Happy 3^rd Anniversary Jane and Dane!!

About 11 years ago I started working for a decent-sized California summer ministry called Sonshine. While I was there I met a girl named Jane who had carrot-colored hair and was into things like social justice, recycling, swimming and running. We became instant friends (even though I wasn't into ANY of those things, but her name was Jane and there was a Dave Matthew's Band song called, "the song that Jane likes". So that pretty much guaranteed that we'd get along). We stayed friends, and eventually Jane moved to Vancouver to go to Regent College. Then eventually I moved to Vancouver to go to Regent College. When I got there Jane was all excited to have me meet this boy named Dane who she was dating. She was really excited about him, and he was really excited about, well, ninja turtles. Seriously, he even had tattoos of ninja turtles. He also liked Rocky a little bit.

It's been a long time, but with the school season starting around the corner, I thought I'd throw one of these out there. Last week, I'm pretty sure I can say, was easily the worst week of the year. I'm not even 100% sure why, but at the very least, and most obvious.

I hope this isn't too negative for you. It's therapeutic for me. If you don't like rundowns of crappy weeks, I suggest you skip this post.

• I got in a near-fight with a friend about something stupid.
  
• I had "relational" issues with someone else.
