"Probably the best part was cheering Michelle up with Tyler, and him telling her that they are like Romeo and Juliet ("You can NEVER leave me. If you do it'll be like Romeo and Juliet. You'll die, and then I'll kill myself, and you will wake up and then see me dead and kill yourself." "Uh... thanks?" "You are my JULIET! Deal with it.") and him telling her that if his future wife doesn't like Michelle, he's taking back the ring." -Molly Woodford.
I never thought i'd be someone's Juliet, even non-romantically

Reunited with Sunrise...only to be torn apart yet again...
This weekend was pretty incredible. It didnt start well but everything ended up great.
I saw friends i haven't seen since the summer...which seems like forever ago by the way.
It was good. The worship band Fly Sparrow Fly, is amazing. Chris janzen is so effing talented.
Luke Nielson has the most amazing voice, I could honestly just listen to him forever.
The war college kids ran a prayer walk for human trafficking..which was a theme this weekend.
I'm pretty ashamed about how oblivious i've been to it all. I think it was just easier to "not realise" or in all honesty just not think about it all. Which is incredibly selfish.
The shirts we sold at camp came from child labour and sweat shops, that's a slap in the face.
You cant hear about the things we heard about this weekend without wanting to do something.
Tyler decided not to wear anything that isnt fair trade and i think that's pretty incredible.
But lately thats the only way to describe him. I'm so proud of the person and the leader he's become. He is one of the most selfless people i know, and easily the best friend i have ever had. He speaks to people with confidence, but not arrogance which i have to give him props for. And he leads so easily, people want to follow him without him asking. He's a role model and a strong christian. He tells it how it is, as bluntly as he needs to, even to me.
He flat out told me not to sit around accepting my burdens and really do something about it. I respect him for that. Most others would rather put all their effort into making me happy short term. He's more interested in making me take responsibility and be as strong as he knows i can be. And i have nothing but respect for that. He's younger than me but i look up to him. He told me this weekend it hurts him to see me cry, and he's not the first person who's said that. Molly says it's the way i cry, and the sound of it. But i think that i usually hold up as strong as i can, that when i finally do cry, it's because it's impossible to hold it in anymore. I think it scares my friends to see me that vulnerable. It's also kind of amazing to realise how truly loved i am, because sometimes it's easy to forget.
