My vacation to the Caribbean

2006-09-12T13:48:00.000-07:00

The last week in Aug. I took a much needed vaca with my friend and her parents along with others from Rhema. We went on a cruise to Progresso and Cozemel Mexico. It was awesome. We went during the 1 year anniversary of Katrina and hurricane Ernesto was heading our way but it turned and we were able to do everything planned. The boat was amazing. We saw shows, gambled some, swam in the pool, and ate a lot. Its all you can eat 24/7. In Progresso we did the whole fea market thing. It smelled really bad but it was cool seeing the different culture there. In Cozemel we did the beach thing. Think white sand, clear sparkling water, and no buildings. It was wonderful. I got some sun on that day. I can't wait to go on another one. It was so much fun. I was nervous about being out in sea but I did fine. I love being on the boat and not seeing anything but water. You really feel like you are away from it all. You don't even have a phone. Well, I have some pics but I wont get the rest up for a while. Anyway, it was fun but it's back to work. Later

2006-08-18T09:16:00.000-07:00

WOW! So I know it's been forever since I last blogged but this is what happened. Everyone at Rhema does the whole myspace thing and I actually hate myspace but of course I signed on because its a great way to keep in touch with everyone. But after 3 months everyone is starting to slow down on it so I have time to blog. For the most part everyone who reads my blog is in GJ so most of you already know what's up with me but here is a little rewind of the summer. I graduated from Rhema in May and left all my friends there and a great job. It was pretty hard but I knew that at that time I needed to come home. Starting June 1 I became a employee at my home church. I work in the Children's department and though I never pictured myself being the Children's Minister I love the children. The #1 thing I learned at Rhema is that in ministry you will most likely work every aspect of the job. My friend Niqi got married in June and had a beautiful wedding. I have been able to see my brother and his family 3 times this summer and I got to do a ride along with my brother on a grave yard shift. It was super sweet. I can't wait to do it again. So know Aug. is already half way over and as I'm writing this I just realized that today is my parents anniversary. I'll have to get a card sometime today. Anyway, in a week from today I am going on a cruise to the Caribbean. Heck Yes!!!!!! I'll be going with my best friend in Tulsa and her family and some others from Rhema. I can't wait. When I get back life at the church will go into overdrive with getting our Family Fun Day together along with getting everything together for our New Year's Eve dinner theater. So that's what my summer consisted of. For pics from the summer go to my flicker thing and see new pics. Well, blog ya later.

Dallas here I come...

2006-04-28T06:09:00.000-07:00

So tomorrow morning Kellie, Shay, and I are hitting the road and going to DALLAS, TX. I am so excited. We are going to the malls, and the Rainforest Cafe. It's going to be a blast. I get back Sunday night so expect a full report on Monday afternoon. You all have a great weekend. Love ya, rach

Also A special shout out to my favorite cousin Tim HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Eye of the tiger

2006-04-25T20:04:00.000-07:00

So Kellie got this song off of itunes and it's now become our song of the week. We got in Kellie's mom's convertible, put the top down, and turned up the volume. It was awesome. This song has to be one of the coolest songs ever. So I guess the only thing now is I should probably see the movie. Now don't stone me yet I will see it one of these days. Anyway, it's been a fun time hanging with the girls. Peace!

My yearly recipe

2006-04-24T21:02:00.000-07:00

So you all probably know but I can't cook ( its not a bad confession either). Its a FACT. But you know looking at all these other blogs everyone always has some new recipe. So I thought , "Hey! Why don't I share with the world my secret recipe of the best Italian dish this side of the pan handle." So here it is. You get the Walmart brand 50 cent CREAMY mac and cheese. Then you get BEEF frank hot dogs. Put about 5 to 6 cups of water in a pan. Bring it to a boil. Then cut 2 hot dogs into bite size chunks, put them in the water and then add the noodles. Wait 10min then take the pan off the stove. Drain the noodles and hot dogs. Then add butter, WHOLE milk, and the powder cheese packet. Turn until all blended and dinner is served. Wait and see what recipe I give you next year.

Have you been to the center of the universe?

2006-04-24T20:45:00.000-07:00

So on Sunday I went to the center of the universe. No joke. In downtown Tulsa there is this place and when you stand directly in the middle of the circle you can here your own echo. Now what's crazy is that even a few inches off and you don't here anything. You can here yourself but others right next to can't hear a thing. There is even this big old story about scientifically its been proven to be the center. There is also this big tower with a huge door knob looking thing and when you ring it its said that it calls to the aliens. So that was my crazy fun day on Sunday. Later

DEAR JESUS

2006-04-12T21:14:00.000-07:00

THOSE ARE THE WORDS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH FOR THE LAST 15MIN. I WAS JUST LEAVING SHAYLA'S HOUSE AND I OPENED THE DOOR AND SHE YELLED SPIDER! OF COURSE I TOOK THE DEFENSE AND JUMPED ON THE COUCH WITH THE DOOR WIDE OPEN. THEN I FELT SILLY. SO SHAY GETS DOWN ON THE GROUND AND IS LOOKING FOR IT BECAUSE IT WENT UNDER HER TV STAND. SHE MOVES THE TV STAND AND TOLD ME TO COME SEE IT. AS I PEER OVER ALL I SEE IT 3 LEGS OVER AN INCH LONG NO JOKE AND THEY ARE GRAYISH WHITE. SO I JUMPED BACK ONTO THE COUCH AND THEN SCOLDED MYSELF BECAUSE I THOUGHT I LET MY IMAGINATION GET AWAY WITH ME. SO SHAY GRABBED HER UMBRELLA AND I TOLD HER TO JUST GET A SHOE. THANK GOD SHE DIDN'T. SHE HIT THE SPIDER ONCE AND BROKE OFF A LEG (OVER AN INCH LONG) AND IT KEPT RUNNING THEN IT CAME INTO FULL VIEW AND I REALIZED THAT MY IMAGINATION HAD NOT BEEN IN USE AT ALL. THIS SPIDER WAS BIGGER THAN A HALF DOLLAR NO JOKE AND IT WAS GRAYISH WHITE. IT TOOK SHAY 4 MORE HITS UNTIL IT DIED. IT SERIOUSLY WAS THE BIGGEST SPIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A HOUSE OR SHOULD I SAY ANYWHERE EXCEPT A PET STORE. MOM IT WAS EVEN BIGGER THAN THE ONES WE SAW IN HAWAII. ITS BODY WAS HUGE TOO. SO HERE IS THE PICTURE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE TAKEN A PIC WITH IT STILL ALIVE BUT YOU KNOW MY HEAD WASN'T QUITE THERE. ITS BEEN 20MIN AND MY HEART IS STILL BEATING FAST. SO THE PIC IS THE SPIDER DEAD IN A NAPKIN AND THAT THING ON THE LEFT IS IT LEG. NO JOKE THE LEGS WHERE AN INCH LONG. THE CRAZY THING IS I'M NOT EXAGGERATING. SO NOW I AM GOING TO PRAY FOR DREAMS WITHOUT SPIDERS AND MAKE MYSELF NOT JUMP AT EVERY ITCH I HAVE. WELL, SO LONG.

Tornado!!!!!!!!!!

2006-04-07T10:03:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally had a tornado only 2 miles away from Old Navy. I was getting ready to leave and Kellie called me and told me to stay there because it was heading my way. Well, I didn't get to see it and it never did come directly there but it was still crazy. When I was younger I was terrified of tornadoes and it was so cool to see that I wasn't afraid at all. There was another girl at work who was scared and was crying and I thought that God is so faithful to me yet it was just another reminder that I have a job to do with my coworkers. So it was crazy but I definitely need to step it up with showing others the freedom that they can have in Christ. Side note but on Monday I have to do my sermon in class and I'm doing it on being free to serve. So I better start practicing what I'm going to be preaching. Well, I know it had been awhile but I will try to do better keeping up with these blogs. Love ya, Rachel

You can't beat this...

2006-03-02T20:29:00.000-08:00

Okay I'm obsessed. Pride and Prejudice is absolutely the best movie. It just came out and I've already watched it 3 times. There were some scenes that I watched over 10 times in a row. Mr. Darcy's facial expressions are so good. It's just wonderful. So you should definitely watch it. Unless I've already talked to you about waiting until I get home. I am so excited to come home. I need a vacation. By the way is it crazy that I only have 9 weeks of classes left and 11 weeks until I graduate and move home? This has gone so fast. Well, okay I'm, just rambling now. So good night. Talk to you later.

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

2006-02-17T20:30:00.000-08:00

I know 2 post in one day but guess what. I have finally experienced my 1st Oklahoma ICE STORM. I even had to drive through it going home from work. I don't know if you can really tell from the pic or not but this is how crazy this state is... two days ago it was 70 then yesterday in was in the 60's until around 5pm then it way got cold and today 20's with ice. Crazy. Don't worry mom it should let up before you fly in on Sunday.

GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN PART 2

2006-02-17T20:14:00.000-08:00

So I kind of forgot to put the post of Kellie's half birthday party. Two weeks ago was her half 21st birthday. Since we didn't get to celebrate it on her actual b-day we celebrated it this month. First, we kidnapped her from work (with her dad's permission of course). After that we took her to get a manicure and pedicure. It was also Shayla's first time getting a pedicure so we said that Shay lost her pedicure virginity. Fun stuff. Anyway, after that we did a little shopping, ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant and we had 2 waiters and one totally liked Kellie. Then we went back to her house and talked for 2 hours straight. It was a blast. It was a time of fun, food, and fellowship. We definitely need to do it again.

Bookaholic

2006-02-09T11:56:00.000-08:00

So my friends say I have a problem and I don't agree (actually I thinks its denial). So I read so much. As you can see I put up some new stuff on this site and one of them is a library thing. So I have recorded some (yes just some) of the books I've read over the past year. There are 43 listed and that's not even all of them. Not to mention the ones I've read twice or even three times. Yea, it's bad. There are some good points about reading though. First, I don't watch that much TV at all anymore. Second, all the books I read are by Christian authors. Third, they are all set in the past and their is a lot of history in them. For example The Civil War, the mills where girls worked with the looms, going west before the railroad was put in, and the gold rush in California and Alaska. Fourth, it makes it easier to read my school books and the Bible because I'm so used to reading all the time. Fifth, There is always something for me to do cause I can always read. Sixth, I now know my way around the library (if you knew me in Jr. High and High School that's a major improvement). So have I persuaded you yet? Now I'm not saying its easy not to become addicted to these books and you stop doing the necessary but I have learned to use my time wisely and I am now a more disciplined person. Anyway, I just finished my favorite book, PROMISE ME TOMORROW by Lori Wick and now it's time for me to read some of my school books. So that's that. Have a wonderful day. Rach

Girls Just Want to Have Fun...

2006-02-02T14:02:00.000-08:00

Now don't jump to conclusions. Those bottles are of root beer and cream soda. So the girls and I decided to have some fun so we got strawberries, bananas, and CHOCOLATE. Along with the drinks. It was so good although we were feeling it the next day. Anyway, we had a girls night with all that the the movie 13 going on 30. Can you have a better girls night? I think not. We also finished our wedding scrapbook. It was definity a lot of fun. Tomorrow is Kellie's half birthday and we are celebrating it. We aren't doing it on her real b-day because it's summer and we aren't here. So check it out cause I'm going to have a lot to say. Talk to you later....

2006-01-26T10:14:00.000-08:00

So for one of my assignments at school I had to work in the nursery and elementary aged kids at church. Now I have worked with kids in church ever since I was out of children's church myself. Let me tell you though it's so much more different in a church of 5000 then 250. Last, Wed. I worked in the 1 year old room. Just one year old no other ages. We had almost 20 kids. Now you can imagine what that's like. At least the service was an hour that's it. Of course I got the kid who would scream if you put him down so I held him for 45 min. straight. My arm is still sore. But it's cool to see the kids do their bible story and see them hug the pictures of Pastor and Mrs. Hagin. Then tonight I worked with the 3rd and 4th grade. They are the loudest bunch of kids ever!!! But again it was cool to see them lay hands on the kids who didn't feel good and pray for them to be healed. At one point I was talking to a boy about what kind of car he wanted and a little girl named Grace said she wanted a mustang. I told her that I wanted one too that had a convertible top. She said no I want a mustang horse. I said that she was definitely from Oklahoma and she said that she wasn't from Oklahoma but from Texas. Figures huh. Anyway, I had a blast even though there were times of kaos. It made me miss my kids back at the church. So in honor of them I put this pic of when I taught them last summer. Well, have a great day. Rach

Howdy!

2006-01-13T20:18:00.000-08:00

So another week is coming to an end and I have to say that is was again a wonderful week. There were a few little things but overall it was great. At school this week I had to preach in front of my class and I did pretty good. I got a 25 out of 25 right on my presentation. Next week is finals and then we get new classes. I am really excited to see what classes I have. So in four months and and 6 days I graduate from here and life really begins. God's really been showing me that it's important to pray out the plan God has for you and believe me I have. It's been fun too hanging with my friends. I'm keeping busy and enjoying life to the full. Well, I guess that's about it for me tonight. So I hope everything is going good for all of you and know that I love you all. Rach

Floral or Palm Trees?

2006-01-10T20:14:00.000-08:00

So I have a few extra picture frames and I decided to put them in my bathroom. So I can't decide if I should do pics of flowers or of palm trees. My towels could go with either. So let me know. Love you all lots! Rach

A Great First Week To A Brand New Year

2006-01-07T20:42:00.000-08:00

So how was your first week in the new year? Mine was awesome. I mean I made it awesome. Last year I got into this rut of not wanting to do school or work. I really didn't want to do anything and it made the days really blah. So I did some praying and I realized that I needed to make some changes on my outlook on life. So I did and this year has been great. Now I know there will be days where I don't feel like things are going good and that's when the real test comes, but I am going to do my best. I realized that it's your outlook on the year that makes it good. Circumstances are always going to arise but it's how you chose to handle them that makes it a great learning experience or a horrible time in your life. So I hope this encourages you to make this year the best year of your life because it really is up to you. Love ya, Rach

A Year Of Memories...

2006-01-02T16:58:00.000-08:00

Wow! 2005 is over. It was a great year. Some of the highlights for me was finishing my 1st year at Rhema, my friend Rachel Nardi (now Ammon) getting married, my friend Jessica getting married, my friend Nikki getting engaged, finding out my sister is going to have another baby, my friend Domenica having her 3rd child, moving into my own apartment, being on the basketball team at Rhema, quitting the basketball team, getting a job at Rhema, going home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and turning 20. A lot happened and I am so thankful that my family and friends shared in so much of it. Now it's a new year, with even more changes than last year. Like me graduating from Rhema, moving back home, my nephew will be born, and my friend getting married, and The Little Mermaid coming out on DVD in Oct. I know it's going to be a wonderful year. So with that I hope you have a wonderful year too. Love ya, Rach

Okay so my brilliant sister,Jill, helped me get some new stuff on here. I now have links to my family and friends so feel free to check them out. Also, I now have flicker which is a photo thing. So now all my photos will be on the there for your entertainment. Since I am not at my computer I don't have pics on there yet but when I go back on the 1st give me a day or two and I'll put a ton on there. Okay that's about it. Blog you later. Rach

HELLO EVERYONE !

2005-12-27T20:22:00.000-08:00

Okay. Just so you know this is going to be long. The day after my birthday my internet stopped working, then I moved and I cancelled my internet, then I came home, then I couldn't remember my account name on this so I couldn't get on to change anything, then Christmas came, and now I finally have time to tell you all what is up with me now. We will start with Dec. 2 (my birthday). After my blog I started feeling sick. So the night of my 20th birthday I ended up staying home alone watching about 8 episodes of SMALLVILLE. Kellie and her mom did bring me some soup and sprite and cookies. So that day and the next I spent at home. Then on the 4th my friends took me to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday and then we took a night out on the town and looked at all the Christmas lights. Okay, on the 6th my school had its Christmas Banquet and it was fun except for the fact that the day before my boss at Rhema and the photographer there both asked me to work during the banquet. And I didn't mind doing it except this is how they both asked me, " Do you have a date for the banquet?" "No." " Good can you work for me?" Not the most delicate way to ask me but oh well. So I helped the photographer at the beginning and then I served the pastoral table up in front of the entire student body. So again, I can't complain. I even got to talk to Mrs. Hagin Sr. That was cool. Of course all I said was, " Can I get you anything else to drink?" But hey I bet that's more than any of you. Okay so then on the 9th Shayla and I moved almost all of my furniture over to my new apartment. Then we saw The Chronicles of Narnia. Which is by far one of the best movies ever made. Then the next week I finished moving the rest of my stuff along with working both jobs and finished on the 15th then turned in my keys and on the 16th I flew back to good old Grand Junction. After that I spent the first week back shopping, and stuff. Then Christmas came. It was a really good Christmas. Then the next day my brother and his family came to town and we had Christmas 2 days in a row. So now the holiday is over and tomorrow my brother leaves. In a few days I will be leaving too. I love it here in CO, but I love Rhema. Well, with only 4 1/2 months left I sure it will go fast. Right now it doesn't seem like it but I'm sure in a year from now I will be thinking were did the last 2 years of my life go. Anyway, I told you this would be long. And don't worry I will have pics of all the things I told you about on here next week. Well, have a wonderful New Years. Love you all. Rach

Today is my birthday...

2005-12-02T12:15:00.000-08:00

SO TODAY I AM OFFICIALLY NOT A TEENAGER ANY MORE. AS OF ABOUT 5AM THIS MORNING I TURNED 20. I LEARNED WHEN I TURNED 16 THAT YOU DON'T FEEL ANY OLDER OR THAT YOU ARE EVEN AN "ADULT". IT'S FUNNY I STILL DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE I AM REALLY ON MY OWN AND LIVING ALMOST 1000 MILES AWAY FOR ALL MY FAMILY. THEN THERE IS THE OTHER PART THAT FEELS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TIME I CAN ACTUALLY BE CONSIDERED AN ADULT NOW. ONE THING THAT'S CHANGING IS I AM MOVING TO A NEW APARTMENT. I WILL NOW BE LIVING 2 DOORS DOWN WITH A GIRL NAMED SARAH WHO IS ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM. HER ROOMMATE LEFT LAST MONTH ALSO. IT WILL BE GOOD. SO SINCE I AM COMING HOME IN 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY I HAVE 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY TO MOVE. ALONG WITH WORK AND ALL. SO AS USUAL I AM GOING TO BE UNBELIEVABLY BUSY. BUT THE HOLIDAY'S ARE SOON TO BE HERE AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SO MUCH. LOVE YOU ALL AND SEE YOU SOON.

The best story of all time...

2005-11-18T11:41:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness. Okay, I saw the best movie EVER. The new Pride and Prejudice came out and I have to say it was AWESOME. I have been obsessed with Jane Austin (the writer of Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and many others) for a while now. I did a report on her in high school. I own the movie Sense and Sensibilty, and the five hour long verison of Pride and Prjudice, along with the book Emma, Pride and Prjudice, and Sense and Sensibilty. They are absolutely wonderful. I love the stories and the characters. Well, I went to see this movie with some hesitancy because it is only 2 hours and I didn't know how they would put it all in. Well, they didn't but the kept the most important and left out the details and characters that didn't hinge on the plot. Now if you are a fan of the 5 hour long one you have to be open to some change. I am actually glad they didn't try to copy the old one. It is a different version with characters that have different aspects to them. Anyway, it was fabulous and I am going to see it again in theaters and I will be buying it. I leave you now with one of my favorite quotes from the book. It's right after Mr. Darcy proposes to Elisabeth and this is her reply..."From the very begining, from the first moment, I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest beliefs or your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the felling of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.:" Now that's a refusal there.

HOWDY !

2005-11-17T10:24:00.000-08:00

OH MY. I CRACKED. I FINALLY BOUGHT A COUNTRY CD. I KNOW I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT INTO ME. I HAVE SWORN TO NEVER EVER LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC.

EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR IT. SO THAT'S MY STORY I LOVE THIS SONG. ANYWAY, I HOPE THE PICTURE IS OKAY I HAD A HARD TIME FINDING A GOOD ONE. LOVE YA, RACH

R E S P E C T --- GIRLS NIGHT OUT

2005-11-06T21:38:00.000-08:00

So tonight Kellie, Shay, and I had the funnest (I know that's not a word) time this month. We drove in Kellie's mom, Cheryl (thank you if you read this), mustangs. We saw a few mansions (like huge, gorgeous, heaven type mansions), drove downtown, listened to Christmas song by Alvin and the Chipmunks, and got the Rhema security officer to bust a move to RESPECT. All in all it was a fun night. These pics are of us with wind blown hair, rosy cheeks, and a horse that was in front of a restaurant. So that about wraps it up. Here is a quick hi from Shay to all her family who read this. Shay and I say love ya all and good night because its almost morning here. Yea, we definitely are going to stay awake tomorrow in class.

ALOHA

2005-11-05T21:34:00.000-08:00

Okay so now it's hot again. Well, maybe not hot but it has been in the 80's the last two days and in the 70's from Sun on. I tell you what this place is crazy. But I'm not complaining. Because it got warm again the leaves on the trees have had time to change color. I am very excited about that. Usually it get so cold so fast that they just fall off before they have time to change. Enough about the weather. I am doing good. My roommate, Debbie, has decided to move back to Pittsburgh. She will be leaving on Nov. 19. So that means I have to find either another roommate or get some money to pay full rent here soon. So if you'll be in agreement with me that it will all work out soon. At least it's good to know that God is faithful and my Provider. Last, I have to tell you that my job at Rhema requires me to personally see to the Hagin family and the whole pastoral staff tomorrow at the membership luncheon and I am a little nervous because my boss is out of town and I am doing it without having seen how its done before. So let's pray I don't spill Mrs. Hagins drink on her. Can you imagine? Anyway, I just got done with a 10 hour day at work and I think it's time for bed. Ya'll have a wonderful day. Love ya, Rach P.S. The pic of me is from my senior trip in 04. I haven't been to the beach anytime lately.

More PICS!!!

2005-11-03T11:17:00.000-08:00

DECK THE HALLS

2005-11-02T21:37:00.000-08:00

The count down is on. Now that November is here the holidays have arrived. Since I am so excited to go home for Christmas I am so in the Christmas spirit. I have begun to listen to Christmas music in my car and tonight me and the girls made Christmas stockings. It was a lot of fun. I've never been that good at crafts but I must say tonight I didn't do that bad. Anyway, it's fun to have my friends and all and to be able to do things like this. Well, I have to go to bed so have a wonderful day and I love you all. Rach

MORE PICS!!!

2005-10-31T13:17:00.000-08:00

ME AND MY CRAZY FRIENDS PART 2!

2005-10-30T21:09:00.000-08:00

So tonight my friends and I had a blast carving pumpkins. We started out by going to WalMart and picking out the pumpkins we were destined to be with. It actually took some time until we found our match. Then we went to Shay's house and dug in (literally). After getting our pumpkins saved (don't ask) and naming them we took them outside for their debut with the camera (they are very photogenic). My pumpkins name is Pedro, Shays is Jack (very original), and Kellie's is some French name that I can't spell. All in all it was a fun night. Next we are going to do Stockings. I am very excited for those. Anyway, that's what went down today. Love ya all.

WELL?

2005-10-28T17:46:00.000-07:00

So have you ever had one of those days? You know life throws one huge curve ball and totally puts a spin on your day. Well, lets just say that today was one of those days. A lot happened and I wont go into details but most people would call it an extremely bad day. A lot of emotions went haywire today. Then you get wonderful people who try and encourage you and you take it as them saying you don't have enough faith. Well, that happened on an extreme scale today. And I totally lost sight of the fact that God is still in control and He knew all this was going to happen and He will take care of everything. But thank God He finally got through to me and I am back on track. Thank God for His mercy and grace. So now everything is back in perspective and it's all going to turn out right. So that's my story today. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Love ya, Rach

Holy Toledo Batman It's COLD!!!!

2005-10-24T10:37:00.000-07:00

Hey ya'll. Oh my gosh it is cold today. It dropped down to 32 this morning. Now I'm not complaining because I have been wanting it to get cold for a while now. So I got my turtle neck sweater on with my big coat and my long johns under my pants. Yep I'm doing good. Today is a beautiful day. The sun is out and I don't have to work until 5:30. I feel like I actually have a day off. Okay so late last night my friends and I did the whole girls night and put on face masks and cucumbers on our eyes and all that fun stuff. Now I know you are probably wondering if I have pictures- yes but you are not privileged to view them. So other than that nothing new is going on. Well, I hope you all have as much fun today and I am having. Love ya guys. Talk to you soon.

What a day

2005-10-22T21:18:00.000-07:00

First I just have to say isn't my nephew, Hunter so cute! Of course he is a few years older now them this pic. Have you ever felt like your day is so busy it doesn't feel like it should already be over? It's 11:20 here and I just got home from work. I worked a total of 11 hours today and I feel like I accomplished nothing. Oh well. I got sunburned today on my face. By the way I hate ants. I had them in my kitchen this week and they were driving my crazy. Just so you know Tarzan came out on DVD this week. Sorry I know this has to be the most random blog you've ever read but I am tired and not thinking that straight. Not that you can think crookedly. Okay on that note I am going to go to bed have a wonderful day.

This is what's up...

2005-10-21T20:51:00.000-07:00

Okay so my wonderful sister, Jill informed me that I don't update my blog enough so I have decided to try and do it everyday (yea right). Really though I have just been real busy and not with a lot of new stuff to say. It's mostly just the same old stuff. Just to show you how busy I am here is what my week has consisted of. Sunday 10am church, 2pm - 6:30pm work at Old Navy, and 7pm church. Monday 8:30am - 11:30am school, and 4:30 - 9pm work at Gym. Tuesday 8:30 - 12pm school, 2-10pm work at Old Navy, Wednesday 8:30 - 11:30am school, 1:30 - 6pm work at Old Navy, and 7pm church. Thursday same as Tuesday. Friday 8:30 - 11:30 school, 12:30 - 2:00 work at Gym, 2:30 - 10:30 work at Old Navy. Saturday 8 - 3 work Gym, 5 - 11pm work Old Navy. So that's about 48 hours of work and 16 hours of school. Yea I'm pretty busy right now. Just so you all know though things couldn't be better. I love both of my jobs and school, and my friends and I still have enough time to live the college life (not that kind of college life). So that's what's up with me. I will try to do better at keeping you all posted. Until tomorrow Love ya!

Drum Roll Please...

2005-10-18T10:21:00.000-07:00

Well, here it is, the new me! I got my hair cut last Thursday with my parents in Branson. Besides the hair cut I got to spend 3 1/2 days with my parents. It was a blast. We went to Keith Moore's church there. Now though life is back to normal. I am so busy right now. I am working at least 40 hours a week plus school. But I am not complaining. School and work is so awesome right now. The only thing is I wish I had a little more time to sleep (don't we all). Today my sister-in-law finds out if they are having a boy or girl. I am so excited. Well, that's about all so I better go because I have work. Love you all. Have a great day.

Me and My CRAZY friends!

2005-10-10T10:14:00.000-07:00

So have you ever had one of those days where everything seems funny. So last night me and my friends Kellie and Shayla had a fun night. Well, let me back up a bit and tell you about the weekend. This weekend marked Rhema Bible Church's 20th anniversary. So it was one Big party all weekend. On Sunday night they had a bloopers reel and it was so funny. It had people like Bro. Hagin, Pastor Hagin, Tony Cooke, and many more. They also did a look back at different times. So the night started out fun. After the service the whole church went to the gym and had a pizza party. Well, needless to day after that we were getting pretty silly. Anyway, here are some pics. Hope ya'll are doing good. See ya

Praise God!

2005-10-07T12:44:00.000-07:00

So my roommate was walking home from the school's gym and had the house key in her hand and she dropped it. She went to pick it up and as she did she her someone say, "I just saved your life". She looked but didn't see anyone. So she shrugged it off and kept walking. When she got to the crosswalk she waited until all the cars stopped( we almost got hit once because a car ran the light because the light is fairly new). Once the cars stopped she started walking. When she was half way through a car on the last lane ran through the light with her in the middle of the street. She then realized that if she hadn't dropped the key she would have been that much closer to the car. Praise God for the Holy Spirit. There is so much bad stuff going on in this world that it's great to be reminded of the goodness of God. It's so easy to look at the circumstances around us that we can forget to see what our Savior has done for us. So as you read this think about something that God has done for you today. Put it in the comment box. If you can't think of anything than I think it's time to do some God searching. Anyway, I hope this encourages you. I love you all. Remember, This is the day that the Lord has made and we are to rejoice and be glad in it and make sure the devil got your memo that says he is under our feet.

MUSTANG SALLY!

2005-09-29T20:20:00.000-07:00

So my friend Kellie's mom got a mustang convertible and just over 24 hours of her owning the car she let us take it out for the night. It was a BLaST! :) So Kellie, Shayla, Debbie, and I went down 71st. The only hitch was that it decided to get cold. I mean VERY cold. It dropped into the 40's. Now I'm not complaining because I have wanted it to feel like Fall and well I got my wish. So it was freezing and all but it was so much fun. We went to the Coffee Banc which is a coffee place Rhema owns and we drank hot cocoa. Then we went to Taco Bueno. Oh yea we were living it up. Anyway, we ended the night watching Cinderella. It was perfect. So anyway that's what happened. Love ya all!

Tale as Old as Time

2005-09-26T14:39:00.000-07:00

Know which movie that's from? How about this, " You poor, unfortunate soul"? Okay this one is a little harder, " Let's make some magic"? Okay if you get this one without looking on-line then you're better than me because I had to, " Oh poppycock, female bandits"? If you know the answers put them in the comments box. So if you can't tell I love Disney. So much that I have been to Disneyland more times than my age. Not to mention the fact that I collect Disney princess stuff. I've got it so bad that I even have 5 boxes of Kleenex that I refuse to open because they have characters on them. So that may be a little extreme but at least I know I am not alone in this obsession. Actually in all honesty I know the reason I love Disney so much. Since I was young my family and I have been to Disneyland so many times along with friends from my senior class, extended family members, and many, many friends from church. I have so many wonderful memories of being there. When you enter into the park there is a sign that says, " Here you leave the world behind and enter into the land of Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Fantasy". I truly believe that is why Disney is loved by all. It's a place where young and old can leave behind the troubles of life and enter into a world of dreams. Okay, so I know I am getting a little mushy but I just love Disney. Anyway, I leave with this quote, "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you" and "All who come to this happy place welcome".

Bell's amusement Park!!!

2005-09-16T11:19:00.000-07:00

Last night I went to BELL'S. If your wondering what that is it's the amusement park in town. Now it's no six flags but it was still fun. Rhema rented it for the school and church. It was a great time to see people I haven't for a while. I went on all the rides including their new one which is the one where it takes you up slowly until your up really high and then it drops you. I have to say it was my favorite. The best part about last night was that it was totally God that I got to go. You see I had to work from 6pm to 10pm. The exact same time that the park was open. So I went to work at 6pm and my manager told me that there were extra people so I kinda jokingly asked if I could go home. She said yes. So I left at 6:30 and went with my friends. It was awesome. God is so good all the time. Anyway, here is a pic of me with my friends at Bell's. On the left of me is Debbie (my roommate), then me, Kellie, and Shayla. Take care and keep checking back. Love ya guys,
Rachel

Welcome!

2005-09-15T14:25:00.000-07:00

Well, this is a first for me. I decided that since the majority of my family and friends live in practically another world from Oklahoma I would start me a web page. Thanks to my wonderful sister who had one of these already it helped me to get started. Now I am not as good at these kind of things but in time I should be a master. I have 8 months anyway. Well, I will go ahead and give yall a run down of the past few weeks. I am back in OK and school will finally start on Monday. We have had orientation this past week. I now live in Rhema's student housing. I have a new roommate, Debbie, who is from Pittsburgh. We both started on the basketball team here but we have both decided that it's not our calling. It was fun and all but I think my focus needs to be on my school work. I am still at Old Navy and I got a promotion too. I am now in charge of the registers. Also, as if God hasn't already done enough for me these past few weeks I got a job helping at Rhema's gym. It is going to be awesome. Life is going pretty sweet right now. Well, as I said this is a first for me but expect more to come. Thanks for checking this web site out. Love all yall. Bye.
