Zeppelin and Life

Well, it seems very anti-climatic to write about it now, but the Zeppelin show was amazing. It happened almost two months ago, but I am just now getting to write about it. I guess I have just been busy with lots of other things. Phil and I had the time of our lives in London. We got 3rd row at the show after waiting in line all day. We were so close that Jimmy Page almost drooled on us! It was simply amazing and trying to describe the events of that night is nearly impossible. It is one of those events that you just have to experience. We were blown away. It was a fairly expensive trip for me, but it was totally worth it.
I wrote an article for the Wichita paper about my experience, but it is no longer on their website. If you want to get a bit of a feel for the concert, check out some pics that I took:

Since then, I have been back in Wichita working with Hospitals of Hope and substitute teaching at Trinity every now and then. I've started working on the bathroom in the house and I've been playing in a band with some of my friends. It's instrumental- kind of a mix between Sigur Ros, The Album Leaf and Envy. Hopefully things will come together well with that band.
Monday I leave for Bolivia for a week with HOH. I'm heading down there to get a feel for the ministry and to meet the staff from there. It will be good to get familiar with everything that they do there since I'm not completely aware of all the ins and outs of what goes on. Yet another trip. Good times are ahead.
