I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."

anticipation

My favorite place in the whole world is Camp Tecumseh. Yesterday I got to visit for about an hour to drop my sister off. I was so happy to run into these awesome people:

I love Maddy and Sarah. They are so fun and so great. They were both part of the best summer of my life during which I learned the true meaning of joy. I can't wait to travel back to camp tomorrow to see so many more fun people at staff training. staff training. It seems so weird that I will be on staff this year. I don't feel like I'm that old. But I am so beyond excited for this whole summer and I know it will be just awesome. Another Tecumseh summer full of joy.
