Helllllllllo

Hey everyone!
This was a really fun weekend :) I had my class... well minus 4 people .... so 6 people in my class over to smoke some hookah and chill out for the night! It was really fun.. I really love my class! Alex and Judy also came to join in on the fun!

Also, my phone kinda got waterlogged, not my own fault, so now I am phoneless until the insurance company gets me my new phone! It is funny how much I depend on my phone... I think I am going to go crazy without it!!!

Busy week!!

This week has been crazY! I finished school, had Irish night, and mowed a lawn for the first time ever!

1. School was good... got good grades then on Tuesday my whole class went out to eat. It was fun to hang out with everyone.. and tonight they are all driving to my house to hang out and smoke the hookah!

2. Irish night was so much fun! WE had corned beef, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, and green sherbet!

3. Alright, mom you should be glad that you love to mow the lawn. I tried to mow mine.. and it has mow hawks all over the yard..... whoops... i will learn someday!

Here are some pictures of the week.. enjoy!

Happy Mother's daY!

I just wanted to take some time to tell everyone that I have an awesome Mom :) She is such an awesome role model of what a Christian mother should be. Thank you for always being there for me and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! There are not enough words to express how much I love you!


Other than thinking of my awesome mom today, I had a pretty low key weekend :)

Friday I went to Sioux falls to bum around with my friend until we had to pick someone up from the airport. It was a crazy fun time. I am started to find things to decorate my new apt. with! Sadly my roommate ditched me.. which is kinda nice to have the place to myself.. but it will stink paying for rent. However, my landlord is pretty awesome so I have no complaints.

Then Sat. I got up unusually early for a Sat. and got some studying done. We were going to pull the boat out if it was a nicer day... ( not to do water skiing or anything.. just to cruise around) but it rained all day. So Alex and I went on a double date with his best friend and his wife. It was awesome because unknown to me the guy's wife was in my graduating class at Dordt. We knew a lot of the same people and we got along really well! So we went out to eat at Blue Mountain restaurant in Orange City and then came back to Alex's house and played some games. It was really fun to hang out with the other couple.. and of course Alex! :)

However... it's kinda scary starting a relationship with Alex... just because he is so settled in his life here... has his house, his businesses, and a lot of other things going for him here... that if things become more serious there is chance that I might become a Sioux Center lifer. Granted that is REALLY looking ahead in the future.. but it is still something to consider. I just trust God that if this is what is supposed to happen it will.... just like he has been faithful with everything else in my life. It is just so hard to trust that God has a plan that will work out perfectly when the future looks so blurry and confusing! I will just keep praying that God's will will be done in my life ~

Other than that my last final is on Tuesday... on all the muscles in the body. It should be hard but I am not too worried because I know it pretty well. I just have to hit the books tomorrow so that I can refresh my memory!


Mom, I hope you had a great mother's day despite my lack of presence.. but I did think of you and missed you a extra lot today! I hope everyone else is doing well and hope you all have a good week!

I was TAGGED!

My sister Sarah tagged me, so here it goes… again!

7 random facts about me:

1.) I hate sitting around and doing nothing... So I have no idea what I am going to do on my days off when school is done. I might be a little bored.

2.) The only food I have at my house is cereal, milk, and a frozen corned beef that if for Irish night with my friends

3.) I never broke a bone, had a surgery, or been hurt enough to be hospitalized. Kinda weird judging from how clumsy I am!

4.) I had a 4.o last semester and I think I just ruined my 4.0 this semester with a test I took yesterday :(

5.) I grind my teeth so bad that if I don't wear my night guard my teeth will be hardly there when I turn 30 .. or so says that dentists

6.) I cant stand veins. They gross me out and I don't even know why.

7.) This last year at this house, I think I have turned the TV on twice to watch it... Not my thing to watch TV I guess... I have better things to do with my time.

The rules say that I get to tag 7 more people, so:

I will just break the rules! No one is tagged cuz I am a cheater!

Meh

Three very painful days of not being able to look at bright light or go outside + one visit to the eye doctor+ one TINY bottle of eyedrops - $75 for the TINY BOTTLE= one cornea ulcer and one sad and POOR Rachel

"You and me and all of the the people "

Hello all,
Its been quite a while it seems like since I actually updated this blog.


It will be short and simple because I got to go to bed soon!

1. This weekend we smoked the hookah .... 5 different flavors in a row!!! The neighbors also were having a party and heard we where smoking the hookah and they whole PARTY came over too! It was fun.. two people smoked it for the first time.. Alex and Kathy! It was quite the experience :) I was going to take pictures but my camera battery was DEAD!!!!

2. I went on a date with Alex this weekend to the pizza ranch in Sheldon that he own part of. It was pretty neat .. one the nicest pizza ranches I have seen. :) Then again.. I may be a little bias ;)

3. I got to go on a RIDE IN THE FIRETRUCK!! Alex took me around Sioux Center in the newest fire engine and I got to sit in the fire captain's seat and honk the horn. It was really fun and I know I am a dork!

4. SCHOOL IS OVER FOR THE SUMMER IN ONE WEEK!!! I AM PUMPED!!

5. I can't wait to start my NEW JOB! My teachers were SO excited for me and said it is the BEST job I can do for practice in my field. It will be SO FUN!!!!!!

6. I move in a WEEK.. well technically I will be renting two apartments so I will slowly move out to the new place. It should be pretty nice.. I am going to actually try to decorate it nicely so that it will be more homey!

7. I am tired... worked all week and stayed up late a lot of nights.... So I better get some ZZZZZZs for the big week ahead :)

Hope you are all doing well!

Iowa first time

This is the picture of my first tornado! It was really funny because I thought it was just a fire then my friend called me freaking out that there was all these tornado warnings. So then I realized it was a tornado and started getting ready with my roommate to move in the basement! Afterwards I realized ... the things that meant the most for me to save was : my phone, my computer, and my backpack full of school books. What a nerd.. who brings their backpack??????

However, it hit north of us so we are all ok here in Sioux Center!
