It was four years ago this week that Jonathan's DTS started in Kona, Hawaii. He says he remembers meeting me...or Anne...the first night. I don't remember it, so maybe it was Anne. But I remember calling Cambria before she came, telling Lulu and Naomi the first week that we'd be friends. I remember random weekend hikes and drives.
Sweaty errands all over campus and outrageous outfits from the boutique.
I remember The Great Giveaway of 2009...Naomi gave me her last $5.
I remember learning a lot and being amazed at the way God was moving in all our lives.
Here are some snaps from one of our first field trips. Guys, who knew the future we had in store.
(Linds...no words.)
I, for one, didn't know I'd get to travel the world with so many of you. I didn't know I'd get to come to your weddings or that some of you would come to mine.
I didn't know I'd get to stay at your houses and meet your spouses.
I didn't know that Jonny G. Photography would be permanently a part of me.
But I'm so glad. For you, for all of it.
Thanks for living courageously and taking risks, peeps.
Jono! This was the weekend The Crush happened (on my end.) Look at that face. How could it not?!
And some other randoms from the DTS (I didn't have a camera during these months so I have little documentation.)
Naomi + my bed = commonplace.
Staff hike before the DTS began. Di, Anne-our faces (our souls!) were so innocent. Sigh.
Some outreach pics...really only a couple.
Oops, here are some more photos of the cliff jumping day.
Look at that belly. (Jon's, not mine of course.)
Sav battled with the bumper. And lost.
Go, Cale, go.
Jaylene! Remember how we didn't realize your hair was permed for something like two years?! Hahahaha.
Love your face, my dear Cams.
Rachel, have you deleted me from FB yet? I guess I should go look....
And 12 hearts, of course. Love you guys.
And the blessed end...or the beginning.
Just a little bit of sentiment for this Sunday afternoon.
