Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Happy Happy Girl

Accent Vlog + a Photoshoot!

I was in the best mood this whole weekend. I love spring. I know I’ve been posting like crazy lately, but I just have so much to share! Since it’s Monday, I’m linking up with Katie for Marvelous in my Monday πŸ˜€

After church yesterday I made a breakfast of a greenish smoothie, toast with an egg, and toast with pb & banana.

Breakfast and lunch were eaten the exact same way haha! For lunch I heated up some of Grandma’s pea soup with avocado/salsa/feta toast and banana with more unpictured peanut butter.

Cousin Laura is training for a half marathon and had 12 on the schedule yesterday so I ran 5.88 with her! Yes, it is important to be exact with running distances. I would’ve done 6 but I had to pee really bad. It was warm enough to roll up my sleeves!!

I lounged… did some blog work… played some piano… played some guitar… then went to dinner at my aunt’s.

fish salad green beans potatoes

Love me some fresh walleye! I tried venison (back left blob) but it’s not my favorite.

Grandma brought dessert!

the missionaries

And then these guys came over haha. It was my first experience with missionaries. It was cool to hear their message!

Before bed mom and I did the facial masks. I like this comparison.

The left is from Saturday when I did the accent vlog! If you haven’t done it yet you really need to so I can hear what your voice sounds like πŸ™‚

Now it’s time for school.. I have two track meets supposed to happen this week but we’re supposed to get rain so I don’t know if they’ll be happening! Have a good Monday (if that’s possible.. πŸ˜‰

Have you ever tried venison?

What is your favorite home-cooked meal?

Have any missionary stories?!

    My best friend wants to be a missionary but I know barely anything about them! When I have an amazing weekend like you did I actually love Mondays! I end up just about skipping around school and time seems to fly by! Hope yours does the same. πŸ™‚

    I love when you post! I haven’t been posting lately, but I have just 2 more weeks of school, then I’ll be free for Summer and able to post way too much! I’m eating a green smoothie like that right now before crossfit, and it’s SO good yummm! Anyways, I hope you have a great Monday!

    We always get a lot of missionaries at our house just because of where we live and it’s always very interesting to hear their story. But we usually just send them away with a thank you. My favorite home cooked meal is grilled cheese! I love it so much!

    Great job on your run and I’m glad the weather is starting to warm up for you! And yum yum yum to all of your eats! I love the toast and egg combo and usually add on a piece of sliced deli ham on top of the bread before I put my egg on. It’s DELISH!

    Chloe is a beautiful cat btw! She reminds me of my first kitty, Nala, who I had when I was younger.

      If I liked ham that would be really good haha… but I bet it would be awesome with a slice of turkey!

      Chloe says thank you πŸ™‚ btw I still haven’t seen that picture of your Kiki!!

    Looks like an awesome weekend!! Gah I love split pea soup. I need to visit your grandma. πŸ˜‰
    My neighbor in Kansas actually used to hunt deer and give us some really fresh venison meat. I loved it!
    And once, two Jehovah’s Witness missionaries came to our house, but we’re still Catholics πŸ˜‰ It’s interesting to hear about others’ beliefs though!

      It was my first time having pea soup! I think it had bacon though… Bleh.
      My friend (Taylor – she’s been on the blog before!) eats BEAR! And she says it’s her favorite kind of meat!! Yucka!
      My priest said that one time 2 missionaries came to his house! I’d like to see that picture, haha!
