I celebrated my sixteenth birthday last Sunday! It couldn’t have been a better day – a run, good food, and family. Here are some pictures!
For my birthday dinner I requested Grandma’s famous lasagna!
And for my cake – the Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake. (So proud of Mom for making it!)
Unfortunately I ate a little too much lasagna and cake so I felt pretty sick the rest of the night. But the next morning everything was back to normal! This week I’ve had exams which somewhat explains my serious lack of blogging. GUYS. I miss writing posts! I really hope I’ll be more present in the near future! I just have to get through today’s exams then I can finally start working on some super fun posts I have planned.
Also, if you haven’t, I’d appreciate it SO much if you took my survey for my research paper in biology! You can click here to take it.
Happy belated 16th Birthday!!!
Thanks, girly!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!! 🙂 youre day looked great xx
Thanks Lucy! It was a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday Leigha!! Your day sounded perfect to me…a little exercise, family and amazing food. You made some good choices for your b-day dinner;) I still can’t believe you’re only 16! You’re so talented…in sports, writing, photography…seriously. Hope your exams go well!
Aww Faith, thank you SO much! I’ve been wanting to make a lasagna that tastes just like this, just without the meat and cheese! I’m thinking about trying TVP for them eat and some Daiya shreds for the mozzarella!
1. THAT LASAGNA
2. Your pancakes always look SO good!
3. Whenever I have lasagna and cake (AKA every birthday), I eat way too much, too
4. Have you ever thought of doing photography tutorials? your pictures are amazing!
5. Good luck with the rest of your exams, Leigha!
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
1. RIGHT?
2. #pancakesunday = best day of the week.
3. Once a year, right?
4. I’ve never thought of that, but that’s an awesome idea!! You should let me know more about the style of tutorial- editing, settings, staging, etc. I would love to do those!
5. Thanks girly! They’re finally over now!
Happy Birthday!! 16 is a good year 🙂 And all the goodies look like they were worth the stomach ache.
Haha! I guess it’s okay every once in awhile 😀 thanks Kelly!
I am so happy you had a good day. Judging by the pictures it was amazing! Love your photos. Happy 16!!!
Thanks, love! Of course it got dark so I had to crank up the ISO.. haha 🙂 I just hate taking pictures in unnatural light!
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY LEIGHA! I was on a secluded retreat in the woods on your birthday, so I didn’t have good enough wifi to comment on your blog. 16? That’s a great year. I know it’ll be one of the best ones yet for you 🙂
Thank you, beautiful!! Secluded retreat? That sounds awesomely interesting and I want to hear more. 😀
Happy birthday Leigha! It looks like it majorly rocked 🙂
Thanks Liz! 🙂
Happy Birthday! 16 is a big one!
Thanks Aurora! 😀
Seems like you had a wonderful birthday! That lasagna sounds amazing right now. givemeallthecarbs. hehehe
givemeallthecarbs all day every day 🙂
just a note about that survey .. you probably are aware of this already but there’s a lot of pitfalls using a self selected sample like online surveys (sample bias)
Thank you for your thoughts Angela! I just put this on my blog as a way to get more people to take the survey – I’m also handing it out to people at school in addition to members of my community. If you have more ideas I would love it if you sent me an email!
Happy (belated) sweet 16! Such a fun time in life!! I hope your exams went well. I love that your mom made you that gorgeous cake!!
Thank you, Allie! They went fine 🙂 and I know, she is the sweetest!!
Congrats on the birthday and thanks for sharing! I recently got a garmin watch, and I am really enjoying it…I think yours is nicer than mine though!
Aren’t they nice? Once you try one, it’s like your running is changed forever 🙂 thank you!
