Wisconsin: They Put Blankets on Their Cows In the Winter!!

This post is for all the people that repeatedly ask me about my odd fascination/love for the state of Wisconsin. 

This is how it all began:

It was a cold spring day in May of 2005. Noelle and her father were at Great America when it started to rain. They didn't want to stay at the park because they were freezing so they got in the car and randomly decided to go to Wisconsin because that's where Noelle's Father was originally from. The first place they stopped at was a small outlet mall where they had a chef's shop and Gap. There wasn't much there but it was a nice friendly place.

 Before they knew it, it was 7 o'clock and they were feeling rather hungry. They left the mall and went deeper into Wisconsin where there was a bucnh of little restaurants and stores, but the biggest store of them all was a HUGE grocery store called, Woodmans. Out of plain curiousity they walked into the bakery entrance of the store and there was something about the place that reminded Noelle of her childhood. It was the most bizarre feeling but she loved it. She loved that store. There was a bunch of strange food like Bunny Pasta. (Not really made of bunnies, it just a cute bunny on the front.) The best part though, was there was a scrapbooking section! And they had windmill cookies. Just like the ones her father gave her when she was young child. She was sad to go. For the next two weeks it was all she could talk about. (Well, not really but you get the idea.) 


....anyway that was the portion of the story where I talk about myself in third person...hahahaha. 

That was only the begining . After that we kept going because we liked it there and my dad had research to do in his old hometown. I fell in love with that place too. The lake. The big library. The pretty houses. The little town life. I just loved it. 

 When you think Wisconsin you think cows and cheese but I think deeper than that. I dont know why really. It's the little things about it, I guess. I have some sort of odd connection with the place. I can't really exsplain it deeper than that. I know it doesn't make sense to you guys at all.  Sorry. 

well I am offically back if you guys havent noticed. Heres how the past few days have gone:

monday- I flew back. we had to switch flights in atlanta. that was a two hour wait. finally we came back home but we had to visit my grandpa first. Hes all alone in a humongous house. I wish I could live there with him. It was horrible seeing him so sad. when I finally got in my house my cats all hissed at me and hated me because I left them for three weeks. I called Jenny and talked to her for awhile. She was going to pick me up later. Than I called adair cause she left an insane message on my ansewering machine. Jen picked me up at 11 and we ate food because I had no dinner. Uh..then we went to her house and went online and looked at people myspaces and stuff. Than we started A Walk To Remember but I fell asleep within the first 10 minutes.

tuesday- woke up at 9. Jenny woke up at 11. We decided to go to Olive Garden and get the soup salad breadsticks special. Then the mall where we met some crazy man. That was great. Uh then we went to the Elishas and I saw Lexi, Tasha, Randy, and DJ  They didnt even say hi to me. Thats nice. Shows how much they missed me huh? I'm touched. Dj got mad at Jenny because she was supposed to hang out with him two hours ago. That made me mad because 1.) She hasnt seen me in 3 and a half weeks and 2.) He does that all the time and she lets it go! That made me mad. And it also made me realize why I dont want to get into an immature relationship.

After Julies we stopped at christys to say hi. I missed that woman. When I can drive I am so living there. Shes the best.

After that I rushed to church because I was a half hour late for band practice. I really dont see why I stay in that. I have no confidence whatsoever. I am shy when it comes to singing. Especially when Marty looks at me the whole time I'm singing. 

Anyway Mikes back and thats good. I missed him and Marty. He basicly based his whole sermon thing on the two guys that are going off to college.

After church we had food and stuff so I tried to eat a cookie but I couldnt keep anything down. It was not a fun night for me. 

I went home for about two secounds to pack for adairs. I was really out of it. I wore two different flip flops and brought two night shirts and no pants. So yeah that was fun. We talked and made fun of high school musical . I t was kinda a somber night for some reason. 
And now here I am. Not going to wisconsin tonight. I had a really gross sandwhich from mcdonalds. they are so sick I had practicly half a thing of mayonaise on my chicken. It was sick but I just wiped it off and ate it anyway because before that I hadnt eaten anything since Olive Garden at noon yesterday. 

Tommorow I may go to Christys. Friday Aunt Mare is picking me up. We're scrapbooking. Blah. 

Tonight its gonna be good to be back in my own wonderful comfy bed. I feel really unsettled right now. 

A verse thats been on my mind lately: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called  according to his purpose. Romans: 8:28
