100th Post!

100 posts ago my great friend Sarah made me start this blog. She started hers the day before me and kept me going until this became a routine. We (along with almost every SIB, camp friend, CILT girl, relative and YL kid I know) have been influenced by this incredible book called Cold Tangerines.



This is one of my very favorite bursts of wisdom from Shauna Neiquist:
"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 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 loud in the car with the windows open and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. And I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."



Today I got to live a life that "sizzled and popped."



Tonight we loved the gift of life.
