HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(meant to put this on on ur actual birthday but this is the first time i've been on since then)

hey whats up

hey whats up?

so i'm here to give an update on the happs.
first of all i wanted to be the first to announce an early happy birthday to brooke! (and to say that my birthday is coming up in about a month! YAY! i am also oober excited because i went to my old school and got to talk to and say hi to all of my teachers from last year. I MISS THEM AND THAT SCHOOL ALOT!!!!! (i know it sounds weird but i kinda wanna go back there) i am also happy cause i'm done with my first reading assignment (the tempest by shakespere) we will then read the scarlet letter (UGH) but i'm not so excited because we will have to write an essay. i don't really know what else to say so....

o check this out! i totally made this up in bio class and wanted to show you all!

CAMPUS KICKOFF!

campus kickoff was this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was sooooooooooo much fun~

for those of you who don't know what that is...it was when a buncha different churches were invited to go to sunsplash and hang out there ALL NIGHT!!!! we had a blasty-blast! my favorite ride was probably the half pipe....and you can ask anyone who we were with....i was so scared to do it!
the half pipe is exactly what the name implies: you are in a tube and you go down this almost 90 degree angle slide and up the other end. its CRAZY! but i did it and it was a lotta fun.

***(i also discovered that the black tube closest to the steps is a multicolored slide)

my bad

my bad...brooke has 6 pairs of "nick jonas" glasses :)

• red
• pink
• yellow
• checkered
• white
• and i forgot the black ones
  

cooler pic than on brooke's blog :)

ok well if you haven't read Brooke's blog yet than I'll recap...
first of all she's saying some girl came over to her house and they made up a dance and she calls this girl her bff....well i thought i was her bff.....and i went over to her house last Saturday...and we did make up a relaly goofy dance......
ok so it was me she was talking about...and i had a blasty-blast!
i spent the night at Brooke's house on last Saturday!
she has all these really cool "nick jonas" glasses (i'm not even kidding she has 5 pairs ) so i came up with the fabulous idea to take pics of us in them!
then we curled each other's hair for church the next morning and it looked really cute!
and we were listening to "leavin' " by Jesse McCartney and we must have been really tired because its really funny! hehe right brooke?
well check out Brooke's blog and tell me what u think of mine!

happy birthday joe!

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(its joe jonas's birthday!)

and their new CD ("a little bit longer") (correct me if i'm wrong) is coming out soon!

hey everyone!

this week seems like one of those weeks that isn't necessarily bad because it hasn't been...its just really long. you know what i'm talking about?

i thinks its just because we are getting into the swing of things with school starting an all...and homework.....and the scedule of getting up at 7 and to bed at like 10 or 11 (when in summer it was more like: wake up at 11 and go to bed at like 2..hehe...)

so i'm jsut saying hi! hang in there! the week only has one more day! and for all yall who haven't started school....have fun on monday! :)

your sis in christ,

rachel

and if u need any prayer from me, tell me and i promise i will pray!

first day

well...
it happened...
it finally happened...
first day of school!!!!!!!!!

it wasn't that bad....it wasn't really exciting...but it is school! and my teachers are nice
we have to take latin and i like that class and i like humane letters...

how was ur first day?

DE OLYMPICS ;)

the OLYMPICS ARE HERE!
hehe i know its not that exciting but i wanted to say that they start 8.8.08@8 :)

ok the reason I'm writing is because i wanted this pic on my blog because i think the little guys are really cute ;)

:'(

why am i so sad????

(sniff sniff) because school starts TOMORROW!
i can't believe it! well technically its school but i just have to go and we aren't learning or doing any school work...well nothing that requires our school stuff. its just that summer went by so fast! i guess work and camp makes it seem like that. i technically start on monday along with everyone else. so how are u spending your last day(Z) of freedom???

today i went to see journey to the center of the earth. i thought it was gonna be kinda cheesy but i loved it! some parts made me jump! hehe

well ttfn (tatafornow)

heywhatsup

hey guys! sorry i haven't posted in a while..........ive been oober busy!!! i have so many things going on! just life.....you know? so just saying hi and whats up to all my peeps and peeplets!
and to ask how your summer is!
well tata for now!

[LOL brooke]

ttyl love u all!

*~Rachel~*

BROOKE....

hey brooke, I'M STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oops!

hey you guys!

on my post about phantom where i said all the names, when you click on the names at the top (ie. phantom: gerard butler) it shows you a pic of them!

oh ya and his name is GERARD BUTLER not GERALD BUTLER

spring break

well this week is my spring break and i'm loving it!
me and my fam are going to flagg and brooke can't post all week bc she is in DISNEYLAND! brooke sent me this pic of her waiting outside of THUNDERMOUNTAIN bc she was bored so i was like ooh im gonna have it on myne b4 you do! have you guys ever tried closing your eyes the whole time you go on THUNDERMOUNTAIN? you should its soooooooooo much fun!

i love her sunglasses...hmmmmm....doesn't nick jonas have a pair of red glasses like that brooke?

obsession.....

Raul: Patrick Wilson
Christine Daae: Emmy Rossum
phantom: Gerard Butler

ok so i seem a little obsessed for phantom of the opera {right brooke?}
but its so hard NOT TO BE!
if any of you has seen the movie, how can you NOT fall i love with it?
raul is such a good singer and is cute, phantom {if you don't look at the right side of his face} is cute and is a drop dead awesome singer with such a penetrating voice and
equally penetrating eyes,
and christine has the most amazing voice i've ever heard
and was only 16 when she made the movie!
so brooke call me obsessed!
i'm self proclaimed obsessed!
and i know jacova can vouch for me!

HAWK NELSON

hawk nelson!
at D2S hawk nelson played at the concert after the seminar and they are soooooooo cool!
i love this pic!
I LOVE JASON MORE THAN BROOKE DOES!
LOL
I LOVE YOU TOO BROOKE!

me and brooke!
i'm sure u all know that me and goober [brooke] are like inseparable but u probably don't know [idk you may know] that we would be rich if we got $5 for every person who asked if we were sisters/twins/cousins/blah blah blah! people even have even told her mom
that they didn't know she had twins!!!!!!!!!
its like after 14 years we have taken on the same body [LOL BROOKE!]
we have soooo many inside jokes together its not even funny!
the reason i'm telling you guys this is to encourage you guys
to really hold onto the freinds you have.
a girl on my volley ball team wasn't looking too happy and i was like "hey whats wrong?"
it turns out her long time bff just ended their friendship!
i was like "don't loose all hope you guys will make up!"
brooke knows exactly what i'm talking about!
we have gotten in sooooo many fights and have made up so many times!
when we all go to highschool its gonna be way different than what we're used to!
keep the friends you have and let God lead you where you need to be!

D2S.

HEY EVERYBODY!
[i know its longer than usual but please read it and comment about your fav thing]
most of you [all of you] went to dare2share. it was soooo amazing~! way better than i thought it would be! i was thinking...hmmm...a conference that shows how to survive in this world....fun.
BUT IT REALLY WAS LIFE ALTERING!
zane, greg, and derwin really showed what it was like to totally screw everything up and then get back on your feet and let Jesus turn you around 180

for you who were there, that skit on friday night was my favorite part of D2S
all through it i was like: Oh My Goodness! THAT COULD SERIOUSLY HAPPEN? AHHHHHHHHH IDK IF I LIKE THAT! LIKE I COULD GET KILLED? HURT? but then i realized: IM SO SELFISH! JESUS IS SOOOOO AWESOME! HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ME! Y? Y WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT FOR ME? Y? IF HE COULD DO THAT FOR ME WILLINGLY, I SHOULD LIVE FOR HIM, HE DESERVES IT! I LOVE HIM sooooooo MUCH! AND HE LOVES ME MORE!
after that skit, Greg told all the youth leaders to stand in the aisle, and tim went and stood in the big aisle between our two sides of students. Greg went up to TIM of all ppl and talked to him about how much Tim loves us. after that, Greg told all the leaders to extend their arms and pray for us. TIM prayed so loud and it was exhilarating! i was totally stoked for Christ after hearing Tim. that night i decided to stop messing around with Christianity and going through the steps and actually meaning what i say.
idk if you all felt like that, but i did.
if Greg, by some bizzare chance you read this, thank you soo much! i can't wait to go back!

love you all! bye!

gOoBeR & bUtTeRcUp

just to give you guys a heads up because u probably have no idea what im talking about when i say "goober and buttercup"
{my new name is buttercup and brookes is goober!}
its a Huge inside joke between me and brooke its kinda our "alter egos"
right brooke?
{wink wink}

if you have read brookes blog and her post where she wrote about these pix than u kinda know a little more than im telling you....{hint hint look at her blog nxt}

aren't we cute though?
look closely! these are our profile pix!
~sorry brooke that was ur line~
LoL
feel free to ask the whole story on the 2 different names!

hats!

aren't we soooooo cute!?!?!?!?!?
do u think so????
lol

this week's missions

Hey you guys! waz up?
well i haven't posted in a while but here i go...
i have gone on 2 missions trips this week. one was Really Fun! the other...not so much.

this week has been a real eye opener for me though {despite the bad experiences}

in both i realized that i am sooooo blessed and that there are more important things than just my comfort zones.

the trip on monday could have gone better but we had fun {or tried to} in washing walls and towel snapping fights and serving meals

the trip today was soooooooo much fun~ we learned that

• brooke is cruel to dead animals
  
• gavin's truck can hold 16 ppl in the bed and 21 ppl in the truck total
  
• never give 2 best friends paint rollers and expect them to go away clean
  
• we can make a HUGE difference for a family that has who knows what in their backyard
  
• jr highers can really help clean up and still have fun and feel great!
