a couple of weeks. I would have enjoyed so much to be able to serve along side her. I truly hope that God brings other opportunities for us to server together in the future.

Moved In And Lovin’ It
Jul 2nd
Well folks (readers/freinds) I’m am now know as a Michigander (as Vanessa would call it). I haven’t gotten a new drivers license or license plates on the car but I really do feel at home at the moment. I still need to get myself familiar with the area but I’ve got a map (thx Nessa!) and I’m pretty confident I’ll figure it out in no time.
The move went pretty well, all except the long drive, and little sleep, between Thursday & Friday. Thanks to those of you that helped with all the packing and loading. Actually on Friday, on the way through Wisconsin, we got stuck for an hour on the Interstate, as a trucking hauling scrap metal dumped it’s load all over the highway. After getting through that things went ok, other than taking a longer way around Chicago to avoid heavy traffic and construction. I think Chicago is the only big problem with the travel between here and MN. Too bad it couldn’t be transplanted somewhere else, lol.
