10 Things I’m Going To Love About MI

OK, so as I’m preparing this week for my big move to MI I’m thinking what I could share with you all about some reasons why I’m excited about this move. So here we go, let’s see if I can come up with 10.

1. More time I can spend with the most amzing woman I know! 😉

2. Many trips to a real beach! (with Vanessa of course!)

3. Taking dancing lessons (with an actual woman too!)

4. Living somewhere where there is more to do than hang out in the Pamida parking lot. (lol, jk, although this area is like Fargo/Moorhead so there is tons more to than Fergus)

5. A new job experience out in the real world. (not sure that this is something I love, but I’m excited for it)

6. Making new friends and meeting new people. (finally I can get out of the box a little perhaps)

7. Wide open opportunities to be used by God! (here I am Lord, er there I’ll be)

8. Could it be, less snow to shovel? I hope so!

9. I still feel like I’m in MN, although I still can’t figure out where all the lakes have gone. Seems they they moved them all together. (lol)

10. Did I mention that there is this girl there, and she has a thing for me I guess. It would seem that I have thing for her too! 😉

Well, I don’t think I did too bad. How can I leave out all the most important reasons, like Vanessa! 😉 I can’t really express how amazing she is and has been these past few weeks. She’s helped me in so many ways as I’ve prepared to make the move. I can’t wait to see her beautiful smile once again! I sure hope everyone gets a chance to meet her at some point. We’re both hoping to get back out this way to make some visits. It’s all going to depend on our schedules, vacation time, and finances of course. As always anyone is more than welcome to come visit.

I think I’ll be calling it a night for now. I’ve just been waiting for some laundry to get done. My apologizes for not updating you all to my most recent trip to MI. It can however be summed up in this: simply amazing! My favorite day was Saturday as we made breakfast together, made Father’s Day cards together, played a card game, talked, went to the beach, and watched a movie as we held each other. I just can’t wait to have more time with Vanessa! I know we’re going to be blessed to have some days over the 4th. I’m hoping we get to enjoy some fireworks together!

You can all be sure that I’m going to try and make a point of getting at least a weekly post up here once I get moved out there. I know you all will be itching to know what I’m up to! 😛 Well, tata!

    Giving Thanks Even Through The Tough Times

    Give thanks to the Lord , for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. – 1 Chronicles 16:34 NLT There are days, sometimes even seasons, in our lives that are tough, even painful, and yet we still need to give thanks to God. No matter what valleys we end up in God is there and we can find some blessings in our lives. I’m glad to be reminded today that, despite feeling like everything is falling apart around me, God is still there and He has blessed me with a lot.

    Youth Group Kickoff…

    Well, today work was pretty normal. Nothing too special. We had the youth group kickoff and things seemed to go pretty well. I got over to the church about 5:15 or so to get the sound system & projection equipment all setup. I worked on fine tuning OpenSong a little during break at work and then finished up with adding some announcements Andrew had. Maralee was willing to run presentation. My only problem with OpenSong thus far is that it has slow transitions. I still think it’s a pretty good tool for free on the Mac. We had a good intro meeting as small group leaders. We’ve got a great group of leaders this year, we always do, it’ll be fun working with them. The…

    Starting The Day With God

    Whatever you’ve done and whatever you face, turn to God first, each morning. Give him your day, and then allow him to guide each step. Something that I’ve tried to stick to for years is to start my day off with having time with God. I can’t say it always happens, or that it’s always the quality time it should be. We all need time to focus on God, and what better time than first thing in the morning to get our day’s focus in the right place first.  Once-A-Day Bible for Men: http://bible.com/r/9V

    Camping Trip…Sa-weat!

    What a weekend! I have to say that this weekend was the most fun and restful trip I’ve had in a long time. From the car-ride on Friday, to the trip back, the weekend was filled with amazing fellowship and much needed rest. On Friday Laura got to my house after work and we headed to the campground, St Croix State Park, to meet up with Chad. Chad had a conference in the area, so he was able to get to the campsite and setup camp before we got there. I had a great opportunity to talk with Laura and get to know her better during the car-ride. We arrived at about almost 9pm. Chad had everything up and going, including a campfire. We sat…

    When Life Get’s Busy, When Life Get’s Complicated

    Well, it’s almost the end of the month, but getting a post in now will still technically meet my hope of once a month right. I don’t have a lot of time…ha that seems to fit in nicely with the title huh…anyways, as it goes things seem more complicated these days as well. I find that it is so easy to fill up life with so many things, and really I’m not even talking about time wasters either. This past week Vanessa and I celebrated out 4th anniversary, though it seems crazy that it has even been that long, time flies. What stinks though is that over the past few days I feel like I’ve hardly seen my wife. It really isn’t as bad as…

  1. You’re acting like a teenager. Aren’t you like 45 or something? Geez. Grow up. GOSH.

    So if I have a thing for this girl who used to have a thing for this other guy but now has a thing for me, should we have a thing together or have things with other people who enjoy things like things, and after all those things, how many times will I have said things?

    Things.

  2. Ummm….I really think that BEACH…..is a truly relative term! I don’t think that MI has a beach….just a lakeside! Just my opinion!

    Caristy

  4. Hey, sounds like some good reasons there… “Beach” is like comparing Alaska’s beach to Florida’sBeach my friend… it doesnt work!
