A little about me...

So this is my blog...Carly obviously! Just got back home from a friends house after baking a cake for her little sister's birthday. She's a sweetheart! Friends are really important to me. Friends and family. I'm very family oriented. Mommy and Daddy are the two most important people to me (after God...the most important part of my life).

I have such amazing friends at my church and in my youth group. We started going to the church we are currently at about three years ago and now the people there are family. The youth there are so tight...we know we have each other's backs and that they have ours.

I love to sing. In school I sing in the choir. It has to be my favorite class. Not that I dislike core classes because I absolutely love to learn! It is fun to me (and no that does NOT! include homework or tests or quizzes...just learning new things). Also, at church I sing in the youth praise band. Contemporary Christian music (which encompases pretty much every genre of music in existence) is pretty much all I listen to! That and the Beatles or music soundtracks. I would pretty much die with out music and singing. It gives me such joy and no matter how awful or cruddy I feel singing a song to God will cheer me up no matter what...no matter what. It's my passion!!!

So besides singing I love to rock climb. Not big on sports. Don't get me wrong, I love to play them like with my daddy or with my friends... goofing off and having fun, but nothing serious or any organized team sports. However rock climbing is my thing. My Daddy got me started and taught me all I know about the sport. It's one of the many thins we can do together. Besides not having a lot of strength (which I'm working on along with becoming healthier...never been big on the veggies or exercising) I make up with my technique when I climb.

I also enjoy biking and doing gymnastics which I have been doing since third grade. I collect rocks, seashells, books, maps, and stuffed animals...I must have at least a hundred of those. I absolutely love reading, art, baking, and the ocean. The ocean is incredibly fascinating to me. I love tropical fish and any ocean animal. My family and I love going to the beach... traveling in general. Whenever we have a break, spring break, winter break, summer break, whatever it is we're going somewhere.

I guess I would call myself a "home body". I am totally content just staying home and hanging...just being. But being with my friends and family has to be one of my favorite things ever.
