Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

MIMM – Summer Livin’

WIAW - Are You Cereal?
WIAW - Getting better

Hi friends! I wasn’t planning on writing anything today but I realized that I could throw together some marvelousย life happenings. ๐Ÿ˜€

Marvelous is…ย going to the zoo! The other day I went with my cousins, and while it was hot, we had a blast!

Marvelous is… my new ring my dad bought me! Isn’t it pretty? We went to a family reunion over the weekend and we spent some good quality time together.

Marvelous is…ย my mom got a free iPad! SO jealous. It’s for work, buut I’m thinking a few apps won’t hurt. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Marvelous is…ย 2 new swimsuits! I wasย so in need of a new suit (or two!)

Marvelous is…ย my cousins from Idaho here for the month!

Marvelous is… Pinterest. It’s an addiction. The amount of time I spend on there doesn’t need to be discussed…

time spent

Marvelous is… running again! I took last week off from the road – I figured I could use it after the half,ย and my knee was bothering me. I think I definitely made the right decision – everyone could use a break once in awhile! But man, did it feel good to run today. ๐Ÿ˜€ Oh yeah – new shoes!! Mizuno Wave Rider 16.

Marvelous is…ย life. I just finished the book “First They Killed My Father” and it really makes you realize how good we have it. Our problems are nothing compared to what those children went through. I’d really recommend reading this.

Smile! You got through Monday!

Have a great week ๐Ÿ˜€
