hungry toilets

So, have you ever had to pee so bad that you are running down grocery store aisles? Yeah well it happened to me yesterday. There i am in the produce trying to figure out if i want to buy some cucumbers when it hit me. I get to the bathroom, barely, and use it. However in the midst of all this my cell phone had flipped out of my pocket, i even saw it do so in the reflection of the little trash can on the stall wall. Thought nothing of it, until i started looking around for it. Yeah, we all know where this is going......the toilet ate my cell phone!!!! Ugh!!! I did however save it from being digested, but the damage had already been done....we all know how much cell phones love water....yeah not so much! So i take it apart on the baby changer table thingy and dry it off, put it back together, and definitely didn't turn it back on until it had dried out awhile at home. Oh i have a feeling this will be story told at many family events, because of course any story that would make fun of me would be one worth telling. So....bit of advice always know where your cell phone is flying and don't let hungry toilets use it as a sacrifice.

at last

Oh how i miss brooke! I wasn't her very best friend, but she was my friend and I loved her for it. We would pass each other every day on our way to and from classes and we would always stop and talk or sign. She was one of the best people i've ever known. She was always there for anyone who needed her with a kind word or just a hug, but she was there. And now, i can finally shed the tears that have waited for five years. When she disappeared i was in total and utter shock, and then when they found her kidnapper....that was hard. Now i can mourn what i knew was probably true the whole time, but didn't want to accept. I've watched her family with awe, how amazing they are. How glad i am for the gospel at this time, to know that she is being watched over and held in the arms of a loving man. What greater comfort can she or we receive? I pray that i can always remember her example and the profound affect she had on so many lives. I love you Brooke and I will always miss you!

torture!!!!!!

Evil....it's evil i tell you!!!! So i just recently changed the background of my blog right, well then i found a different background i liked better........and then...........i found another site....OMG how do you decide? This is torture...pure torture...i can't chose between all these cutified backgrounds! What am i supposed to do??? Who has time to go through ALL the backgrounds there are and decide which one to use!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Makeover!!!!!

So i decided awhile ago that i wanted my blog to look cute like all my friends, but i was having some slight issues. Now when i say slight issues i mean that me and the template coding were not getting along, so i decided to go a different route! TaDa! I'm happy with the results, but we'll see if i get tired of it....how sad is it that i'm blogging about updating my blog? Hehehe....that makes me chuckle! Let's be honest, who isn't glad that the dots are gone!!!! I like what it is now much better! I'm also thinking about starting another blog.....but the idea only came to me today, so we'll see if that comes to fruition!

btw....i did go to mckay's and buy tons (well not tons, but more than 20) and now my reserves are full to brimming, sadly however, i found out today that one of the books i bought i've previously read, and thus am without reading materials at lunch, therefore......blog update!!!! Yay!!! The next thing you know i'll have an actual picture of me on there...hehehe!

idiosyncrasy & replinishment

lol...isn't that an awesome word? I think it is! Anyways, so why is it that we all have these different things about us that make us unique? Like why do i have to have one leg sticking out of the blanket/sheet in order to go to sleep? There i was in my bed trying to go to sleep and pop there goes my leg....i don't think it understands that when its not covered up it gets cold which isn't very conducive to sleep. Don't ya love it!!!

I'm excited for tomorrow! I get to go to Mckay's, i'll have to take pictures so y'all can see what it is! I love it, it's a huge bookstore!!!! Except for they sale them way cheap like 50 cents for the books i read, so if i get 20 it only cost me $10 I LOVE IT!!!! They have all kinds of music and stuff too, and since i have exhausted my book reserve i must replenish it, so tomorrow my mom and i will embark on a journey of the utmost important! It's so fun, we go in there and just lose track of time and the next thing you know we've spent 2 hours in there, but we can't tomorrow!!!

We're getting the Kids!!! My niece, Presley (affectionately known as sissy), and my nephew, Dawson are coming to vist MawMaw and CoCo(what they call me)! They are spending the night!!!! It'll be fun to just let lose and get some major play on!!!! And totally feed my little kid fix at the same time!!!! I'm excited!!! YAY!!!! If i can figure out how to put pictures on this thing i'll totally post some, because lets be honest they are the two cutest kids ever!!!!

.....that is the question

okay, so you know how i said i would catch up my blog after camp and put pictures and everything, well......i'm sorry i am the world's worst blogger!!!! so my life right now has really consisted of a lot of little kids. my nieces and nephews and then little kids that are like my nieces and nephew....i've got to get pictures up because yes....they are that cute!!!!

so what's going on right now? i'm at a loss....that's what!!!! what should i do, where should i go, etc.....well long story short...i'm in a rut!! i want to get out of said rut!!! sometimes i feel like if i move out of my parents house i will....however.....there goes the free rent!!!! there is absolutely no one here to hang out with that doesn't live at least an hour away (thats what i get for living in the sticks) so this is the dilemma.....to move to utah or to not move to utah? *sigh* who knows?

Thus is Life...

Okay, so I don't know who reads this...but I'm sorry I haven't written in awhile! Short update....my life has been work and camp for the past 2-3 months. I am one of the stake leaders for camp and so I've had a lot to do lately. On top of that I've been doing a lot of the ward camp organizing too. It's been crazy and camp is next week, and I'm so not ready!!!! Ugh!!! But it's been good for me. Other than that I've been hanging out with kid. my nephew and niece are so cute and they call me Coco. We're not sure why, they just started to one day, and it stuck, and now i'm coco! I love them so much! It really makes me want to have kids of my own, but I'm waiting on the Lord's timing for things, and He knows what I can handle. It's interesting for me though, because I just love those little kids so much, and I don't think I ever thought i would love someone so much....too bad it's not a man.....hehehehe...which everybody says i need. Which also sucks! People at work are always saying "Rachael you need a boyfriend" and i'm like "Why?" They all say they are going to find me one, and I say as long as he is LDS....needless to say I am still boyfriendless!!

I've decided that being my age and single and LDS is not so fun! It's funny because it's like if you're my age and single, it's like you've done something wrong, like "Why hasn't the Lord blessed you with a husband" It's a good thing my momma taught me manners because I have a feeling I would be offending some people real quick.

Anyways, I got on to say that after camp, I'm gonna sit down and catch up on my life, so I will know what i've done. hopefully i've taken pictures of everything so i can remember! I will update soon!
