Man life has changed sooooooo much in the past 6 months. Some good some bad. I guess it's all just apart of learning and growing in life. I've made some bad decisions and some fairly good ones. Let's see,... overall last summer was pretty great. Went to Texas...... I adore Texas! Started dating this really great guy. Then my family moved back to Arkansas. And I got a really awesome job. Which has helped me pay for an expensive cell phone and laptop among other things. What's changed recently? Well I'm taking Hip Hop classes, Archary Lessons and I'm learning to shoot a bunch of different kinds of guns.Once Shane gets his horses moved up here from Hot Springs I'll be takin horseback riding lessons. I've been working about 6 days a week lately and I'm dyin for a Saturday off so I think I'm gonna get this Saturday off. Cory and I broke up. Even though it was sad it's better off that we did. We had nothing in common. But I still consider him a friend and a good man. Let's see what else..... my friend Caleb will probably be leaving for Iraq in June, so please keep him in your prayers. He has a lot of decisions to make and a lot of stress in his life right now. And he could use our support.

Right now I'm just basically bored out of my mind in this small town and I'm tryin to find something to do on the weekends! And even some weeknights. I just wish there were more people around here my age. I need to find some stuff to do in Conway or North Little Rock or something!! I need to meet more people yo!! lol Overall my life is actually pretty good. I get along with everyone at work and I've already gotten a really big raise! And my boss told me I have another huge one on the way! I'm climbing the ladder I guess. I'm not really sure what's goin on with me and school right now. I still haven't done a lot with my online courses. I think I'm still gonna move for Bible College but with the way things are going at work and all I'm not sure. So there's your update! I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to this. Hopefully I can keep up with it from now on.

I can't get used to this new page thingy! Well I thought I'd give y'all a lil update since I haven't done this in forever and I just felt like it all the sudden.
I have a sunburn on my face........ it doesn't hurt it's just hot and it's not too much of one so I believe I'll live. However I must go back out in the sun tomorrow so let's pray my daddy has sunblock.
Speaking of my dad.... I'm filling in for the helper he fired for being a bum lol. 13 bucks an hour...... I don't mind helpin lol. Anyways so it's outside and it's grinding his weld's and brushin them and crap but it's kinda fun and I don't mind cause I get to spend more time with my dad (which he seems to like a lot,... I'm getting many life lesssons as we work) and I'm getting 13 bucks an hour which is pretty sweet I'm not gonna lie to ya. lol The only downfall is this one welder has a daughter who is helping him...... if you want to call it that. She doesn't do jack squat she sits out there flirts with the guys (who are all ugly btw) and let's her daddy to all his work and her work too. She has a kid already she's my age and she wants me to get an apartment in conway with her what kinda crack is this girl smoking? oh that's right she only smokes ciggerettes. They must have something illegial in them for her to think I'm gonna go party with her and get an apartment with her and her baby. But her little girl is adorable.

hmmm what else?........ oh yeah MY BOYFRIEND IS COMING IN ONE DAAAAYYYYYYYY!!! If I can just get tomorrow over with!! OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!! Once I get off work tomorrow my life is going to be absolutly perfect and I adore being me. I kinda dread tomorrow cause I was sick today and my dad was like you need to go home and rest. I felt so bad leaving and I tried to get my mom to turn around and take me back to help him but she wouldn't. She was like I drove all this way and you're sick anyways so you're going home and I was like NOOOOOOOOOOO I'M TOUGH!!! Yeah didn't work. Anyways I'm sure I'll be fine tomorrow and even if I'm not, in true classic rachel form, I'm going to fake it! lol I just can't wait for Cory to get here!! I think I'm probably gonna die when I see him!! haha I hope he can catch a running jump cause I'm gonna tackle him down if he doesn't! So this is pretty much going to be the best weekend of my life so far!!! I seriously have the most amazing boyfriend ever and I love my life. Perfect boyfriend, Money, Time with my dad, This weekend,...... see what I'm sayin? lol

Anyways I think I'm gonna throw up so I should probably go lay down. Y'all better leave comments or it's gonna be bad........ you think I'm kidding but I'm not. LEAVE COMMENTS!!!

I swear everytime I get on here to put up a xanga post they've changed the page again.

I love Arkansas!!! It's so beautiful here!! We moved up to Heber Springs which is in the foothills of the Ozarks. We have a gorgeous home out in the country now! I'll get some good pictures to show y'all later. I put up a slideshow of pictures from my Texas trip on my myspace which is www.myspace.com/nailgirl9

Mayflower is bringing our furniture on Friday morning and I seriously can't wait for all of my stuff to get here!! After I help momma get everything unpacked then I need to start lookin for a job. My dad offered for me to come out there and work with him but.......... my mom's cousin decided to work with my dad. Besides it's a manly man job and you know I'd be like OMG EWW I'M SWEATY!! haha jk

Leaving Colorado felt kinda weird,.... like "is this really happening ?" I guess I felt trapped there for so long to be able to leave was ........ it was weird okay! Anyways in classic Kansas form the Tornados followed us along with heavy rain which was the cause of me almost running into a semi......... yes your dear darling lovely rachel almost killed herself her sister and her dog along with their very expensive electronics in the back seat. The rain was so bad I couldn't see my dad's break lights in front of me and I was right up on him tryin not drive off the road. Then the semi's came and sucked us towards them and that was the cause of my sister screaming JESUS OMG SAVE US GOD DON'T LET US DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE followed by some prayin in tongues and her freaking out tryin to find her cell phone to call my momma hahahaha I'm so serious her and my mom are horrid passengers. My mom evidently was doing the same thing in my dad's truck that was driving ahead of us. My dad and I laughed about it later over a crusty donut and some stale coffee in a truck stop in some small town in Kansas when we decided to pull over and not die at like 10pm. So we decided to get back on the road and try again since the rain seemed to let up a lil. Little did we know it was only fooling us to get us back on the road so it could try to kill us again. We finally made it to Hayes, Kansas found a hotel and passed out drenching wet. For some reason it feels like it takes a lifetime to get thru Kansas probably because I think Kansas has it out for me. It wants me to die or somethin cause it seriously is hell to drive thru. By the time we reached the Oklahoma state line Mindy was leaving me a message on xanga and my sister and I were jumpin up and down in the Esclade screamin WE'RE IN OKLAHOMA FINALLY WE'RE OUTTA HELL OH YEAH OKLAHOMA ..... then I stopped to realize it didn't look much different from kansas so I held off any more celebrating until we got to Tulsa. On the way to Tulsa was the toll station incident........... where we ended up going the wrong way and had to turn around. Me jumpin out of the Truck running across three toll lanes to a lady in a vest who was like HONEY YOUR DAD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU HE'S TURNIN AROUND!!!!  I then proceeded back to the vehicle tryin to not get killed and then it hit me............ it's hotter than the henges of hell here.Hello Southern Humidity. Reminded me of Texas which in turn only made me sick wanting to be in Texas instead of driving on a road that my dad didn't even know where it was gonna take us. I jumped back in the car and raced around the toll station only to find my dad in front of me lookin in his side mirror laughing. My dad is awesome. I love how my parents had the possession of two count them TWOOOOOO CELL PHONES and didn't find it important to maybe USE ONE!!! I dont' know why they even have cell phones. Moving on we got lost in Tulsa.... a lil too convient considering my dad mentioned he'd like to see a lil bit of Tulsa before we settled down in Arkansas. We made it to Arkansas at like11pm or somethin... pulled into Clarksville and it was a beautiful thing. After that I never wanted to drive again. However of course I was the one elected to drive everyone everywhere cause 1. my mom and sister hate driving and get us lost and 2. my dad was sick of driving too and he's a heck of a lot bigger than me so I usually just do what he says and don't ask questions lol Anyways after days of switching towns and hotels, tornados and a lost doggie we finally found a house which was great cause the oil men scare me okay. lol Our house is so gorgeous y'all gotta come here and stay for the weekend or something!!!

Kris is pretty much the bestest guy friend in the world. He's presently sending me clips of him saying random crap in weird voices to make me laugh! Penguins cost a friggin lot to import just so you know........... midgets are kinda cheep evidently. You can get two for the price of one peguin. But then I guess Mindy could tell y'all about how cheep midgets go for hahaha.

Anyways in closing............. I love y'all and can't wait to talk to those of you who I haven't talked to yet!! Keep in touch and I'll try to update on here more often!!

And P.S. I pretty much have the greatest boyfriend ever!!!

Okay so umm hey y'all! For those of you who I didn't get the chance to talk to cause I've been so busy, I'm not gonna be online for probably ages. Our plans changed and we're leaving for Arkansas tomorrow instead of in September! I'm gonna miss my beautiful house and my nice town and polite neighbors  I can't go to sleep......... of which for that fact I blame a certin guy  Anyways we're no where near ready to leave, and I haven't even packed my clothes yet..... I know, I'm so screwed. I only have a couple hours to sleep........ and I'm gonna end up doing most of the driving to Arkansas because "the interstate- highways freaks my sister out"  Yeah okay. So if you never hear from me again I probably fell asleep at the wheel and died. haha That's horrible! The crap that I say anymore I swear it's awful!! Okay so yeah.......... I don't think it's sunk in yet that I'm not coming back here and this be home ever again. I'm kinda looking at this as a vacation which it isn't. Cause once I'm gone there's no lookin back! Ooo I'm so dramatic. lol I'm pretty excited about going home tho so I think I can manage missing here for a lil bit. Not to mention how close to Mindy I'm gonna be! I'm not gonna lie to ya,.......... we're pretty great. So I pretty much adore my life....... Moving, new life, new stuff to do, new job, closer to my best friend, I'm crazy about this guy...... I'm pretty sure everyone would wanna be me lol  I can't wait to see my cousins! My whole family infact, it's been ages. Anyways Mindy can't sleep and neither can I so I'm gonna go lay down and talk to her until I fall asleep. I hope y'all have a great couple of weeks . I'll talk to you guys later!!

Do you have any idea what it's like to go from being totally confused to being confident in how you feel and what you think to all the sudden only be ripped back into confusion all in one night? Yeah well it sucks. I don't know that it's really even confusion that I'm in right now. More like.... I'm sad but at the same time it's like this is the facts and you have to deal with it. Cause some things work and some don't. Somethings mesh and others........... well yeah. I don't even know how to explain what I mean by sad. More like maybe it'll never work and that makes me kinda sick. Okay so here's the facts. I met a guy. I absolutly adore him. And he likes me too. And it seems great. Then tonight we got into a discussion about doctrine. And he doesn't believe like me which is fine. But that causes so many problems and I wish it didn't. But it's like we disagree on one of the biggest controversey's in the church. So it's like a pretty big deal. I'm not trying to make it one but he's right I mean if we don't agree on that someone is going to have to compromise because you need to be in agreement to have a relationship. I'd like to just forget about it and look over it and not make a big deal out of it and us just live in peace about it but the fact is that we have to get to know each other and what we believe and you can't overlook something like that. I guess at one time I thought you could. I wish life was more simple,... and the decisions therein. He's just really a great guy,.... pretty much everything I wanted, except we disagree on how we believe and that's a big deal. He's the sweetest guy and he actually cares about if he hurts my feelings or what I think about things. And he's so cute when he smiles at me it makes me melt. I guess tho that romantic relationships can't be like friendships where you look past what the other person believes and accept them for who they are..... because you are in the relationship to maybe eventually one day get married and become one and have a family in which you have to agree in order to raise kids. Why am I over thinking this? Okay facts..... I like him..... A LOT...... what happened tonight didn't make me think any differently of him but I do believe it made him think differently of me. It doesn't bother me that he doesn't believe in speaking in tongues......... it bothers him that I do speak in tongues.  Wouldn't life be great if on all the big issues we all agreed? in some way or another. It doesn't change the fact that I'm crazy about him......... but it makes me kinda sick to think that I like him so much and we could end up.......... what am i tryin to say......... not trying to make it work. But I mean in the end it's all in God's hands and if it's meant to be it'll be. And if it's not then there should be peace in that knowing that God has control. I mean God has taken me this far and He's told me when I should and shouldn't do things. And all I have to do is put my trust in Him and I know He won't let me down. It's just so hard to give things completely to Him when you want to have control and you want to have a say ya know? But as much as rambling on about this and tryin to console myself should be putting me at ease I think it's just making me more sad. So I think I'm gonna move on.....

IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS LCPL WILLIAM BUBMBALOUGH WILL BE BACK IN THE STATES DRINKING HIS DANG BEER!!! I'm so thrilled. I was on the phone with Cory when he texted me saying he's about to hop a plan in under 7 hours on his way back to the states. I'm really relieved. I don't think I've ever worried so much about someone. So finally this hell is over and it'll be awhile before I have to brace down again for him to leave. I love how I can just say anything to him and him always have some lighthearted response. I mean like I was never afraid to tell him things about myself when we first met and I'm not like that now......... minus a couple times within the two years that I've known him that there were a few things I couldn't just flat out say to him no matter how badly I wanted to. Come to think of it I said them anyways.... see how far that got me? haha But in general now I say what I want and it's all gravy. And he agrees with me. If you go on vacation and have the chance to hook up with someone who's hot then do it. lol!

Anyways it's insanely early and I haven't slept and I'm not tired now... for some strange reason. I'm gonna get up and go drink some juice that momma bought yesterday and talk to her for a bit. Shockingly enough this is the first time in a long time that I've been honest and open and used this dang this for what I orginally meant it for. I suppose the last time I was serious and honest was......... november. probably. I don't know I never keep track of anything anymore.
