It all started last summer………

Ok……technically it started like 2 years ago but who's counting?

One Wednesday night my youth department teacher, Jeff, asked me and my friends Kaitlyn and Jessi-kate to go in the kitchen with him to talk…he told us that we were old enough to go into the teen youth department.

So next Wednesday we were placed in the teen room. While we were there, we were completely confused. We sat in the very back, watching Joe, Michael, and the others jump up to answer bible questions.

Later on that summer we (the church group) went to Alpine Bible Camp. That summer was the start of an obsession and a new beginning of a peculiar friendship. We took the van on the three hour ride to West Virginia.

In the driver seat was our youth pastor, Randy. In shot-gun was his wife, Debbie. The first row was accommodated by Michael, Johnny, and Michael's younger brother, Dustin.

The second row was myself (Shay-la), Cody (who is my identical twin sister in a fraternal kind of way), and Kaitlyn.

The third row was Zac and Becka (we'll get back to them later…)

Finally the fourth and final row was Joe (aka Dodo) and Joseph (who is Becka's older brother)

About half-way through the ride after cans of Amp (all rights reserved) and "you know you're a redneck" jokes, Cody, me, and Kaitlyn couldn't help but notice Zac and Becka…
