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!

    Setting Goals And Going After Them

    Setting goals is fun and games. Going after them is another matter. Without perspiration to match your inspiration, your dream imagined will turn into a dream deferred. Chase The Lion Something that I’ve had a hard time with over the years is having clear goals to work towards. Even in my job it’s most often been a matter of just getting direction from others or meeting the immediate needs. This seems counter to my planner personality but it’s never been the short term, knowing what needs to get done, planning that has been my challenge. It’s never been a real priority for me to have goals and a plan for seeing those goals met. I think I’ve always had ideas that have come to mind…

    Completed My First Marathon…

    Today was a pretty big day for me. I completed my first ever marathon. It was a tough day, with the down pouring rain, wind gusts of 20 some miles per hour, and getting cramps in my legs that slowed me down, I ended the race pretty discouraged. Not to mention I ended up having to be taken to the medic tent after crossing the finish line, which was something my running partner and I had talked about not wanting to have happen to us. Let’s just say it was a pretty humbling experience. I’m so thankful for all of the encouragement from the many Hope Water International runners the kept encouraging me on the way to the finish line. I especially appreciate Ron Bussa and Nick…

    Far And Few Between…

    I know it can only be a quick one. I can’t believe it’s been over a month since my last post. I remember the days when I could barely posting only single entry each day on my blog. I’m really thinking once life settles down a little, that I really want to get back into at least giving some updates with what Vanessa and I are up to. Only 19 more days until I’ll be a married man! I really can hardly believe it. And the thing that seems even more amazing is that I’m going to be marrying an unbelievable and amazing woman like Vanessa. I only wish that it was easier for everyone that I know from back in MN to have the…

    Apple’s Makin Me Angry, Help Comes to the Rescue!

    Ok, so I’ve been a little frustrated with the new iTunes. I’ve actually reverted back to the previous version. It took some hunting to actually find the old installer. I decided to help others out who also wanted to go back to 4.9 and I posted the instructions that worked for me along with a link to the file I’ve got hosted on my website. Well the powers that be overseeing the Apple discussions sent me a notification that my post had been removed. Then I reposted and it was quitely removed without any notification. What irritates me is that there was no clear reason why it was removed. Well I posted a third time and didn’t include the link to my download site. Not…

    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…
  • Congrats Peter & Becky…

    Well, I headed down to the Twin Cities today for Peter & Becky’s wedding. I’m glad I gave myself plenty of time. I kind of got lost but still made it an hour before the wedding. I got to see some former camp staff I haven’t seen for awhile. It was fun to reconnect with people again. Greg & Janet sat next to me at the wedding and I got a little caught up on what’s been happening at camp more recently. The wedding was great. I do have to say though that weddings are getting hard for me. Genesis 2:18 was referenced a lot today, which is fitting for a wedding. However, for a guy in my situation, it’s a hard thing to listen…
