Hello all,
This is my first weblog. I have a couple of webpages that I have built, but everyone and their dog has one of these now...why not me?
All about me..hmm. Well I am 25 years old, and am from Hibbing, MN. After high school, I went down to Minneapolis to get a degree in radio and television broadcasting, something that I LOVE to do. I worked for about five years at a christian rock radio station which prompted me to go into radio. After realizing I would be better off living on the streets because the initial pay was so low...I decided to go into education...which doesnt make any sense because it pays about the same anyways. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Minnesota State University Moorhead, which I believe is the best teacher preperation college in the country. I am licensed to teach anywhere from K-8 with the ability to teach social studies at the middle school level. I have a Minnesota Licensure, and am in the process of getting my ND licensure as well....too many hoops for them to go through...funny how the lowest paying teacher state in the country is so picky on its licensure stuff. I might possibly move (with my girlfriend Marcie) to Las Vegas, so I will probably have a licensure there as well. Currently I am working for the city of Moorhead, MN, mowing baseball, softball, football, and soccer complexes on a large 16ft mower.
Marcie is 24 years old and from Detroit Lakes, MN. She graduated before me from Concordia St Paul (private lutheran college), with the same degree that I have. She is currently going to MSUM for her masters in school counseling, and may or may not go back in the fall. We met online a while back in spring 2002....I got her mad at me, then we started talking again in the fall, then we met finally in December2002. We met a couple of more times in the spring of 2003, and we started 'going out' around that march. She is currently a Resident Assistant at a home for pregnant moms and a part time church secretary at a Methodist Church that we attend.
other stuff about me. I grew up catholic and attended a catholic parochial school from K-6. I then started attending both Catholic and Lutheran churches (dad was catholic, Mom was lutheran). Mom then started going to a pentacostal church and fell in love with it and hasnt turned back. I started going there too, was scared at first, but then after some time, I realized the great deal of importance God has in our lives and I learned so much that I never had even heard of before in my catholic and lutheran experience. I am pentacostal now, although I attend a great methodist church with Marcie and her Baptist church back in Detroit Lakes.
I own a 1985 Ford Crown Victoria LTD which was my first car and I am too stubborn to get rid of it because I like it soo much. I also have a 1996 Chevrolet (ugh!) Lumina LS. Not a bad car, I just unfortunatly got it when stuff started going wrong with it (computer stuff, brakes, tires, transmission, head gaskets, battery, alternator...blinker fluid....the list goes on). I also own a 1978 Honda Gold Wing GL1000, which as we all know, or should know...the Gold Wing is the best bike out there. FYI...Harleys are made with american parts, overseas...GoldWings are made in the United States....BOOYAH! Yes, I know...the Gold Wings and Harleys are the more popular touring bikes out there...lots of competition.
