I would like to introduce you to a couple more awesome people in my life.
Sarah Welker is know to Camp Four Echoes as Goggles. I call her Goggs (and when I'm not paying attention to how I type "Googs"). Goggs is a really cool girl, she's a freshman at North Idaho College in Cour d'Alene. She randomly sends me messages telling me she loves and misses me even though we don't end up talking often because she is in HIGH demand! I once calculated how many seconds it had been since we talked. It was a ridiculously high number... but I digress. Goggs was there for me at camp when I was having a really hard day. On this particular day I was very very angry about something. So angry that I threw up from rage. Goggs who had been awake for 24 hours told me to go take a nap and she would take my campers. Goggs was willing to deal with six 9th graders (one of them was incredibly annoying) while she must have been dying of tired, and she was more worried about my peace of mind. That is some love right there.
This is Alina Kay Morse. I call her Haddock unless it's a serious discussion. Haddock is the first person I "met" from Camp Four Echoes. She friend requested me and I ignored it because I had no idea who she was... Turns out she and I are pretty much the same person. I cannot count the times she's said exactly what I was thinking or vice versa. We're both grammar freaks (Nazis as my roommate would call us), we both love hockey, we both love baseball (although I think she enjoys the game and I mostly like the players), the list goes on. One thing about Haddock I really enjoy is that we talk everyday even if it's just a text that says
"we haven't talked today, I miss you" I also love that when one of us has a dream about a wedding the other will ask "what did my dress look like?" We are that cool. Haddock is always there to listen to me whine. She watched a really bad Hockey game with me just so we could see each other. She even came and rescued me from Pullman once.
Black and yellow, black and yellow!... Sorry I got carried away there for a second. Jarrod let Eleanor and me take this photo after Cru last year. I call it his GQ shot because he's all coordinated and such. Anyways... I met Jarrod last January? February maybe. I rode in the same car with him to Cru because he's friends with the girl who drove me. I didn't really know anyone who I rode with but I wanted to go to Cru and I didn't want to walk across campus to get a ride in the same car as Eleanor. So I rode with Caitlyn, and Jamie, and Jarrod. The second week in a row I rode with them, I was invited to stay in Caitlyn and Jamie's room to watch a movie with the three of them. I declined because I was uncomfortable spending more time with them than necessary (I later got over that :p). After trying to talk me into staying Jarrod hugged me goodbye. To this day I'm not sure why I let him or why I hugged him back. I'm not what you would call a "hug person" and I may have just been shocked enough to let him do it. After he hugged me he said something that still sticks with me "See, two weeks ago we didn't know each other, and now we're hugging!" I think a week later Jarrod discovered exactly how jumpy I am and took full advantage of that whenever he saw me and knew I hadn't seen him. Jarrod and I have become closer in the 10 or 11 months that I've known him. I can tell him anything and he is one "my people" meaning I do tell him everything... even if it means he has to interrogate me about my blog to find out the whole truth he always gets it eventually. To quote him "I'm gonna keep [him] around for a long time whether [he] likes it or not."
