Back in the USA…
Posted: December 2nd, 2005 | Author: admin | Filed under: General, Personal News | Comments OffWell guys, i’ve made it back to the good ol’ US of A. *smile* I miss some things/people in Holland, but am glad to be back to my home land. I do have sad news tho…My photo & video photos will be taking a break from production for a while. The camera i have been using is not my own and the owner requested it back after letting me use it for the last three months. I hope to get a new camera, but that will be a while off yet. I am in search of temp. work for the next 6-8 months and am gathering TV/Film school advise. I’m also trying to save for a few big events as well. More information on that to come. Please pray for me. And if you hear of any job openings / places to stay in the Valparaiso, IN area please let me know!

Looking for a room in Den Haag, Rotterdam or Delft.
Posted: September 12th, 2005 | Author: admin | Filed under: Personal News | Comments Offthis weekend was nice. i was able to see Abigail and talk with her alot. *smile* I am however really starting to suffer from some culture shock! I really like Holland, but i am so not used to the whole hostel work/living style of things. I am/was also really not prepared for the complete change in enviroments like i’ve been going through. Please pray that i adjust well and that this homesickness and uncomfortibility goes away soon. I am so used to having my own space and it’s now two weeks into or so into this trip and i’ve not really had any alone time. *laughs* Needless to say i would love to find a room/small studio apartment to rent over here for like 150-200 Euros a month. But that is “unheard of cheap” so it would be a total God thing in order to happen!!! My schedual has also been changed at the hostel (again) and is now Tuesday’s and Friday’s now. That should make is possible for me to go to church in Delft now! It’ll just be expensive to take the train there every week. *laughs* *sigh* o well. Work is ok, but the days are long… *confused face* In the two days i work i get in 34 hours!!! So a room to rent would be so nice…i could just stay at the apartment to rest and then work on webstuff from a cafe, go to church, ect. And have that space i’ve been talking about. lol. In time right?

hey kids!!!
Posted: August 30th, 2005 | Author: admin | Filed under: General, Personal News | Comments Offhere is the dealio… i’m in Dublin right now at an internet cafe (not a wi-fi hotspot) so i can’t post photos, but i will once i can in Holland. I leave for Amsterdam tommarow, please pray i get from the hostel to the airport much easier then i went from the airport to the hostel today. i kinda got lost, but i met a TON of really nice people that helped me get there eventually. *smile* it should have been a 15 min walk and it turnes out to be almost 40! O well, i got all checked in and dropped off my stuff then headed out into the city. I only got 2 hours of sleep last night on the place, but thank God the seat next to me was open so i could lay-down. If it had been taken idk if i would have slept at all! So far today i checked into the hostel about 9am and saw several churches, dublin castle, trinity college and i even ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in Dublin and it’s only like 3:17pm now! It was expensive tho, so i didn’t get a hat or sweatshirt or anything. I’m excited about getting to Amsterdam tomarrow night and i hope a good night’s rest will do me well tonight. Keep praying God’s favor has been all over me through customs and travel so far, i expect it to keep up! Thanks so much for all of your support and prayers guys!!! Later.
