Long time, no blog! Well thats no problem, I'll make up for it with tons of pictures... :-) Last month my family and I went to Wisconsin for a week to go to my aunt Ambers wedding, and visit relatives. We got to take the train to Chicago for the day (Brandon, Austin and I), visit Madison, go to my Grandparents 50th Anniversary party, etc... I love going there because it's like a second home to me and its beautiful!! As you can imagine, Brandon looooved the cheese :-)
