As of June 2015 I'm serving as a bus operator for Metro Transit. Toni and I are living in Roseville -- she has moved her Wellspring Massage Therapy practice to this area too.
As of October 2016 Toni and I have moved to Millwood Avenue. We'll be renting out the finished portion of our basement here as soon as we get it ready. Toni and I have gotten involved with Roseville Covenant Church. I heard God calling me to sing with the choir there, which was a big surprise to me. Until I needed to start working on house projects every day, I had been doing some volunteer work with Bridging.org and had been connected with a young adult Christian community CommunitasMN.net, also here in Roseville. I'm hoping to get back to Bridging once the house projects are taking less time. |
