i'm alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic,

i'm alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic,

i'm alive, awake, alert,

alert awake alive,

i'm alive awake alert, enthusiastic!

this beloved camp song was sung to me every day for a week for four years

to try and get me out of bed.

my siblings dread the task, and so did my camp leaders.

future roommates, beware.

holler for ycl's.

it's spring break,

and this is how i feel today.

summer and i went to the gym and ran 2 miles and did an intense ab workout.

she drove because she got her license two days ago. she did very well.

we played basketball with larry.

it was 67 degrees today.

i rode butterscotch and went on a mini trail ride.

i polished my saddle.

i cleaned the barn.

all my laundry is done.

[however, not because i did it, but because grandma is here:)]

i got a car wash.

i played with our new baby ducks and chicks.

mom, michelle, grandma, natali, ryan and i rolled up our pant legs

(some higher than others)

and tried to get the first tan of the season.

michelle swears she got burnt from the 25 minutes she was out there.

(she didn't)

i feel like winter is finally over.

the farmers are plowing their fields and preparing to plant.

leaves and debris from the winter are being burned.

the air smells so fresh i just want to run without stopping.

i can't stop smiling.

i feel alive.

oh, and i just mixed up some crystal light.

:)
