And the adventure begins

The trip is very nearly here... all your bags are packed.
You just woke up to your alarm clock going off at 5:00 am and after wondering why it is again that you're waking up at such a bizzare hour, it hits you and a good rush of adrenalyne pumps through your system and sends you flying out of bed the second it hits you.

Before you know it you're downstairs in the shower, not considering the fact that the sound of running water may awaken the rest of your family. Once out you wander around thinking "what should I eat for breakfast?" and after rejecting all possibilities that come to mind because nothing at the moment really sounds all that great to eat, ya head back upstairs and start dragging your packed goods out of your room and into the hall. You set down the last thing and wonder suddenly if you forgot something...but how could you? You've started packing when was it? Oh yeah... just about a week ago. haha. Easily excited much? Possibly :-)

There's nothing else to do now... you wanna go downstairs and check your email and see if by any freakishly weird chance anybody is on IM at 5:45. Har har. Like that is likely to happen. But then you hear the sound of a door opening and mom is up. Once she is awake enough to really comprehend much of what you say, you eagerly remind her that you've gotta be down to the meeting point in less than 45 minutes. She says "Yeah, I know" and heads off to grab some breakfast. You? Well, you do eventually think of something to eat. You sort of have to, since after that you won't get another chance for a while.

Before you know it, it's 45 minutes later and you're off in a van with a group of friends on a 7 hour car trip driving them nuts while you snap photos like the paparazzi.

Gotta love the first day of Camp Hope :-)

See you in 80 days!

(yeah I got my brochure in the mail today.....haha can ya tell?)

hmmm....I can't remember any of them now. they're those dreams that kind of fade out after a day or two and you just remember not sleeping well. which is probably why I'm so ridiculously tired.
my weird dreams usually have to do with people I know from totally different places being all together in the same place like they know each other.
