Is that a good reason to fill this out? ;)<br /><br />1. First Name: Rachel<br /><br />2. Age: 25 (will be 26 at the end of the month...ack!)<br /><br />3. Location: Weatherford, TX<br /><br />4. Occupation: Wife to the most wonderful man in the world, Manager of the Site Clean-Up Crew for our house and Caulker Extraordinaire. <br /><br />5. Partner? My husband of almost 2 years, Wesley. He is my best friend and an amazing man. I am always in awe of his wonderful Christian character and amazing sense of humor. He can always make me laugh. :)<br /><br />6. Kids: One little one in heaven...<br /><br />7. Brothers/Sisters: Ooh, you want the list? :) 4 sisters: Kate--24, Grace Anne--18, Essie--16 and Molly--5. 5 brothers: Zach--21, Samuel--14, William--12, Peter--10 and Andrew--8. <br /><br />8. Pets: One adorable, loveable and cuddly cat named Nickel. I wuvs him! <br /><br />9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:<br /><br />1. Our house! I would say that this is probably all-consuming at this time. And it's almost done!<br />2. My continuing education in being a Godly wife, daughter and friend. I guess this is just general relational stuff. :)<br />3. Learning to be "content in whatever circumstances", including living in the country without a means of getting into town! (Wes got rear-ended by a drunk driver over a month ago, and that totalled our fuel-efficient car, leaving him driving the gas-guzzling truck and me without a vehicle. We're trying to stay out of debt, so we had to wait for the (small) check from the insurance company before shopping for another car. It's been good for me, though...I spend a lot less money when I can't drive anywhere! ;)<br /><br />10. Where and for what did you go to school for? I was homeschooled from K-12 by my wonderful mother, and then I took about 2 semesters of college courses at Cy-Fair Community College. It was really just to further my music education, since I was planning on going full-time with teaching. Then Wes came along and messed up THOSE plans. ;) (An interruption that couldn't have been more welcome!)<br /><br />11. Parents? Gene and Tina; my dad is a full-time pastor of their church, St. David's (a CREC congregation) and my mother is a full-time wife, mother, teacher and gardener. :)<br /><br />12. Who are some of your closest friends? Wesley is definitely my best friend of all time. :) Other than that, I would say my dear sisters, sisters-in-law, mother and mother-in-law. <br /><br />I promise that I'll try to take some more pictures of the house today and get them up on here or Facebook...I have been terribly remiss in that, I know. But just so you know, we have almost all of the interior doors in and trimmed, the baseboard trim in, the ceilings painted and we're starting on the walls! It's so much fun! :)
