So, here it is, in no particular order!
Vans are my favorite shoes! I started wearing them in high school and haven't stopped since! I love that they're comfy, cute, and last forever! 
I love, love, LOVE to travel! So far, I've been to about 26 states and 3 countries (besides the USA). I have always had a hunger for learning stuff and when I travel and see things that I've learned about, it comes t life for me. I love seeing new things and being out on the road. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see even half the things I've seen or go half the places I've been. I consider it a huge privilege and am very grateful for the opportunity to explore the world!
Have you ever stared up into the night sky and wondered exactly where you are in the universe or what's up there? Have you ever gotten lost in thought while staring up into the endless expanse of the heavens? I have. And still do it...all the time. I have always been amazed by the night sky and love to stargaze. I never miss a big meteor shower and have extremely fond memories of going out with my family on clear nights and watching the stars. Sometimes we would invite my aunt, uncle, and cousins to come and they would bring a telescope to get a better view. I love getting lost in the sky; to this day, it's one of the only things that can completely soothe me and make me feel like everything is just as it should be, regardless of the situation.
As you may know, my curly mane has waged war on me time and time again. Argh!!! I was at a loss of what I could do to tame it until I found these little beauties! The Totally Twisted line by Herbal Essence came to the rescue and has been a constant companion for years now. I still have trouble with my crazy hair sometimes, but I least it fits through a door! haha
Oh Target! How I love you! Target is a magical wonderland and it has seen me through tears of sorrow and tears of joy, alike. If you ever have a question...ANY question, the answer will ALWAYS be Target! For example:Q: What came first, the chicken or the egg?
A: Who knows! Lets go to Target!
or
Q: How can we manage the national debt?
A: Beats me! Lets go to Target!
or
Q: World peace?
A: You got it! Lets go to Target!
See! Target solves all problems and soothes all fears. Enough said.
Orange is my favorite color! Doesn't it just make you feel good inside? It's so bright and happy...just always makes me feel cheerful!
Ooooo! The Temple! I love the temple. It's one of my very favorite places to be and it always makes me realize that the craziness of day-to-day life is nothing to worry about; good times and bad, there's a reason that we're going through the stuff we're going through...good and bad AND that we're NEVER alone. It's good to know and nice to have a place that serves as a constant reminder. I love all temples since the ordinances are all the same, regardless of where you are, but the Newport Beach Temple will always have a very special place in my heart.
GLEE!!! Yes. Sad, but true. I've become a Gleek. It all started a couple of months ago. I was laying on my hotel bed in Texas, while on vacation, reading some stuff on the Internet when I saw it: the sad news that Ghost Whisperer had been canceled! What!?! How could this be?!? What is the meaning of life!?! So, I pushed forward on a quest to find a new show. Peer pressure to the rescue! My sister, sister-in-law, and brother had already been hooked by the show and convinced me to give it a shot. So, here I am...a Glee lover! It's a funny show and the awesome musical numbers and drama remind me of good times in high school. There you have it! See you at Gleeks Anonymous!
Fishing!!! Nope. I have never caught a fish. Do I care? Not in the least! : ) I have found fishing to be a very relaxing activity. I'm not all hardcore with it, but I just love sitting by the lake and watching the water...so peaceful! Love it!
My name is Rachel and I have a problem. I love movies! It's almost an addiction, but I love watching movies, listening to movies in the background when I'm trying to get stuff done, watching movies when I don't want to do the stuff I'm supposed to be doing (homework, grading papers, preparing talks, lessons, etc.), you know the usual stuff!
I love Christmas! It's my favorite holiday. Hands down. Not only are we celebrating the birth of our Savior, but we also get to spend quality time with family and take a little breather from work. I love Christmas music and listen to it year-round AND I love how the weather is all cold-ish and we get to snuggle up in sweaters and blankets. Sorry...that's A LOT of "and"s! : ) It also seems like people, in general, are nicer to others over the holidays. I love it when "peace on earth, good will toward men" becomes slightly more a reality than it is in normal everyday life.
Oh man! This guy is hilarious! Brian Regan is my favorite comedian. My brother and sister-in-law introduced me to him and I was hooked! His work is amzing and he's clean! Not a dirty joke or bad word comes out of his mouth during any of the routines I've seen him do. You should watch him on youtube. It's well worth your time!
I love Amazon.com because it saves me lots of money and you can find nearly anything on there. It's a miracle...really.
Autumn is my very favorite season. I love the cooler weather and even though people say the leaves don't change color in California, I have noticed that THEY DO! I understand that our colored leaves can't compare with the variety of shades in other places, but our green, red, yellow, and orange speckled trees put a smile on my face and make me grateful that we are done with yet another California roast aka summer. Also, the decor that comes out for fall amazes me. Uhhh...you know who sells great fall decor? TARGET!!! haha! See! it really is the answer to everything!There you have it! These are a few of my favorite things! When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feeeeeeeel sooooo baaaaaaad! : )
