what do YOU stay awake for?

I love treating myself to Carribou Coffee every once in a while not only because I love coffee, but also because they have such fun little sayings on their cups! Carribou's motto is "Life is short. Stay awake for it." On the side of their cups they have asked people what they stay awake for and here were some of my favorite responses off my cup...

Dance parties with my kids- Walking 3 days to raise money to fight breast cancer- Belly dancing- Carrying the kids to bed when they fall asleep on the couch- Handlebar Mustaches- Meditation & Motorcycling- Driving with the top down- Rocking out during my morning commute- Thrift store treasure hunting- To read "one more" bedtime story to my kids- And last but not least...EARLY MORNING TAILGATING!

I enjoyed these so much that I decided to think of what I stay awake for, and this is what I came up with... 

The smell of coffee brewing as I get ready for my day- Talking to Tyler for "just 5 more minutes" on the phone each night- The weekends with the ones I love- Hearing my 2 month old nephew cooing in the background as I talk to my mom or sister on the phone- To make a difference in the lives of those around me, especially through the wonderful world of communication!- Husker Athletics
