Chocolates, Cookies, and Other Sweet Thangs
lol, I know that was a total random title. And has nothing to do with this post.
Nothing really new to report...Friday CLEAR went to Roba'. well, actually the Maddens, us, Josh, Mr.J, and Mr. M went haha. But it was still lots of fun!!
Saturday I went to the Madden's for a sleepover, along with DD for HOMECOMING!! Woot woot! We also watched the sound of music (at which point I fell asleep). Casey and me also made some amazing videos (casey if your reading this, my email isn't working so sorry if you wrote me. also, you should definitely send me the videos when it does work so I can post them on here! :)
Today was Mrs. Shaw's funeral. I wasn't able to go to the funeral, which was slightly disappointing, but I was able to help get the dinner and building ready for the dinner. A friend of ours came over in the morning to help luke lift some stuff as well, which was nice.
I'm going to officially start working on my costume tomorrow. Got all my materials :)

p.s. My friend thinks Prom is over rated.

Praise
We have recently been reading a chapter of a book called "The Cross and the Switchblade". It is sooo amazing, Praise God!! Tonight's reading especially had a huge impact on me. I just want to go out in the world to tell everyone about God's Love!! Can't wait for college :D I would recommend it to everyone.
Tomorrow, we're going to Sals and then to a dress rehearsal of The Sound of Music for $1!! lol soo cheap. I've also decided that my husband and I are going to Verona (the city of Romeo and Juliet) for our honeymoon. It is such an amazing place for a honeymoon!! Wow, that sounds ridiculous, but I was just sooo excited!! My friends think it's weird that I have a few wedding plans like this, but what the hey?! haha.
All for now, love Carly

Don't You Hate it When You Can't Think of a Good Title??
I know I do.
Anyways, Clear was yesterday. It was ok. Actually the highlight was when we could talk during the Bible study time. Mr. Johnson wasn't there because of a viewing, so my dad and Mr. M did it. It was really cool! We talked about the tongue and the evils of it. Gossiping, slander, criticism, and sarcasm to name a few. I thought it was neat that we had time to talk and discuss rather than just listen the whole time.
Mom has another doctor's appointment today. Two actually, plus some bloodwork.
Rambling on here...
There are really a few kinds of people here on blogger. 1)people who started a cooking blog b/c of Julie Powell. Lame! 2)People who have a blog all about their dog, kids, family, or boyfriend. 3)People who want to keep a kind of journal, but can do it in a creative way 4)People who "ramble" any others??
Did you know you can write comments anonymously even if you don't have blogger? just found that out haha.
Andrew: If your reading this...STOP LAUGHING!! :D

Happy happy day.
So on Saturday after working at the Russells in the AM, dad em and I went to Hillside. Hillside is a farm where people from the city go and pet animals, and get "educated". lol. We own some cows there, and sell them hay. My friends Sam, Matt, and I went for a walk to see some of my cows cause it was such a beautiful day!! Afterwords, I showed some of my dinner party pics and menus to Amy (someone who is in charge of the animals with her husband) and she said Hillside might be interested in doing some dinner parties!! Also, they asked me to do some baked goods during the school year some, and mostly in the summer. YAY!! I'm really excited because now I won't have to go to work somewhere like McDonalds (yuck) or something like that.
Also, some hilarious stories about my cousins. My one cousin Kaden (who's 2 1/2), calls everything he doesn't know the name of "stuffbum". It's soo funny. So anyways, one day my aunt was in the other room, and she hears him saying "I not seeing stuffbum, I not touching stuffbum, I not getting stuffbum". She goes to investigate, and turns out he is getting a can of whipped cream and eating it...rofl!
No other news really. Still on the lookout for a dress for Halloween. A long poofy black dress in my size...impossible!! Oh, and an awesome day on Sunday where I hung out with the Maddens, Jimmy, and Mark playing soccer, and watching movies. So fun.
buh bye~Carly

Finally! An update on my vacation!!
TUESDAY 9/28
Woke up leisurely at 9:30, then went to breakfast and had 1/2 waffle and 2 sausage links. We hung out at the hotel until 11 when dad picked us up to go to the World Dairy Expo! It was so cool! We looked around for a bit, then sat down to watch the Red and White Holstein show.
The arena was kind of like a basketball stadium only the arena replaced the court. outside (where the hot dog and popcorn vendors are) thwere were vendors, only cow vendors. There's some for calf pins, medicine, special beds for cows, and FREE SAMPLES. Then, in the parking lot were vendors for food, machinery, equipment, and even a cool robot barn cleaner.
The heifer that got junior champion (the champion of the young cows) was owned by a guy I bought a calf from! He is really into showing cows. It's really neat to be sitting watching the show, and hearing people talk in all different languages around you! French, Italian, Spanish, etc...
After the show, we went back to the hotel to swim and hang out. Then we went to Culver's! It's kind of like a McDonald's, KFC, and Perkins wrapped into one. I had a bacon burger and fries. It was seriously the BEST fast-food burger I have ever had. Besides burgers, there's salads, friend chicken dinners, and frozen custards! There was also these kind of McFlurry things only with 20 different kinds of treats to mix. Later, my mom and I went back to get Frozen Custard. Butterfinger Pecan (me), and Blueberry Cheesecake (mom). Delish! Apparently, they're really popular in the central part of the US.
WEDNESDAY
Probably my favorite day of the week. First, we woke up at 9, and went to breakfast where I got a cheese omelet (surprisingly good), a doughnut (awesome), toast and sasuage links. Not the most nutritious breakfast but heck! it's vacation!! After breakfast, we got ready and went down to Clasen's European Bakery (next to Culver's). There was lots of chocolate where they had 3 containers of chocolate, vanilla, and assorted mint candies of FREE SAMPLES! There was also FREE coffe, and other assorted FREE SAMPLES! Raspberry croissants (huge slices, mind you), fudge, chocolate covered cherry cake, and apple tart slices. ALL FREE!! Tons of assorted breads, homeade chocolates, tarts, cakes, sweey bars, buns, etc!
Next, we went to Carr Valley cheese. Not only is this shop the most-awarded cheese shop in the WORLD, but they also offer FREE SAMPLES! What is with Wisconsin and free samples?!?! So, we a two milk cheese of Casabolo (goat and cow) and three milk cheese of "Bessy's Best" that was award winning. I didn't expect they were going to so Awesome! So delicious!
After this, we went to a free zoo that was pretty cool. The usual, lions, tigers, goats, giraffes, rinos, etc. The cool part was I got to try my very first corn dog! Emma enjoyed the zoo alot, so that was good.
Then we went to these gardens that were really pretty. There was also fountains, towers, plants, flowers and neat little paths. That was cool, mom LOVED it!
Finally, we went to Daisy's Cupcakery and Cafe. It was fantastic! It was such a cute vintage-like place. They bought all the furniture from garage sales, so it was all mis-matching but still the same shade of color. We got a caramel cappuccino, mocha chocolate, and chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate (my fave) cupcakes. I could talk about this place all day, but I'm going to go help mom with dinner now.
till we meet again...Carly
p.s. The cafe inspired me! I'm going to open a business called Carly's Cupcakes, Catering, and Cooking Classes! or C5 for short. It's just what I want to do!! After I'm done with college and getting my teaching degree. The cupcake shop could be on one side, and the cooking classes on the other. For the cupcakes, Maybe I would do a "make your own cupcake" thing with a list of cakes, toppings, and icings. Hmmm...
I don't know, maybe that sounds a little wierd. What do you think?
Oh, and a special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my bud Ava, who's turning 3 today! :D

I thank God for my good time on vacation, my family, and Mr. Shaw's acceptance of the Lord (a man who's wife in our church was diagnosed with cancer and has only 3 months to live)
