Hanging out with Shelton almost everyday this past summer had its perks. We did a lot of fun and spontaneous things. 10 pm one night Shelton and I came up with this great idea to watch the sunrise up Mauna Kea, so we got our things ready, took a short nap and made our way up the mountain around 3 am.

I was hoping that maybe God could give Shelton the answers he’s looking for that I can’t explain, because when Shelton would ask me why was it such a big deal I couldn’t really give him a straight up answer. Something in me just kept telling me that it was wrong, and that he is better than those
