My Bad!

I have to say I have been awful about keeping up with my blog - my bad! Summer has been crazy so far and I don't have a ton of time. Today is my last real day off and so I figured I would treat myself to a blogpost or two. Life is going good in general. I am working ALOT and trying to squeeze in some fun, here and there. I feel like summer is halfway over already and I haven't done any of the things I wanted to do yet! Some of the things I am working on  right now / want to work on are :

1. Working with my llama.

I have had llamas since I was in middle school. I wanted a horse and my mom came home with a llama, I'm not really sure how that worked out, but it did. Right now we have three. My baby, Frankie, is an brat to put it nicely. He has had bad experiences with halters in the past so he doesn't have one right now and hates me touching it nose. So, I am working on overcoming my fear of him and getting a halter on him. Today i was able to kneel in the field and pet him and put a lead rope around his neck, which is a HUGE improvement. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can get a halter on him.

2. Learn to swim butterfly

This summer I really, really want to learn how to swim butterfly correctly and become decent at it. I have to teach it for swimming lessons and I always hate it, because I don't feel comfortable demonstrating it to my students. But, I am going to work on it and my goal is to be able to swim a 50 butterfly by the end of the summer!

3. Scrapbook

When I was in middle school, I was really good about scrapbooking and documenting all of my activities. I have fallen off the bandwagon, but I am trying to get back on. I have so many photos from highschool and my freshman year and I would love to put them all in a scrapbook.

4. Read

I love to read! Since I have been home I have read a couple of my old books and it has been great. Laying outside on the tramp with a book or curling up on the couch with a book is one of my favorite activities. I need to go book shopping and stock up!

Those are just some of the things I want to work on this summer. Some things I'm looking forward too are my best friends summer pool party which is TODAY!! yay. I am hoping Mr. Sun decides to come out and play or else I am not getting in the water.. at least by choice.

I am also looking forward to the Eric Church concert I am going too next week. I love country music and he is one of my favorite artists so I was/ am SO excited that the tickets are only $20 and it is in Portland. It will be so much fun! I am also looking forward to the NBA finals game 7 which is TONIGHT as well. GO LAKERS. It is going to be an awesome game. The finals has been so much fun this year, because my mom has actually watched some of the games with me and I have been able to discuss them with her.  I am also looking forward to the 4th of July because it is rodeo time and I get to have a vacation at the best place in the world - the lakehouse!!
