Days of Dancing

ByTim Nolte
I happy to say that the dancing seems to be going really well. We had our first class last night and we even got a little practice in tonight. Actually, funny enough Vanessa gave me a call tonight right as I was trying to work out some of the dance moves myself. She came over to my place to join me in some practicing. We had so much fun just working on the steps and laughing with each other. I really can’t help but smile as I look into Vanessa eyes as I lead her while we dance. So the verdict comes in, a German man & a Dutch woman can dance together. 😉

Things have been quite crazy as of late. Last week starting Friday it seemed like it was 2.5 days of running. I got involved with doing sound for a new ministry that launched at church this past Sunday. It was a little intense and even a little intimidating. I haven’t even been going to Daybreak long and I’m already been a part of so many things. Don’t misunderstand me here. It’s been wonderful to be able to be serving at church, that’s one thing I love to do so much.

Well, work continues to keep me busy of course. It’s sort of hard to really talk about my job. A lot of what I do is so technical that only a very few would even understand what I’m talking about. I do still enjoy my job a lot. Every day there seems to be a new challenge before me, or some new idea to try. I can see however that I am missing being involved in the whole IT world. I don’t nearly keep up on all the techie stuff I used to. Most of my world revolves around web design and database development. This isn’t all bad, I’ve been able to develop these skill even more since I’ve started working here. Actually, it’s kind of cool to be able to focus on this area. I’ve been involved in the whole web thing for so many years, now I can devote all my working days to this area of the techie world. I am seeing that I really need to work on reclaiming my creative side. I’ve been so involved in the technical world that I’ve lost some of the freedom found in the creative world.

I do have to say, I miss so many of you guys back in MN. It’s been great to see some of you online and catch up, even for only a short while. Hopefully it’ll work out to see some of you in December. Thank you all for your efforts to keep in touch. I hope you can hear how much joy I have living here though. Every day God brings something else my way to show me how He brought me here, that it wasn’t just my decision to be close to Vanessa. I do see however that God has blessed both Vanessa and I so much in our relationship. I do love her very much. She always knows how to show me she cares for me and encourages me in so many ways. I am so blessed beyond what I deserve.

Well, I do suppose that I’d better cut things off here before it gets beyond late. God bless to all!

P.S. If you haven’t checked out the photo gallery lately there are pictures that both Vanessa and I have uploaded of things we’ve done since I’ve been here. Keep a look out for photos from the big Birthday bash this Saturday. 😀

  • I’m Bad With Relationships…

    ByTim Nolte
    I just can’t seem to understand why I’m so bad with keeping good relationships. Is it so hard to just pickup the phone? I can only figure that I’ve been so used to have so much time on my own that when I’m not with Vanessa I just feel like doing my own thing. At the same time and can’t wait for the next time to spend with Vanessa. I can’t wait for our trip to MN to see so many that I haven’t seen for so long. At times I feel like I’m constantly torn between the relationships that I’ve seem to have left behind and trying to start new relationships here. I’ve never been very good with the whole thing of keeping in…

    Change Me…Sanctus Real

    ByTim Nolte
    Did I change your mind, with what I said last night? Did I break your heart, by straying so far? From what you have in mind, for my life? Would you change me, from who I’ve been lately? ‘Cause I know I’m nothing without you. Did my words betray, the patience I once claimed? Can’t you see it in my face? I need your grace. Would you change me, from who I’ve been lately? ‘Cause I know I’m nothing without you. Would you save me, from the way I’ve been lately? ‘Cause I can’t see living without you. Would you speak to me? Show me what I need.

    Weekend Recap…

    ByTim Nolte
    Ok, so I guess I took a break from the whole blog thing, sort of. Basically I ended up adding some additional features and tweaks. I never did get to see any friends. Oh well, hopefully another time. Sunday, my family and I headed off to the Minnesota State Fair with my aunt and uncle. My sister invited two friends so they basically went off and did their own thing. It started out with kind of crumby weather on the way, but it cleared up by the time we got their and started walking around. I can’t say that I say anything exceptional. Did visit the technology building (surprised?! LOL), and Unisys had some pretty cool bio-metric stuff they were showing off. HP was there…

    A Little Behind…LOL

    ByTim Nolte
    I just realized how funny that title could be read. LOL. Anyways, I just realized I haven’t posted since like Friday, WOW! Ok, so I should have a lot to write about right, well not so much. Also this going to bed early thing has really been cutting into my blogging time. That and the fact that I’ve been doing some reading each night besides. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day for everything. Maybe I’ll have to start doing a mid-day thing, like during lunch. Since I’m usually a long poster this would at least break my posts up into smaller chunks. Well, hmm…I’ll try to get something more in, to recap the weekend, perhaps in the morning. I’m off…

  • Update, Long Overdue…

    ByTim Nolte
    I’ve been married now for about 2.5 months. Married life has been what I hoped and more, some good and some challenging. We’ve gotten into more of a routine now, but not so much that life isn’t interesting. We’ve been trying to work on the house. A few weekends ago we put up gutters. That was an interesting job, with some challenges, but it’s all good. We’ll be doing some yard work in another few weeks. Once the grass grows back I think we’ll have a pretty nice front yard. Work has been going pretty good. The past couple of weeks I feel as though I’ve gotten nothing really accomplished, at least nothing that anyone can see. I began building a MapServer and learning the…
