Quiet night at home waiting anxiously to get out snowboarding tomorrow. Stress levels have been high with the planning of weddings, bachelor parties, and applications for school so play becomes an important way to cope. Somehow I found myself here which I almost never visit. Then compelled to update my profile because....well, I don't know really. A hello to the few of you that actually visit this site.
Long time ago... What? You want to know more about me? Stop it. Really, tell me more about yourself. Well, if you insist... I was born and raised in a fantastic family full of fantastic people who continue to do fantastic things. Although Minnesota was a beautiful place, the frigid cold and six foot snow drifts led me to Venezuela in my last year of college. I taught English there for awhile while developing my ability to consume dollar beers while sputtering segments of spanish. I came back for a woman. Story of my life, but as you may have guessed, it didn't work out. I started working with kids and fell in love with the work. I moved to Denver (with another woman, which...didn't work out) and started working with at risk youth. Met the love of my life and some of the best friends money couldn't buy. Was it enough? Not quite. After several years in the field Sarah and I (see: love of my life) decided we wanted a break so we packed up our bags (sold the rest) and moved to Beverly. (actually Central America) We lived there for a year, putting dimes together and walking up and down the beach. Of course, beach walking does get tiring and you become acutely aware of your inbred American drive to be completing a task or achieving a goal. We decided to spend the end of our year traveling Central America (which was a task and a goal...check), and seeing the sites.I'm back in Denver now, again working with children and their families (predominantly Spanish speaking) that have involved in abuse or neglect . Stressful? Yes. Rewarding? Absolutely. I recently proposed to Sarah and remarkably she replied with something that resembled a yes! So, I got that going for me. :)I'm fun. A short yet apt description of myself. I enjoy reading, playing strategical games, tinkering with computers, pedalling my bike, sitting quitely, yelling loudly, catching up with friends, and being with Sarah.I enjoy people. Without them we would all be very lonely.I imagine that later I will stop in and add something deeper here, but for now I'm bored with my computer and I'm gonna go grab a bagel. (that's Baaagel in Minnesotan)
