Pictures coming soon!!

I'm going to try and post some pictures soon - I can just about imagine how boring it is to just read 'wordy' posts all the time....so, pictures coming soon!! :)

I just saw a sneak peak of my senior pics - and I'm telling you, I'm having a hard time not jumping on board the Facebook boat right now! :)  I want to get it so bad, but I think my parents are kind of hesitant for me you get it, because right now I'm spending too much time on Blogger and Gmail already and if I get Facebook, it'll be interesting to see if my schoolwork gets done...:) 

Anyway, the only reason I want to get Fb is to keep in touch with people that I haven't seen for a really long time and want to keep in touch with and who I wouldn't call or who don't check their emails...so that's my long schpeel and I am almost jumping up and down right now to see the rest of my pics - and I'm having another shoot next week w/ the piano and I want to do a "city girl" section too!! So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) 

P.S. Have I said how much I love being a senior? :)

I finally got my senior pictures taken yesterday!!  It was a beautiful, fall day with no wind and perfect lighting.  The colors at the state park where the pictures were taken were absolutely beautiful!!! There was a gorgeous red tree at the end that we took pictures with and it makes me want to get married on a beautiful fall day outside...:)  I love days like this too, with lots of wind, but yesterday was perfect for pictures!!  My smile started to feel a little fake after a while because 3 hours is a long time to smile, not to mention trying to change in the back of a vehicle.  :)  But it was so much fun!!! I"m super excited to order prints and maybe get a photo book too! :) 

Have an awesome windy day!

a blustery post...

So life is just so crazy right now- I already spend enough time on Gmail and Blogger, more than I should, plus other websites (collegefashion.net is an amazing site - just sayin':)  Anyways, then my school doesn't get done, which is how it is right now.  I'm finishing up chemistry and geometry and I'm starting Alg. 2 soon and government and worldview...I'm in choir at school and I'm in show choir too, I have two voice lessons per week and piano is every other week, which is nice.  I'm going to a girls' retreat this weekend that my cousin is hosting - I'm so excited for it!  It should be fun to get out and enjoy this beautiful, yet really windy, fall weather.  I still haven't gotten senior pics done yet - I'm excited for those too!  I have like 60 pic ideas on a USB drive - don't know how I'm going to pick my outifts and such, I'm waiting of those fall leaves to turn a pretty shade.  The problem is that I tend to think about everything at once - like right now I have a math test waiting to be finished before my tutor comes tonite...I haven't really decided if I want a blog right now.  It seems fun and all, but I think I have to get my priorities straight first.  It seems like that won't probably happen until I get to college, when I'll be too busy to even go on here.  I'll have to make strict boundaries for that and websites too once I leave. I'm so super pumped for Courageous to come out next Friday night!!!!!!! I wish our movie theatre would get it on opening night but they probably won't get it until the next weekend and besides, I might do senior pics next weekend since I'm gone this weekend.  I think that Blogger and reading and music are my escapes - I get a peak into other peoples' worlds and wish I was them instead of who I am...that's not always good I guess.  Sorry this is such a random post - just trying to sort everything out and decide if this is something I want to do - I'd love to do it, but I don't have time to get the blog in order to make it interesting...I have to get my schedule and priorites straight first...

A Crazy, Busy Summer

Well, as you can probably tell, if this is the way this blog is going to be updated (aka, every 3 months or so) you probably won't want to follow it.  I completely understand. I just haven't made up my mind as to whether I really want a blog or if I should wait until I graduate to get Facebook - as of yet, Dad won't let me get Facebook on 'his' computer, aka the one I'm using right now.  And I obviously don't have the layout and design finished on this one yet, if I do decide to keep it.  But we'll see. I've had a really busy, crazy, hectic, summer and I haven't had time to sit down and decide what I'm doing with this yet.  Signing off, Rachel...<3

My New Blog

Well, it's done - I officially have my own blog.  Of course, I have to check it out w/ my parents to make sure it's ok....the other thing is, for the people who are going to be following it - just to warn you:  I'm busy until about the first part of June w/school, so I probably won't post until then. 

Happy blogging!
