I haven't blogged in forever. Life is a ZOO.
I should change the name of my blog to that.
It would be appropriate.
Here's what I learned in July:
1) CAMPING. I am not the great outdoorswoman that I thought I was. On July 2nd, Dad called me at work (at about 4...I work til 4:30...the guy flies by the seat of his pants) and asked if I would bring the camper out to Lake Bronson with Gus and Jadyn for the weekend. I've never backed the camper up. Whatever. I agreed to do it anyway. It couldn't be that much different from a pig trailer, right?
Uhh wrong.
A kind neighbor from across the way finally had to line it up and back it in for me after about 10 long, embarrassing minutes of trying.
And he did it in 12 seconds.
Then, we could not figure out how to unhook the camper. Kalli-Gus-Jadyn 0, Camping Experience 2.
AND THEN, we couldn't get a fire started. Seriously people. I felt like a worthless city slicker. Dad was right, COLLEGE HAD MADE ME SOFT.
You kind of just hit a point where you take a seat in your reclining Cabela's chair and start drinking Busch Light. Which is what I did.
Can you say The Griswolds Go Camping?
I'm more of a tenter anyway. That's REAL camping.
2) HORSES. Obsessed with the idea of getting one right now. When I'm done with school, that is going to be my first major grown-up purchase. They're just pretty, I like animals, and I need another hobby.
3) Lately I have the urge to put a hot pink streak in my blonde hair. And to get my nose pierced. Don't know where this is coming from, but wouldn't those be great with my non-existent Harley I was dreaming up last month? That's what I'm thinking.
4) I love the fair more than Christmas, Disneyworld, and my birthday combined. This isn't something I learned this month, but it was definitely reconfirmed. And we had a Ferris wheel this year. What's a fair without a Ferris wheel? It was magical.
5) My favorite movies have not changed in the last 10 years. Here's what I watched this month: The Three Musketeers (Kiefer Sutherland...what a fox, I have a thing for blondes), Rooster Cogburn, 8 Seconds, Coal Miner's Daughter, and Tommy Boy. What can I say, I like consistency. And no, I have no idea why I want a horse all the sudden.
6) While we're on the topic of favorites, I listened to this, this, this, and this on repeat this month.
7) DIET COKE. I drank approximately two this month. I just don't care for pop anymore all that much. I'm taking this as an okay deal.
8) We celebrated Matt and Marcella's bachelor[ette]ness on the 26th, as well as Marcella's shower. It was a really fun, really long day. I think they both enjoyed it.

| It's not a bach party without the panty game! |
 |
| THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED! 12 more sleeps! |
It was mustache-themed.
I love facial hair.
9) July means bean canning season:
I love green beans.
10) These little ones came to live at our house! In the barn! Aren't you in love? I am. Durocs are my fave:
 |
| Yes, this is a snapchat from my dad that isn't a selfie. A rarity! |
- Stop whining so much. And worrying. Smile more. Be happier.
- Survive WEFest...(prayers requested).
- Have a fab time at Marcella's wedding!
- Move into my apartment (APARTMENT, people! As in - NOT MY PARENT'S HOUSE)
- Read at least 1 book before school starts. For fun.
12) Other than that...I am absolutely dying to move back to Crookston right now. You all know I think Kittson County is God's Country, but I flipping can't wait. I miss my friend Brooke and Muggs pizza like you wouldn't believe...

| FUN FACT she shares a birthday with Harry Potter. Also, that' is my true smile and how I'll be smiling from now on. |
