Oh, and this is what I do when I'm icing my back. Guess that Public Relations Publications class isn't completely going to waste? Yeah, no - it might be. :)
Someone buy Adobe inDesign for me. It's only like $700, you know, totally reasonable. Not.

So I suck at blogging.

Updates:

Went to Florida for spring break and it was tons of fun. More amazingly, we all made it back in one piece.

 The rooms and I have had some good times with many many more to come in our last semester together. We have already planned some fun trips and will hopefully be kayaking the Illinois soon.

I can do stadiums again! Not that I have been much in this freakin' heat but I can do them with little to no pain.

 This happened to my foot about a week before the half.

But it wasn't my back so I sucked it up and ran anyway. My entire left leg seized up at about mile 9, when it conveniently started raining. I rationalized that there was no way I could possibly be more miserable, so I just kept running. This half had kind of been my mile marker after my surgery. I was pretty determined to show myself that I could still set goals for myself.

 I think I'm super crafty now. Sadly, I'm not a handyman because most of the things I make are just propped up against the wall or lying around my apartment. I have no clue how to hang them without tearing up the walls.

I've gotten to run at Lake Hefner a couple of mornings this summer.

 One time I met this guy after a run. Obviously, I didn't get to keep him but I did name him 'Hank'. I hope Hank is doing okay.

 I've lived in Oklahoma my entire life and just made it to the Memorial. My mom's side of the family and I went to check it out while they were up here for the 4th of July. As an Oklahoman, I feel like it's something that everyone should see. I'll definitely have a different perspective while running the marathon next year!

 I turned 22. I doubt I need to say much more about that. :)

 Oh, except that I still act like an 8-year-old.

 I grew a freaking plant! Like on my own. Well, ish. It's probably gonna die soon but we'll see.

 We ran the Color Me Rad 5k and I looked like a clown for a couple of days after, but whatever. It was super hot, super messy and pretty fun. It definitely made me want to do a Warrior Dash and/or Dirty 30 kind of run.

Brian Burke!

I'm pretty obsessed with Texas Country concerts right now. Okay, well I always have been but even more so now. I'm ready to get to Turnpike Troubadours at the Wormy Dog this Saturday!

Aaand I got my hair done the other day! Clearly, this is Kourtney Kardashian - not me. But this is the picture I brought in and it looks a lot like it. I've never gone darker but I really wanted a change so I went for it. Once I actually go out and take pictures, I'll put those up.

In summary, I'm doing great. :) About a week ago, I finally hit the realization that I may never be able to ride another roller coaster or bungee jump but, of course, there are still millions of things that I CAN do. And I'm ready to get out there and do them!

Have a good day y'all!
