Hey, 26 posts in one night... you gotta be proud of that! welp, I've updated alllll of my photos on my yahoo photo book. Check em out! It took me all night, it's the least you could do! :)
enjoy!

Obivously a lot of updating needed to happen....

Well hello all, sorry for the mass update but obviously tonight is the first chance I've had to get to it. I'm out of school now if you can't tell from the recent "free-time" I've experienced... I'm really not quite sure of what to do with myself! I'm sitting here watching tv, movies, I think I might just read a book after I'm done with this... is real life like this or am I just a lucky student on Christmas break???? Nonetheless I'm grateful, even if I do see poor grades when they come out... in the end, I think all that matters is that I'm still alive.... being finished is really what has the value. Welp, hope you enjoy the posts and take in my last couple of months, mostly with the volleyball team livin it up as always. We did well this year, we'll do better next year. I just got a job with CIS (computer information systems dept. at SPU). I'm nervous but excited. It'll be great experience and for me, probably really really stressful but I'm up for the challenge and glad I've been blessed with the opportunity. Getting this job has blessed me to have enough experience to hopefully(if everything else goes well...) to get into the grad/masters program(Information Systems Management) next year and continue to do the thing I love (volleyball) with the people I love(my girls, duh!)... I'm really shocked everything is working out as planned. Life seems okay and I'm happy to still be hangin in here. I can't wait to come home and spend time with my fam. I love you all so much and really wish it was more than just the breaks to spend time together but I guess that's what happens. I'll try to update my yahoo photo album and let you know when it's current! probably later this evening.... :)
peace,
Rachel :)

Here's the whole team... off to Regionals! ...ps, don't ask why I'm leaning in so much when clearly there is tons of room on my side of the picture to stand like a normal person... even though I'm not sure I'm capable... idiot! (melissa, hehe, you know I turned my head saying that..hehe) 

I love my girls! 

The sun is definately in our eyes, in case you were wondering about any of our mental health... 

the other table of beautiful young ladies... and okay I guess tom isn't one of them... sorry buddy 

What a good looking group of girls :) 

Just beautiful... you can't ask for anything else in the middle of November when you know it's freezing cold in Seattle 

Yes, we like being weird... it's sort of a hobby really 

Just back from Idaho... yes, conference champs...don't mean to brag... what what....hehe :) 

my current background on my computer... thought I'd share the love. Lyss and Mike and I at senior night... and no, it's just sparkling cider in a bottle ;) 

The seniors and I... we know we're cute, no need to compliment :) 

Got Chocolate?

Welcome to the North Pole...Alaska! :)

most of the team in the sleigh...where can you go wrong with a pose like that... okay accept for the fact that I'm turning transparent in the sunlight... soon you won't even be able to see me! yikes...

ps please tell me you love the frow!!!! cause I do... of course, how could I not!?!? just look at it! amazing really. ahhh the good ol' north pole. nothin like it! 

oh look! a reindeer, how cute! he's even giving me a little kiss... and here's the story: even though, yes, they mailed me my mitten, I definately lost it on the reindeer's antler, which of course I was NOT trying to touch...hehe... and he flung it onto his side of the fence where he promptly started to chomp on it and didn't stop even as I was being pulled away and had to go back to the cars....... 

Little did I know, just seconds later Dasher would be chomping on my little mitten.... don't touch the reindeer, moron!!!!! 

And there it is, my poor little mitten... eaten by Dasher 

yep, just keep trying to eat it! see if I care!!
