Whoa doggy!

Hey y'all! Random thoughts for tonight:
Went to the wedding this last weekend at Maranatha. It was awesome! My friends Tim and Abby got married, whom I know from both camp and Briercrest. It was great to see them tie the knot and give such an amazing testimony to everyone there. She looked just gorgeous! I almost cried and I kept hitting my friend Kacy on the shoulder and saying, "They're getting married!" afterwards she kept saying, "they're married." She didn't hit me, but the effect was the same I think!
Laureen came with me to camp and everyone loved her! We fooled a few ppl who didn't know I was a twin and even though the weekend went by quickly, at the end of it, it felt as if she had been there forever. She mingled and joked with the best of them and even gave a few backrubs! It was great. I love her so much! God just blessed her by having her there also and everyone was like, "now next time Crystal comes in you have to come with her!" or "you'd better bring Laureen back with you next time you come by!" So that was awesome! Yeah!
We grew alot, even just this last weekend and we definitely grew closer! Yeah non-air-conditioned car-bonding! It was good times and i would do it again!
But, on another note, seeing Tim and Abby get married, seeing the way that Linnea and Jeremy are handling their first month of marriage and just summer experiences have made me convinced that, if you have the right person, marriage can be such a blessing and totally worth it. I wasn't convinced before. My family is huge on divorce and short relationships (extended family, mom and dad, and sisters' relationships). But yeah. God is really changing my heart and even though I rejoice(d) with those who are making the plans (yay for Jael and Zak!!!) and those who got married, I just see the joy and God alive in their relationships and it makes my soul very happy. So, invite God into your relationships please and allow Him to blow the sails of your loveship in His direction! ah, I do love imagery....ships on the sea of life, mrrmrrmrr!
Umm...Subway is good. I worked with Jamie tonight and her friend yesterday. Shared the gospel with the friend and Jamie knows it. I just wonder sometimes what keeps ppl from getting on the Jesus Train! Man it's the best train ride ever. It's a narrow path, but it's completely worth the fare. yeah....I love Jesus lots.
I like sleep too...I'd best get going. peace out my friends. Write me fun notes! I'll keep you up to date soon, eh?
P.s. Cleaning is going AMAZING! God is just so good and I think that I can totally fit all of my stuff into two car loads! Awesome! Oh yeah! Go Jesus! Go Jesus!
