Another Year Older…

Well, I’m now one year older at 27. I guess I’m kind of starting off this new year of my birth with some changes, LOL. I was able to get up at 5 this morning & be to work by 7. I ate breakfast, watched a little news, did some devotions. I was given a little celebration during break at work too! I was given a birthday balloon and a card from everyone in the office. It was nice to have my birthday be a little more than just another day. That was really the extent of it but it was the best birthday I’ve had in a long while. Some year it might be nice to actually have a party with friends. No biggy though, it was a pretty good day anyways.

So kind of a bummer, one of the servers (the File Server) decided to have problems. Looks like one of the drives in it is going bad. Basically it took all day to bring it back online. It up and running now, hoping it’ll work for people until I get the new drive in. It made it kind of hard for some to get a lot done.

I got home around 4:15 or so from work which was nice. I did a light supper, eating breakfast and having a good lunch I wasn’t very hungry. This is just fine as perhaps I can shed some pounds. A side note, when I was talking about getting up early it was mentioned to me I should be going to the YMCA. There is I guess some kind of health insurance reimbursement for this. I might look into this if it can almost cost me nothing. And it would mean I would have to go in like twice a week. I probably wouldn’t do this in the morning but perhaps for an hour right after work. So back to the evening after work. After supper and some Seinfeld, sweet, I got to work on the website project I was hired for. It was actually a pretty productive go of it. I think I’ll be ready to get the forms all coded up and should be ready for a review next Monday.

Well, I finished up the night with doing a little surfing, and now my blog post for the day. I’m going to get a chapter of “A Passionate Life” in before I hit the sack. All-in-all it was a pretty good day.

Ok, so one final note. Today of course didn’t come without some thought of getting older and still batchin’ it. Actually, someone mentioned it in a little note in my b-day car at work. Yeah, so I’m another year older, a little closer to 30, and still single. Well that’s just how it is. There really is no reason to fuss over it. There are plenty of people that would like to see me get hooked up, and that’s just cause they want to see me happy. None of us know God’s plan for our lives, so we can’t be worrying about what’s not in our control. Granted some may argue that me being single is very much in my control. As I talked with my friend Chad last week. I have things I just don’t think it’s right to compromise on. I do feel like perhaps I’ve got a pretty small box for someone to fit into, but God knows how to make that work. When, and if, the time is right someone will come along. If I lose sight of that then it’ll just get me down. I just thought of too, that perhaps there is someone out there that is wondering why they haven’t found someone, and perhaps it’s because they are in my box and that box just doesn’t work for others. (not sure if that makes sense, hard to explain) Well, it’s 10, and I need to get to bed…sleepy calls. Really should have been in bed like an hour ago, LOL. NIGHT OWL!!!…LOL! Chow!

    The Invisible Man Speaks!

    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…
  • DISC and Colds…

    Not going to post much today. We had a seminar on DISC profiles today at work. It was good to understand our own personalities and how we should interact with others of different personalities. I didn’t end up going to Fargo, I need to get some rest and didn’t want things to get too late getting home. Although it’s late now, I’m heading to bed soon. I did get together with John & Anders and we watched The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy it was funny to watch again. It’s on my list of movies to purchase. I think Anders has convinced me to read the books. I got notice that my new digital camera should be here Tuesday. I’m excited to start getting out…

    Devotions for Sacred Parenting – Day 7: A Season of Sacrifice

    “Our kids, by their existence, make a legitimate spiritual claim on our time, our money, and our focus.” – Devotions for Sacred Parenting by Gary L. Thomas I was challenged today in how I approach being a Dad. Too often I choose to focus on everything but my kids. Our time is too short with our kids, and there will be years ahead when we will have all kinds of time to pursue other things. I will say that this is one of the reasons I wake up at 4am some days to get a run in as I make an effort to not let my running negatively impact my family. #parenting #sacrifice #responsibility
  • Quick For Now…Best Birthday Ever!

    So, before I hit the sack. I just have to thank the most amazing women in the world [Vanessa ;-)] for the most amazing birthday ever. OK, so some of you are thinking “it’s not your birthday yet” well, we celebrated early because we’ve got our dance class on Tuesday. Today was an awesome day! Vanessa gave me a season of Seinfeld on DVD and a disc golf bag. She took me out for dinner at a great place called Rose’s on Reeds Lake, and we had some wood-fired pizza, it was excellent. After dinner we headed over to a theatre to see an improv group (River City Improv). We had a load of laughs. Well, I’ll have to get into more later. I don’t…
