A bit about Rachel...

I was born and raised in Colorado. I spent most of my life in the same house, having moved there when I was nearly two and lived there until I was nearly 23 when I was married. I am the middle of three children, I have an older sister and a younger brother. I never really felt like the youngest, though, because my sister is quite a bit older than me. My sister has three children, two boys and a girl, whom I adore. They enjoy coming over for sleepovers whenever possible.

Growing up I loved playing outside. I could be found playing street hockey with all of the boys on our street most summer days. I was also on the swimteam every summer until my junior year in high school. I was also on the high school swimteam where I earned a letter.

Durning high school I spent most of my free timie hanging out with my friends. We would all gather at someones house and play games or watch movies. When I wasn't with my friends I was usually at my sisters house playing with my nephews.

Following high school I spent a VERY short period of time in Utah (4 months). After I got home I enrolled in school at Metro State College of Denver where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in History and a secondary education teaching licesne. During my (many) years at Metro I met Asher, got married, and we bought our first home. I enjoyed my time in school and often miss it.

Today, I love to read, bake, go for walks, dream of ways to redecorate and improve my home, spend time with my family and watch movies with Asher. Asher and I really enjoy watching movies and have acquired quite a collection of movies. My favorite movie, right now, is The Princess and the Frog. We also enjoy playing our Wii and occasionally the Xbox together. My all-time favorite television show is Friends, which I watch quite often since I have the whole series on DVD. I also enjoy watching Grey's Anatomy.
