good times

i thought i would practice what i preached two weeks ago and take some time to reflect where i've come from, so i am compiling a list of all the great memories from the college ministry over the past three years. please help elizabeth and me remember by posting your favorite memories in the comment section. also, check this post over the next few weeks. we will continue to add stuff as we think of it (and as it continues to happen!). these are in no particular order:

1. a new one: indo boarding in a box-filled apartment
