3 hours and 10 minutes

3 Hours and 10 minutes until Elevation. I could take up seventy million pages trying to explain how way beyond excited I am for Elevation this year, but that would be silly. Any of you who have gone before know how basically amazing this trip is, and are probably feeling the same things I am right about now. I got about 3 hours of "sleep" last night and was up all day just waiting for the moment I could climb on that bus with all my loved friends and depart for one of the best weeks in my summer! Its finally here, the thing I've been waiting for for months, and I can't tell you how majorly PUMPED I am! See you all there!! :D

Someone asked me a very good thing over the weekend, that I will ask you all to keep and mind and think about over this next week, and that is What makes this trip such a valuable experience?

I thought about it for a really long time. To be honest, I was stumped. I named a few oridnary things that any person who hasn't gone on the trip would say, but I couldn't put into words. I couldn't explain my emotions on how much this week means to me and how much I look forward to each year. So this year, I am going to think about it, and try to show and tell this person how valuable this trip really is!

See you all in now 3 hours and 5 minutess! be back in Cincy in a week...adios!

much love, katie (steph)
