Well hey there.....

I know I have betrayed all 3.4 of my readers with my complete and total lack of blogging lately. But hey, I've been busy. It's hard too write when I'm not in school, constantly trying to procrastinate. Also, being witty and hilarious is slightly taxing.
There's too much to write a blog post about everything, so here's a condensed list.
"What I've done so far on my summer vacation"-pictures included
1. Slept. A lot.
2. Thanked baby Jesus at least twice that I no longer have to climb up and down a ladder every time I want to get in or out of bed.
3. Baked a lot of, well, baked goods. Cookies, cake, bread. Seriously I'm like the weird lady down the street who bakes for literally no good reason. This is also putting my parents at risk of developing diabetes. Maybe I should stop baking....
4. Riden/showed a lot. Basically an excuse to show off pictures of my boys. And yes, my horses are my boys.
Cooper

Langley

Riding has, so far, taken me to exotic places such as Mason City, Roscoe, Des Moines, and Long Lake. The destinations may not be that exciting, but what happens there certainly is.
5. Working out/running. Lakes, lake shore, neighborhoods. Yeah, I'll run around them. And in case you were wondering, shin splints suck. Working out at a gym has also given me a lot of material for another blog post. Stay tuned for that little piece of heaven.
6. Spent fourth of July in Lutsen. I sailed,

I ate at the happiest place on earth

And discovered some really creepy "art"

Small towns, such as Lutsen, are the greatest.
7. Read a lot of books. Mind you, not very intellectually stimulating books. Well, except for "Anna Karenina". That is some serious stuff. Russians do not mess around.
8. Ran into some people from high school. And avoided them at all costs. Weirdly enough, I saw one of these people in Lutsen. Rather awkward. More on this later.
9. Got a twitter. YES I KNOW I'M SORRY!! Just think of it as a mini blog. I'm not cheating on you I swear! But I only have 3 followers, so clearly it's not a big deal. Yet

Basically, it's been a pretty good summer. And it's not even over yet.

So tell all your friends that I'm still alive. And to the Russians: please stop trying to kill yourselves by jump off various things, it's scary.

Very much alive,
Leah
