looking over at justin as a student was sharing during large group time about how she met Jesus and went from death to life, and seeing him crying.
the huge art mural that someone created, showing lives in the bible that were met by Jesus.  brought me to tears.
the sweetest reunion with so so many of the dearest ones.
how much holland laughed at leah trying to get over the fence.
ben griswold's wart club.  oh my gosh.
learning about the difference between art that is broken and art that is redemptive, and how i, alexi, can uniquely contribute to creating redemptive art.
​holland.  every minute i got with her!  guh.  i can't believe how much i love her.
mainhia's laugh!  i've always loved that girl.
when i first saw tj and jenna and sean and how they are so tj and jenna and sean.  ughh.  definitely teared up.  they mean so much to me!
sitting by the water with becca and seeing her face and hearing her voice.
leah freakin sanders!  there's no one like that girl.  oh my gosh.  seriously, what joy.  especially when she's with holland.  forget it.
zach murray and his girl pants and poop stories and how he forgot what my name actually is and that it's not just lex.  ohhh, life would be so much less interesting without that one.
the blinding sunrise.
cassie being such a safe person for me.  i know i can always be 100% myself with her.  
jay and andrea!  they are so special.  i care about them so much.
just being with becky.  what a presence that girl has!
missing ariel and coral so much.
allie tang!  allie tang in america!  
​...man, you guys, this weekend was the sweetest, most precious minute in time where so many people i love were finally in the same place.  it was everything my heart wanted.  except maybe taylor and isaac could have been there.
rachel douglas and her hugs and joy and wanting to share things with me.  she is so good at making people feel loved and important.
beautiful leah bartsch.  every time i see her i actually can't believe how beautiful she is.
watching sean lead and that sean excitement and passion for things he really believes in.
that precious girl in my track who was comfortable enough to cry to me.  that is always the biggest honor to me.
lynita and jenna's crazy ability to make anyone feel like the most special person in the room.
watching amy do what she is so good at.
so much goodness everywhere.
