July Adventures

        I’m finally back home after a 12-day zig-zag trip across the United Sates. I started off going to the wedding of good friends Wilson and Amy Ryland in super hot Phoenix, AZ. I arrived in time to get some good hang-out time with Wil before the all-day bachelor party. We got to hang out on the Lake, have tons of fun in town and go bowling. It was good to see old friends like Ty and Kay and catch up with new ones like Zach. Wil and Amy are enjoying Hawaii right now.
        From Phoenix I flew to Chicago for my second visit to the annual Ekklesia Project conference held on the campus of DePaul University. It was also a chance to catch up with old friends from last year and make new ones this year, as well as just enjoying my time with Kaz.
        Next on the itinerary was Jeff and Meredith’s wedding in San Jose (that link will continue to update as people add photos). I got into SJ on Wednesday and was able to put things together for Jeff’s bachelor party with the help of Sammer. We had a blast making Jeff do all kinds of crazy things in San Jose as well as some more serious time of loving on him and praying over him. The wedding was amazing and beautiful. It was such a delight to see those two finally get married.
        Right after the reception I drove up to San Francisco in the middle of the night to hang out for a day with the awesome people at church of the Sojourners. They’re a Christian Community/Church in the heart of the Mission district of San Francisco who are striving to live out Jesus’ love for us by practicing communal living, simplicity and hospitality.
        I will be posting more on each of these trips, but I thought I’d give a quick run-down of where I’ve been recently.
