I'm Getting Married!

Yes it is true! I have been told by my most loving cousin, Traci, that I'm slacking! Slacking in that I have not provided ample pictures and cute stories about my new and true love! ha ha Two problems:

Problem 1: I don't have my ring. I accidentally told Ross that my finger was a size 8. We quickly decided that was not the case after he proposed and it didn't fit! So we had to get it re-sized from an 8 to a 6 1/2. For any one out there who has a serious boyfriend-it might be a good idea to check the size of you ring finger! Just in case. :)

Problem 2: I am ashamed to admit that I don't have any good pictures of me and Ross. I'm really waiting until we get some cute ones together so I can show you all the love of my life!

But I won't leave you in suspense I will tell you how he proposed:

On Saturday the 17th of January, I made the horrific drive from Logan, UT, to Sheridan, WY. I was so tired, but Ross promised that we would go get Chinese food. (I have a weakness for orange chicken!) He was so cute when he saw me! I've never been hugged so tight in my whole life. Anyway...we got all my luggage up to my dorm and he picked up the food. After I was stuffed to the brim with fried rice and orange chicken, he handed me two fortune cookies. I was so excited- not because I thought he was going to propose, truthfully I had no idea, but that we both got two fortunes cookies! I was always resentful that they never give more than one cookie. so I open my first cookie and my gorgeous white gold, princess cut diamond ring fall out! haha oh I was so happy! Ross later told my that I opened them in the wrong order, because the other cookie had will you marry me written on the fortune. That cutie he took the time to hold the cookies over steam until they got soft and then put them back together with the goodies inside!

When my dad asked my mom to marry him, he asked her before their meal was over. My mom was too full of energy to eat the rest of her lunch. So my smart father who loves food got two meals that day! I just want to thank Ross for letting me, my father's daughter, to finish my meal first! haha

So that is how it happened...and a little kissing, but I won't tell you about that!

The World of photography!

I am currently taking a digital photography class, which I love, and today I was led to an inspiring blog! It is called Stuck in Customs: unique photography for unique people. This page is a whole feast for you eyes. I'm really jealous of this photographer because is seems like all he does is travel the world taking great pictures! I'm luck if I even get out of my dorm room on weekends. ha ha
If you have time check this blog out!
Today in class we discussed how digital photography has blown traditional methods out of the water. We talked about how frustrated photographers who use film must be when a rooky who doesn't know what aperture means comes up with amazing photos using a digital camera. Advances in technology have made things easy for all of us, but when do we go too far? Will art and particularly photography start losing its value? An even harder question is What am I going to do for my wedding photos? Yikes!

Christmas Enjoyment!

These are some of the best movies all for getting you into the Christmas spirit! I have a checklist of movies to watch every year before Christmas! I cannot wait to go home and watch "A White Christmas" with my papa! It is by far my favorite Christmas movie. Singing, Romance, Humor, and snow!


Another Christmas tradition in my family is to watch Scrooge the musical! When I was a kid, I used to be so scared and I would hate my mom for making me watch it! But it has such a good message.


Two days Mom! I'll be home in two days!

DONE WITH FINALS!

Wow I feel so good! A ten page paper and two portfolios all in three days! Is there a word coming to anyone else's mind? Like...PROCRASTINATION! haha I'm sure I'm not the only one. Now I am free to breathe deep and enjoy the Christmas season! So Merry Christmas to all you bloggers out there!

Well...the high temp yesterday was -5. I am freezing here in Sheridan! haha Sorry, Family! I have not kept you updated for a long time now! So here's what's going on in the life of Rachael...On top of being trapped in a giant freezer, it is finals week! yipee. I'll admit I am a little stressed, but I'll be ok. Church is good and I am the new gospel doctrine teacher in the branch. It keeps me busy. I am very very very excited to go home for Christmas and yes (to those of you who were in question) I have a boyfriend! His name is Ross Workman and went to Argentina on his mission. I'm sure I'll be writing much more about him ;). Isn't this sunset pretty? I took this picture about two weeks ago and I finally got around to blogging it!

Happy Birthday Mommy Dearest!!!!!!
I love you.

One Corrupted by Facebook!

Wow it has been awhile since I have posted a blogg! After reading my cousin Taylor's blogg about the evils of facebook, I should have stayed far away-but sadly I have given into peer pressure. ha ha. The first day I was on for about 5 hours! But now I have decided to spend more time on my own blogg! And although I am not capable of writing an essay on the reasons why blogging is much more enjoyable- I will just tell you that it is!
