i slept in, rode spot for an hour, and bought a picture frame, a candle, a candle holder, and a little box at target, ALL WITH GIRAFFES ON THEM. my collection is rapidly getting out of hand.
off to consume lots of pizza and help my mommy with a 1000 piece puzzle.

well, been a while eh? life seems to move in slow motion at school because you do the same things every day, but then you look and the months fly by. amazing. life is amazing. amazingly awsome and wonderful and full of love and friendship and laughter. sometimes life can be amazingly sucky too, but mostly not.
lets see...lots has happened in the past month. i guess the most inportant and life-changing would be what happened during my random week off from school. on the 27th of january, Josh Troyer and I left to go to Long Island because his step-mom had called and said that his dad was getting really really bad, and she thought he might want to come home. his dad had a very advanced case of melanoma, and had tried numerous treatments that didn't work. he had multiple tumors, including one in his heart, and it had spread to his brain. so we left on friday morning to drive home, and we got there and got to talk to his dad for a bit. he even gave Josh a hug and said "Hi Rachel. No traffic?" when we got there. It was exciting :). but anyway, he progressively got worse and worse, and eventually on saturday night he passed away with everyone around him. i know he was ready to go, and everyone knew it was time, but it was still really sad. i was glad we made it there in time on friday and that Josh got to spend some time with him. the visitations and the service and burial (military burial...yeah 25 years in the Navy!!!) he was an awesome guy, and i am really thankful that i got to know him and spend time with him when he came up to school, and when i visited over Christmas break. he gave me a gold star for making Josh tell him he loved him, and he called me a firecracker. i miss him though, and am sad that he is going to miss out on a lot of important things in Josh's life. he's dancing with Jesus though. :) i know Josh misses him alot too, so if you would keep him in your prayers that would be great. it's been hard. so that's the biggest thing that's happened, and if you want to know more, just ask. people at school have been really nice about it too, which is great.
haha another big thing that happened to me is i got my nose pierced. i got it done the first week in January, and i love love love it. i'll put a picture up so you can see. :)
a couple weekends ago was winter weekend, and judy and alex and josh and i went. we had a lot of fun, and spot was good afterwords too.
mmmmm.....i am home for break right now. 10 days off and i am loving it. i go back the 5th, and i don't have any homework, only some studying to do. i have no plans either. sleeping in, spot, and hanging out with crystal is it. and the DR fundraiser. and josh coming up at the end of the week!!!! yay!!
well i am off to hang out with my daddy. my mom is in cedarville visiting sarah and is coming home tomorrow (but i will still be asleep :)).
