Like always it was … [Read more...] about Sugarloaf Mountain

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Balls #Oatober {giveaway!}

I love Bob's Red Mill. I love Peanut Butter & Company. When I found out that they were partnering together this month, I was jacked. As a member of the Yum Squad, I was challenged to come up with a recipe involving peanut butter and oatmeal to celebrate #Oatober! Energy balls are probably my … [Read more...] about Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Balls #Oatober {giveaway!}

Homecoming 2015

It's the busiest, most stressful and hectic week with no sleep, but it's also so much fun, the one to bond with your class, and the one you'll remember from high school. Homecoming. It was so much fun and I ? my class of 2017. Here are my pictures from the week! Sunday & … [Read more...] about Homecoming 2015

Grand Island Trail Half Marathon

I ran my third half marathon this summer! The Grand Island Trail Marathon was absolutely amazing and worth the high price tag ? It's a little crazy how I spent the night in Munising - one of my Instagram friends (hi Jane!!!) told me they go to a cabin in the U.P. every year and that she'd … [Read more...] about Grand Island Trail Half Marathon

Fayette and Kitch-iti-kipi

Near the bottom of the Garden Peninsula, on the shores of Big Bay de Noc, you'll find an old abandoned iron-smelting town called Fayette. People can visit and see the old buildings and get a feel for what life was like in the late 1800's. Mom and I took a day trip and I took some pictures to … [Read more...] about Fayette and Kitch-iti-kipi

Run the Keweenaw 25k

Have you ever had one of those races where you're just happy to be running in such a beautiful place and feel like you could run forever? This was mine.

The Keweenaw Peninsula

I started junior year today! It's crazy that I only have one "first day of school" left.. time's going by way too fast. I'd like to do a post on a regular day in the life with more details on my schedule (if I ever get my act together..) but for now let's keep going on updating summer … [Read more...] about The Keweenaw Peninsula

Women in Computer Science @ MTU

School starts in TWO days. I've still got so much to share from summer! This is where we left off after my last post. Back in July I spent a week at Michigan Tech for Women in Computer Science camp! Last summer I went to Women in Engineering and this was similar but with a focus on the … [Read more...] about Women in Computer Science @ MTU

Firecracker 5 Mile (34:59) & 4th of July

Is it acceptable to post about the 4th of July on September 2nd? Maybe I'll eventually catch up to real life on the blog ? anyways, here's my 4th of July recap! It was lots of running, marching, food, family, and fireworks. As usual I started the day with the 5 mile Firecracker run! I … [Read more...] about Firecracker 5 Mile (34:59) & 4th of July

Tricia and Mitch’s Wedding

I didn't mention it before we left, but last weekend my mom and I drove down to Canada to see Niagara Falls and Toronto! I'll post about that soon enough, but the 20+ hours spent in a car finally allowed me to sort & edit all the photos from the past two months. In other words: I might start … [Read more...] about Tricia and Mitch’s Wedding
