Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Life is Good

06/04 by Leigha 15 Comments

Grilling and the Garden
I Got Bit by a Dog

I apologize for going missing so much lately. Life has just been SO GOOD. Like, I don’t want to sit on the computer when I could be going on bike rides, walks, having bonfires, working, going to the beach, grad parties, having picnics, playing music, hanging wit frands.

SUMMER IS HERE.

I have pictures and a few videos from life lately to post! All with bad iPhone quality πŸ™‚

I think this is a lot funnier than it probably is. lol

IMG_0024That just about covers life recently. I’m not sure how often posts will be coming this summer but I do have some that I just have to get written up. As for what’s on my agenda these next three months… SAN FRANCISCO in ten days!! My cousin’s wedding in a few weeks… Michigan Tech for a week after that… a 25k… another half marathon… maybe another trip… ENJOY summer because it sure is a beautiful thing.

β™₯ you’s all so much.

But really, add me on Snapchat bc I’m obsessed.

    GIRL. It looks like you are living it up, and I am so happy for you!!! My high school chorus sang The Lion Sleeps Tonight once as well. You sounded amazing in the duet!!
    I haven’t been on Snapchat very recently, but now I want to check it just to see your stories πŸ˜‰
    And as always, your food looks fantastic. I’ll take some of everything.

    San Francisco is so fun! I hope you enjoy yourself! We rode a tandem bike across the golden gate bridge, and it was windy and fun! πŸ™‚

    summer + friends + amazing food, WE NEED TO MEET ASAP. We kinda love all the same things. You seriously look like you are absolutely loving life. I can’t wait to hear about all the fun things you do this summer. On a serious note, if you ever make it down to Austin, Texas, I’ll be there and would love to take you around (and bring Ms. Alison from Daily Moves and Grooves πŸ™‚ )

    I’m SO behind on blog reading. I feel like I haven’t heard about your life in ages, lol. I love that you can eat lunch on the beach. If only Indiana had beaches…I’ve been dying to go back since I left California over 3 months ago…
