From Ethan

Hey,
     So, I've still been loving my job.  The other day I got to order over a thousand dollars worth of audio equipment- that was super fun, and some of it should arrive here tomorrow!  I picked some good songs for church including a great special song by Andrew Bird.  Today I created my own sheet music for the song "I could sing of your love forever"- it took a while, but I got much better at it by the time I finished.
     A couple days ago we all watched "Twilight" together.  It was hilarious- oh the teenage angst- good stuff.  Then last night we watched the sequel "New Moon" which was also super great (Edward is way cooler, and hotter than Jacob).
     In the last couple days we also made it downtown to see this really awesome event.  One of the biggest bat colonies in the world lives under a bridge in downtown Austin.  And in August every night at dusk, they all fly out together.  I believe there are somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million bats.  It was so awesome.  It looked like columns of smoke going out for miles.  You should search "Austin Bats" on youtube- there's a couple great videos (we were on the bridge).
     Tonight I cooked steak for my very first time- crazy huh.  It was delicious.  My good old dad taught me to marinate it in balsamic, worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard and fresh sage.  It's the best.
     That's about all for now.  It's just still really exciting to be here and to be trying new things and going new places constantly.  I'm loving it, and I'm really happy right now.
