OK
Fourth of July was AMAZING.
I went up to Madeline Island on Lake Superior on Thursday evening with Ben and his parents.
Needless to say
it was the best fireworks display I have ever seen.
I got the best tan ever
and only one tick.
And some great photos.

Also, Ben and I had our 1 year anniversary on July 1st and it was great!
We went to Kincaid's, which was the fanciest restaurant I have ever been to.
It was great. I got him cologne and he got me a bottle of my perfume Escada
and this amazing bottle of wine with one illustration of a tryptic.

This is us on our 1 year.

He gave me the one with the dog shooting the arrow.
I proudly display it on the hutch in the dining room now.

So that's about it.
Time to run errands and then literally go for a run.

Love,

Mary

So I have a new profile picture.
I think it's the first new one in about three years.
That's kind of crazy.

So I've been thinking a lot about the reason why I have so much STUFF.
Like random things like old toys, picture frames, lamps, boxes, books, etc.
And I finally came to the conclusion that I have all of that stuff
because I want to pass it onto my family in the future.
I have toys so that my kids will be able to play with them.
And then I realized... That's a little weird.
I'm only 20. Why start so early?

I must be some sort of weirdo.

ALSO,
Guess where I'm going to be working...

Bath & Body Works

I think it'll be fun.
Because I know food.
I know clothing.
I know plants.
Now I get to know about lotion and soap.

Love,

Mary

Now, I have some new pictures from the cabin, with Ben, David and I.

ALSO, I keep thinking about this and can't seem to get my mind off of it.
One of my new favorite scenes from a movie is from The Silence of the Lambs
right after Hannibal Lecter kills the two security guards from inside his new cell.
It's a shot looking down at him, his face is covered in blood,
and he's waving his hand dreamily to some very light classical music playing on his radio with his eyes closed,
lost in thought.
I keep thinking about that scene for some reason, and it's so freaking awesome!
Visual!

Okay that is all. I'm also running my first 5K ever sometime in July!

It's been a while!
And in the meantime, my computer crashed and I lost everything.
Lucky for me, my warranty covered the repairs.
So I got it completely fixed (which is awesome because I am operating on the newest system available. I got a new keyboard, and luckily I had everything backed up. It just takes some getting used to.

Now I'm feeling a bit queasy after eating a mustard sandwich (because I have absolutely no food in my posession)
BUT.
Last night I met the president of my favorite cigar brand Tim Ozgener of CAO cigars. He came to the Golden Leaf in St. Paul to give a talk about CAO's newest cigar the LX2.
I was the ONLY FEMALE PARTAKING IN SMOKING THERE.
But it was cool, we got a free book on cigars with a great forward by Tim Ozgener himself and we got a tasting sampler for the LX2, which was comprised of the LX2 itself, and three small cigars that made up each single component of the three different tobaccos used in the LX2, the wrapper, and the two married fillers.
I learned a lot, and got to smoke some great cigars too!

I also recently went up to my cabin, where the weather was fantastic, the ticks and mosquitoes were bad, and the company was irreplaceable. Ben came up for the first time and it was amazing. We both got swimmer's itch though. That sucked.

My sister Abbe and her husband Micah came up too followed by my Mum and little brother David.
Abbe and Micah brought their pug Gus along.
Only Ben can tame him.

Love

HOLY CRAP.
It's been a while. 
And I've been busy running and doing odd little jobs around the house. 



I swim a lot at Calhoun too.  Like everyday.
This weekend I get to babysit Corgis! Yay!
But I miss Ben because he is off at his internship. 
Blaah

Love,
Mary
