So here goes, this year has been amazing! Gabriel is almost 2 and is definately a handful, but I love it. He runs around all day and says all kinds of hilarious things. One of his favorite things to say is "Show?" while nodding at me, like of course you will say yes... I usually let the poor kid down and say no though. I am a mean mom who only lets him watch one show a day-- if that. He also loved Halloween so much! He was a dragon and thought "tick-treat" ing was the coolest thing he had ever done, he tries to get me to take him everyday now :) We go for walks a few times a week with my awesome aunt Fawn, we take the dogs (my two and her two) it kind of becomes a circus some days. In August we went to Disnyland with Jared's family. It was so fun and we all had a blast! Gabriel loved the characters and would not wait in line to see them, it was so cute to watch him snuggle up to them and of course they all loved him too. The chipmunks wanted to keep him forever! Other funny things Gabriel says are... any male adult he sees, he points and says "man" then asks them for a hug, he calls pumpkins "cumpies" and jack-o-lanterns "ooooooooo cumpies", he is learning ownership and so everything is "mommy book" or "baby book" or "daddy book" etc. He likes to point to my bum and say "mommy bum" the other day he turned his pumpkin over and said "cumpy bum" I laughed so hard, he is just to darn cute and funny. I am excited to announce he is going to be a big brother! I am pregnant again! Yippee! It is a GIRL! and I am due Feb 25th. Don't tell Jared, he is being a pest again, not wanting to know :) I couldn't do it. I tried to wait and lasted about 36 hours after my ultrasound and gave in. The tech gave me an envelope with it inside, in case I caved... which obviously, I did. I am nervous to have two little ones running around but so so so excited. Gabriel needs a playmate and someone to help be responsible for. I think it will help in the excess energy department lol. Jared and I are just happy and enjoying our life together. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8533483440387375882-7636712164592451705?l=rachy-singleton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/feeds/7636712164592451705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8533483440387375882&amp;postID=7636712164592451705' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/7636712164592451705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/7636712164592451705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-think-i-might-be-worlds-worst-blogger.html' title='I think I might be the world&apos;s worst blogger!'/><author><name>Rachi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07239682240909277938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1Yl4Lsc82I/AAAAAAAAA1c/OaxcedekyEM/S220/Rachi-025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/TOQqi7uv3nI/AAAAAAAABi0/AA0N4YDDnuU/s72-c/IMG_6306.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533483440387375882.post-3545416196700263288</id><published>2010-01-08T13:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-08T14:47:27.678-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I can't believe my baby is 1!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUUH6WlXI/AAAAAAAABhk/aTb0_Z0bBv4/s1600-h/Picture+728.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436007823678281074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUUH6WlXI/AAAAAAAABhk/aTb0_Z0bBv4/s320/Picture+728.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUTagIwpI/AAAAAAAABhU/NRLezmHmaZs/s1600-h/Picture+611.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436007811488727698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUTagIwpI/AAAAAAAABhU/NRLezmHmaZs/s320/Picture+611.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUVFZS_lI/AAAAAAAABh0/WW4zvET1jAw/s1600-h/Picture+897.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436007840182632018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUVFZS_lI/AAAAAAAABh0/WW4zvET1jAw/s320/Picture+897.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUUmQ0RqI/AAAAAAAABhs/E5WxuqMyqEw/s1600-h/Picture+772.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436007831825565346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUUmQ0RqI/AAAAAAAABhs/E5WxuqMyqEw/s320/Picture+772.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUTn5TNlI/AAAAAAAABhc/kTdLnnP-D3o/s1600-h/Picture+734.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436007815083931218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/S3CUTn5TNlI/AAAAAAAABhc/kTdLnnP-D3o/s320/Picture+734.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;How time flies, Gabriel just turned 1-- 2 months ago, and I love it.

Jared, Gabriel, and I went down to Jared's family's property last week with a couple of our friends, Devon and Chelsey. The first day, we went to a lake, called Forsythe, just up the road from the property. Gabriel didn't have a life jacket so I took him for a walk, and a scenic drive while the others went out in the boat. A couple of hours passed and Jared came in to meet up with me. He took Gabriel and I got to go out on the lake. At this point everyone was a little frusterated and annoyed because those wiley fish had skunked them. Devon and Chelsey were getting bites but not landing anything. I let out my line and the time passed, as we drove around the lake... Nothing happened for a long time. We drove down near the dam, where Jared and Gabriel were hanging out with Devon's stepdad. As we went around in a loop past the dam, SLAM! My line got hit!!!&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 130px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 97px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343895452655957346" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SilUmdxiNWI/AAAAAAAABfI/tlWxfcnY5aE/s320/fighting+trout.jpg" /&gt; I set my hook and started reeling in. I just love the adrenaline you get when bringing in a fish. I fought him, hoping I would be able to land him (and show these yahoos how it is done) and I got him! He was a great looking tiger trout.&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 97px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 130px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343895446978892594" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SilUmIoBEzI/AAAAAAAABe4/H8BxXAYLk0k/s320/tiger+trout.jpg" /&gt; A few minutes later and in about the same spot it happened again! SLAM! Another bite and another fight. I caught 2 fish and then the weather started to turn cold and rainy so we called it a day. That night was a rough one. Gabriel was sick and cried most of the night. When morning finally came, we decided to try our luck up at Fish Lake. (One of my alltime favorite places in the world, it also happens to be where Jared proposed to me:)) As we arrived at the lake I got Gabriel ready to go out on the water. (We had borrowed a life vest for him from a cousin) &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 97px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 130px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343895452788011154" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SilUmeRBMJI/AAAAAAAABfA/Y61aNl1o9Fw/s320/cricketfishlake.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 97px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 130px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343895454301378386" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SilUmj51V1I/AAAAAAAABfQ/1TeATW9AopA/s320/daddyand+cricket.jpg" /&gt;Away we went. Not too long into our boat ride I once again let out my line and hoped for the best. Well how excited do you think I was when......SLAM! Once again I had a fish on my line! I pulled him on in and he turned out to be the prettiest rainbow trout I have ever seen.&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 130px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 97px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343895583417266946" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SilUuE5dcwI/AAAAAAAABfY/badFTn9B3O4/s320/rainbowtrout.jpg" /&gt; The pink stripe down him was so vibrant and he was so shiny and beautiful! After that we started having good luck all around. Chelsey caught 2 rainbows, Devon caught one, and I caught another. We had a great day and saw eagles flying overhead and a deer at the waters edge getting a drink. What a beautiful trip.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8533483440387375882-9131110531740237757?l=rachy-singleton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/feeds/9131110531740237757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8533483440387375882&amp;postID=9131110531740237757' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/9131110531740237757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/9131110531740237757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/2009/06/fishin-down-south.html' title='Fishin&apos; &quot;Down South&quot;'/><author><name>Rachi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07239682240909277938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1Yl4Lsc82I/AAAAAAAAA1c/OaxcedekyEM/S220/Rachi-025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SilUmdxiNWI/AAAAAAAABfI/tlWxfcnY5aE/s72-c/fighting+trout.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533483440387375882.post-7862382105468611586</id><published>2009-04-05T17:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T15:15:09.974-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Back to work</title><content type='html'>So I am back to work after 3 months of maternity leave. I have to say the time off was really nice, but at the same time coming back is kind of fun. I get to see my awesome friends and it is kind of a nice break sometimes to be away from a crying baby. I adore him more than I can even say, but sometimes the relative quiet of work (even at the airport) is nice. Does that make me a horrible person, or a bad mom? I hope not, but maybe it does. Although I really wasn't happy about the welcome back to work news I recieved that potentially a couple hundred of my friends and coworkers are going to lose their jobs. Delta is forcing us to furlough a bunch of people and I am really bummed out about it. In addition to this news I was informed that Delta decided to up our yearly fee from 50 bucks to 200 bucks! Now I know you are probably all thinking "how spoiled is this girl that she is upset at paying 200 dollars to fly free all year?", but 200 bucks is a lot of money when both you and your husband have been out of work for 3 months! There are days like today ,though where I really just want to be home with my little guy, and Jared, but alas, here I sit at work...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8533483440387375882-7862382105468611586?l=rachy-singleton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/feeds/7862382105468611586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8533483440387375882&amp;postID=7862382105468611586' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/7862382105468611586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/7862382105468611586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/2009/04/back-to-work.html' title='Back to work'/><author><name>Rachi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07239682240909277938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1Yl4Lsc82I/AAAAAAAAA1c/OaxcedekyEM/S220/Rachi-025.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533483440387375882.post-2587504906580468231</id><published>2009-04-03T08:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-03T08:47:01.466-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Being a mommy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, three and a half months have flown by since Gabriel came! I love being a mommy, but it is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. :) Gabriel keeps me going all day and most of the night so my old friend -sleep, is elusive. Poor little guy has colic and crys A LOT! But we are doing better recently, when he finally settles down and takes good naps. I can't believe how much he changes everyday, and how much bigger he is, versus when he was born. He now weighs a whopping 14 pounds! He definately loves to eat, I think it may be the only thing he really feels is worthy of his attention. He is beginning to play more and coo a lot. TV grabs his attention quickly and I try not to let him watch a lot of it. I don't want him to be a couch potato afterall. I am hoping he will start to sleep through the night soon, so far his personal best is only about four hours, but maybe soon I will get a full night's sleep. &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320491203715032050" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SdYuj4QGY_I/AAAAAAAABec/Zu3l1b8alic/s320/Gabriel+(630).jpg" /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320491198818707074" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SdYujmAuZoI/AAAAAAAABeU/xrchvA6JhuA/s320/Gabriel+(606).jpg" /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320491196541103202" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SdYujdhs7GI/AAAAAAAABeM/GMxEU7nt4P0/s320/Gabriel+(476).jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8533483440387375882-2587504906580468231?l=rachy-singleton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/feeds/2587504906580468231/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8533483440387375882&amp;postID=2587504906580468231' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/2587504906580468231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/2587504906580468231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/2009/04/being-mommy.html' title='Being a mommy'/><author><name>Rachi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07239682240909277938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1Yl4Lsc82I/AAAAAAAAA1c/OaxcedekyEM/S220/Rachi-025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SdYuj4QGY_I/AAAAAAAABec/Zu3l1b8alic/s72-c/Gabriel+(630).jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533483440387375882.post-4783906995842246403</id><published>2009-01-30T13:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-30T14:12:58.598-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gabriel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; He is finally here! As most of you know I have been waiting for this for a long time, a lot longer than 9 months. I have been wanting a baby for my whole life and we tried a long time to get him. Gabriel was born at LDS hospital on December 16 2008 at 7:45 am. He had to come by C-section because he refused to drop into the birth canal, (can you blame him?) I was in labor 20 hours and was 5 days late ughhhh. But it was all worth it when I saw my little guy. Jared just adores him. What a great daddy he is. Well now for what I know you all really want, no more blabbing from me, just pictures!&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297210378849195154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SYN4xhPRlJI/AAAAAAAABdk/QSd3Qpq8DOg/s320/Baby!!!+018.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;He was a screamer right from the start.

When I was six months old, my father was infected with a bacteria that attacked his heart. He was a doctor and was infected by a patient. He very nearly didn't survive. I obviously don't remember this scary time, but have heard about it from my siblings my whole life. I do remember however growing up with him in and out of the hospital. I also remember my mother's hard work to raise her five children. When my father fell ill she had to return to school to provide for us. I still can't understand how one woman was able to juggle school, work, a sick husband, and five children. Throughout all of these struggles, they both had our best interests in mind, and dealt with each difficulty without complaint. I couldn't have asked for better examples. My father, although a physically weak man throughout the remainder of his life, was the smartest, most spirtually strong man I have ever known. My father studied and improved his mind until the day he passed away, when I was nearly 20 years old. I am so impressed that with every excuse to sit back and feel sorry for himself, he never did. If I ever needed help with homework or any project I had a built in tutor who just happened to be a medical doctor! My mother, became an English teacher and worked so hard for us kids. I remember her being exhausted from working so hard, but still cooking dinner for our family every night. Both of my parents were spiritual giants. They set such a good example for me by going to church every week, and magnifying every calling they were ever given. My mother, who was always busy made time every Saturday to go to the temple. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was to have such splendid parents but I have to sign off for now. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257447319588746162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/SPY0e2Vqs7I/AAAAAAAAA-w/m98k4Pm9760/s320/wed3.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mommy and me on my wedding day.

I can't really believe it.  Looking back on 2007 is pretty surreal.  I have been on a bunch of trips, some I was on the ball enough to blog about others I was lazy and didn't.  This post is going to fill in some of the gaps.  January, I put on a great fondue themed murder mystery dinner party for my siblings and their spouses.  I also went to LA to see the Ellen show.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.geocities.com/webmaster_ea/ellen_logo-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.geocities.com/webmaster_ea/ellen_logo-sm.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  My friend Sar-i and I had so much fun, Ellen is great, so crazy!  February was a hard month because I lost my grandmother.  She was an incredible women who I respect and love more than I can put into words.  March, Jared and I went on our cruise!  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_eRvefAtI/AAAAAAAAA4w/gwtEbY4T78E/s1600-h/cruise+005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_eRvefAtI/AAAAAAAAA4w/gwtEbY4T78E/s320/cruise+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152080895118607058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which I did blog about, so before I go on and on, read the post about it!! I also went on a scrapbooking retreat with a bunch of friends.  We went to an awesome cabin up in Midway and spent the night eating great food, watching movies, and working hard on our books.  It was so fun. I got a lot done too.  April consisted of my three year anniversary at Skywest, and a girls weekend to Saint George with my mom and sisters.  We went shopping and to the temple down there.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/stgeorge/gallery/images/saint_george_lds_mormon_temple2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/stgeorge/gallery/images/saint_george_lds_mormon_temple2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I also got to see my best friend from high school and growing up, Jessica, who I adore and hadn't seen in ages.   In May my friends Sarah and Annika went to a lecture with the Mythbusters, Adam and Jaime from the T.V. show.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_h1_efAvI/AAAAAAAAA5A/zS3kCTC4g9U/s1600-h/mythbusters.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_h1_efAvI/AAAAAAAAA5A/zS3kCTC4g9U/s320/mythbusters.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152084816423748338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so funny and very interesting.  Jared and I went to Canada with one of his friends, who owns an island in the Great Lakes.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_kSPefAxI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/oleL6PeAlKw/s1600-h/Jared%27s+Pics+221.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_kSPefAxI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/oleL6PeAlKw/s320/Jared%27s+Pics+221.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152087500778308370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It was a lot of fun, but so so so so COLD! The island was beautiful, and the cabin was fun, although there was no power or running water!  Okay, thats not completely true we made running water using a barrel and lake water, but still!  May was also my 26th birthday, and I threw a BBQ in my backyard for all of my friends.  June, Sarah and I went to see So You Think You Can Dance in LA.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dance-shop.no/sitefiles/33/bilder/Diverse/soyouthinkyoucandance.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.dance-shop.no/sitefiles/33/bilder/Diverse/soyouthinkyoucandance.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We both adore the show and were so excited when I won tickets, we dropped everything to go.  We got to see our favorite from last season, Benji, dance. It was wonderful.  We stood in line most of the afternoon and just happened to be in line right behind Benji's dad!! I got a migraine worse than I have ever had before, and I am not hyperbolizing!! So Sarah had to drive back to the hotel, and I passed out.  The next day we went to Las Vegas to spend a couple of days before we went home.  It was a blast.  We saw the musical Mamma Mia!!! SO FUNNY!  You really need to watch it.  Well that's June.  July, I went to Jared's  mom's family reunion.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_n_fefAzI/AAAAAAAAA5g/7m9lbkvRAD8/s1600-h/Heatherfamtrip+105.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_n_fefAzI/AAAAAAAAA5g/7m9lbkvRAD8/s320/Heatherfamtrip+105.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152091576702272306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It was at the property Down South, in good old Wayne County Utah.  The reunion is always such a great time.  We fish and camp. We eat a lot and play too.  Jared's brother and his wife were there from Japan with their little one Molly.  It was good to see them all again.  Also in July was girls camp, which I will let you read about on it's own post.  August was Jared's birthday, the big 33! I didn't do much other than work that month.  September,  was  Sar-i's  birthday,  she turned 27!!   For her birthday we  went  to  Disneyland.  We also went to Universal Studios, and the Body World exhibit in San Diego.  On her birthday, we were deciding what to do and her dad called, he just happened to be in Burbank on business and wanted to take us to dinner.  So we went to the Queen Mary in the afternoon, and met him in Malibu for the most incredible dinner, I for one, have ever experienced.  We went to this place right on the beach, with amazing seafood.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.redondo.com/business/charths1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.redondo.com/business/charths1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  I can honestly say I will never forget that view!!  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_pafefA0I/AAAAAAAAA5o/A8veXKo7ttc/s1600-h/charths2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_pafefA0I/AAAAAAAAA5o/A8veXKo7ttc/s320/charths2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152093140070368066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It was a very busy and fun trip. Good work Sarah!! October, obviously Japan.  Which you can also read about on it's own post!  November, I went to San Francisco with Sarah and Valerie.  We went to Alcatraz.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_kyfefAyI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/4D4nz5liT4U/s1600-h/Jared%27s+Pics+046.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_kyfefAyI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/4D4nz5liT4U/s320/Jared%27s+Pics+046.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152088054829089570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  My first time there, it was very neat.  We also went shopping in Union Square.  I got Jared's Christmas present, a brand new top of the line digital camera and underwater housing for it, so he can take it diving.  We had a fabulous time, except Sarah's snoring!! Hee hee.  She knows I love her! December was Christmas prep time.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_eR_efAuI/AAAAAAAAA44/Zcpkze6f2DQ/s1600-h/Jared%27s+Shed+026.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_eR_efAuI/AAAAAAAAA44/Zcpkze6f2DQ/s320/Jared%27s+Shed+026.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152080899413574370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  What a crazy busy time of year.  As much fun as Christmas is it is hard to enjoy sometimes with the hectic pace you have to maintain.  Our Christmas was wonderful. We spent Christmas Eve at my sister Heather's house and got to watch the kids open their gifts, Christmas morning.  I then had to work for about four hours.  Then Jared and I had our Christmas.  It was all around a really good day.  Jared got me a diamond ring!!! I also got a PS2 from Santa with a karaoke game I have been wanting.  I got Zelda for my DS it has been so fun to play.  Jared loved his camera, and has hardly put it down since.  Well, thats my year in review.  Hope yours was just as event filled and great.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8533483440387375882-6367614745231647283?l=rachy-singleton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/feeds/6367614745231647283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8533483440387375882&amp;postID=6367614745231647283' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/6367614745231647283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/6367614745231647283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/2008/01/2008.html' title='2008!'/><author><name>Rachi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07239682240909277938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1Yl4Lsc82I/AAAAAAAAA1c/OaxcedekyEM/S220/Rachi-025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R3_eRvefAtI/AAAAAAAAA4w/gwtEbY4T78E/s72-c/cruise+005.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533483440387375882.post-5507814859222925350</id><published>2007-12-05T17:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-05T10:41:18.842-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Baby Hungry</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Well this is a new experience for me because for so long I was convinced I would never be such.

Having 15 neices and nephews on my side, and 2 on Jared's doesn't help.  I love being around them and playing with them.

It is becoming a bit of a tradition, and I can't say I am disappointed.  First off, I am excited to say that I got business class both ways, YIPEE!!!  Unfortunately, both ways Jared got put in coach.  Now, before you get all crazy like, telling me what a jerk I am for not trading him, he refused to trade, and ended up with three seats to himself both ways.  So don't feel too sorry for him.  When we arrived in Okinawa after about 30 hours of traveling, Jared's brother picked us up and took us to their new apartment, which, by the way, is pretty incredible.  We were so exhausted, we chatted for a bit and caught up, but then went to bed and slept great.  By the next morning I was feeling alright, and awoke to greet our niece Molly.  Whose 1st birthday was in 2 days!!!&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1YrHrsc83I/AAAAAAAAA1k/ibyR0egMU9A/s1600-h/japan+gardens+oct+16th+192.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1YrHrsc83I/AAAAAAAAA1k/ibyR0egMU9A/s320/japan+gardens+oct+16th+192.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140343435678249842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't she adorable?! We then had a lot to do for and I quote "The biggest birthday party the island has ever seen!" That was the title given to Molly's 1st birthday party by my sister in law Michelle.  We had to clean, decorate, and Todd or James as he's known by his friends (Jared's brother) baked a couple hundred cupcakes, about 5 pans of cornbread, and made five or so pots of chili!!! Then we had to decorate the cupcakes, it was lots of fun but by then I was exhausted and jet lagged so I went to bed. The next day was the bash. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1becLsc84I/AAAAAAAAA1s/X4kDEwjnCj8/s1600-h/japan+gardens+oct+17th+006.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1becLsc84I/AAAAAAAAA1s/X4kDEwjnCj8/s320/japan+gardens+oct+17th+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140540600446940034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molly was a ballerina, Todd a martial arts expert, and Michelle was a gypsy.  I went as an Indian and Jared wore a hat for a little while. Ha ha. After the party, we could relax and start seeing the sights.  We went to an old movie town and saw some amazing glass blowers, and some really cool traditional buildings, and learned about local crafts etc.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1bgrrsc86I/AAAAAAAAA18/rJjHstiFtXo/s1600-h/japan+gardens+oct+16th+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1bgrrsc86I/AAAAAAAAA18/rJjHstiFtXo/s320/japan+gardens+oct+16th+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140543065758167970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a lot of fun, this next picture is of me doing my best Bruce Lee  impression, at the martial arts work out area.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1bgrLsc85I/AAAAAAAAA10/XtqaP69CB9Q/s1600-h/japan+gardens+oct+16th+013.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1bgrLsc85I/AAAAAAAAA10/XtqaP69CB9Q/s320/japan+gardens+oct+16th+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140543057168233362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another day we went to a botanical garden, it was really beautiful.

I went as an adult leader, but ended up probably acting more like one of the girls. These girls are some of the best there are. We canoed, hiked, fished, and just had a great time. The first day, we got our camp set up and I took the girls down to the lake. They got to go canoeing and on the zip line. I went fishing for a while but only caught moss. :( It was so sad!!!

Things like, knot tying, orienteering, wildlife, and emergency shelters. We took a couple of night hikes and got really lucky when we saw a few deer bedded down. One day I was working on cleaning up one of the tents from a rain storm, when a moose walked through our camp, only about 5-10 feet from me!!! It was amazing, if a bit scary!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say camp was incredible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089867361878530818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RqLXZfqf2wI/AAAAAAAAA0A/HoLXCI3b5Wg/s320/camp+043.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8533483440387375882-7926683681252437633?l=rachy-singleton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/feeds/7926683681252437633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8533483440387375882&amp;postID=7926683681252437633' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/7926683681252437633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/7926683681252437633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/2007/07/girls-camp.html' title='Girls Camp'/><author><name>Rachi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07239682240909277938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1Yl4Lsc82I/AAAAAAAAA1c/OaxcedekyEM/S220/Rachi-025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RqLWu_qf2uI/AAAAAAAAAzw/c7HTOZCoMmA/s72-c/camp+040.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533483440387375882.post-5124930534608882779</id><published>2007-07-17T08:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-17T08:11:25.162-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Trisha</title><content type='html'>Well I was at work today and saw my friend Trisha.

I didn't ever go until I met Jared. He took me for the first time on my 21st birthday!!! I had a ball but didn't catch anything. I was so sad, so Jared took me to the fish hatchery. We had to sneak in and were able to "catch" fish with our bare hands in the troughs they hold them in in the hatchery, not exactly legal, but hey, it was my birthday and I wanted to catch a fish!!! &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiaeHVigI/AAAAAAAAAyo/ryleBIB5l6I/s1600-h/bigfish.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072005812249266690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiaeHVigI/AAAAAAAAAyo/ryleBIB5l6I/s320/bigfish.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Since then, we have gone fishing many, many times. In fact the picture above is of me with the fish I caught the day after we got engaged!! There is a place in Wayne County, Utah where we like to go called, UM river. My husband wont let me be more specific in case any of you want to try to invade our fishing grounds. We also like to go to Fish Lake nearby. Last summer my sister's family wanted to learn to fish, so we took a trip down to Fish Lake. We had the best time!!&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiaeHVihI/AAAAAAAAAyw/i4VeyD1NOAo/s1600-h/us.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072005812249266706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiaeHVihI/AAAAAAAAAyw/i4VeyD1NOAo/s320/us.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is Katie, my niece, with the fish she caught, not too shabby eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiauHViiI/AAAAAAAAAy4/JfAqxVoFewU/s1600-h/katie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072005816544234018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiauHViiI/AAAAAAAAAy4/JfAqxVoFewU/s320/katie.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; My sister, Heather and her family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiauHVijI/AAAAAAAAAzA/err_xXwCTCg/s1600-h/family.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072005816544234034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiauHVijI/AAAAAAAAAzA/err_xXwCTCg/s320/family.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiauHVikI/AAAAAAAAAzI/2jiY8bRc-7I/s1600-h/heather+and+paul.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072005816544234050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RmNiauHVikI/AAAAAAAAAzI/2jiY8bRc-7I/s320/heather+and+paul.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; We also took my other sister, Mary and her family later that summer, it was so fun!!

Her name is Sarah, I call her Sar-i. About 6 years ago I was daing this guy named Paul. He had some amazing friends who took me in and made me feel like I was part of the group. One of those friends was Sar-i, who at first didn't even like me!!! But I guess I grew on her! Even after Paul and I broke up and I got together with my now husband Jared they still remained my friends. Sarah and I became really close. She made me feel comfortable, and worthwhile. I have never met anyone who is more loving and thoughtful, than she is.  She was my maid of honor at my wedding, and will be my friend forever. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070832938285107698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/Rl83sOHVifI/AAAAAAAAAyY/Wij9sVgOfVM/s320/Rachi-013.jpg" border="0" /&gt; 2 years ago, my husband Jared, was in a horrible car accident in Phoenix, which is hundreds of miles away from my home in Salt Lake City. I had to fly down and be with him, and stay for about 2 months while he was in the hospital. While we were away, Sarah took care of our Dora, and our house. She packed up a bunch of stuff for me, since when I left I had two shirts and a pair of pants with me. The most important thing she did was be there for me. She gave me the support I needed and a shoulder to cry on. I needed her more than I can ever say, and she was there for me. Sarah has the ability to make everyone around her feel good about them self. She can talk to anyone, and will go out of her way to make you happy. Sar-i is one of those people that you are so protective of who she dates because she deserves the absolute best. I wont let anyone less than that take her away from me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8533483440387375882-1756184080247202118?l=rachy-singleton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/feeds/1756184080247202118/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8533483440387375882&amp;postID=1756184080247202118' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/1756184080247202118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8533483440387375882/posts/default/1756184080247202118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachy-singleton.blogspot.com/2007/05/sar-i.html' title='Sar-i'/><author><name>Rachi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07239682240909277938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/R1Yl4Lsc82I/AAAAAAAAA1c/OaxcedekyEM/S220/Rachi-025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/Rl83sOHVifI/AAAAAAAAAyY/Wij9sVgOfVM/s72-c/Rachi-013.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533483440387375882.post-1889088747484020648</id><published>2007-05-05T11:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-08T23:32:40.782-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cruising</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;This past march, Jared and I wanted to do something special to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to go on a cruise. We left out of Houston for a seven night cruise on the Norwegian Dream. When we first saw our ship, I couldn't believe how big and beautiful it was&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062441292659115010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RkFniKE3RAI/AAAAAAAAAYI/GOxPWZGQgAk/s320/31.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;I was a little tiny bit nervous, because I had never been on a ship even close to that size! We boarded and found our room. When we walked in it took me a minute to realize that, although we had only paid for an inside cabin, we had been assigned an outside cabin, with a big window!! How lucky are we?! After unpacking, we wandered around the ship for a while and got some lunch.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062442783012766786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RkFo46E3REI/AAAAAAAAAYo/XmqamQFhW-4/s320/11.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;I could not believe how much food there was. One day when I walked back into the room after having been out and about, there was a surprise for me, a bunny made of towels. Isn't it cute?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062442825962439762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RkFo7aE3RFI/AAAAAAAAAYw/IEfDMHkBkLw/s320/13.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;The first day we were at sea, and Jared got seasick!! I sat by the pool and read a book and got tan. The next day we were in port, in Progresso Mexico, where we went to see the ruins at Chichen Itza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062442765832897554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RkFo36E3RBI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/J-wqlgxOAo4/s320/1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;It was incredible. It was also amusing because everywhere you looked there was someone selling something, and man were they intent!! The following day we were going to be doing a couple of boat dives in Cozumel. I was super excited. Then, we awoke, and the wind was blowing like crazy. So unfortunately our dive was cancelled. Since we couldn't dive, we wandered around Cozumel for the day. To cheer me up, (and because it was our anniversary weekend) Jared bought me a beautiful Tanzanite ring and bracelet. It's absolutely incredible. The following day we were in Belize, and we went snorkleing and swam with sting rays!!! There were so many of them. We even got to feed them!! They are very slimey feeling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062442778717799474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RkFo4qE3RDI/AAAAAAAAAYg/JdYsi1GoQgo/s320/21.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;The last few days were at sea, so I was able to read, relax, and get tan.The final night we had a chocoholics buffet.

When we arrived in Tokyo, to connect to Okinawa, we saw our aircraft, a Boeing 747 painted with Pokemon characters. I laughed so hard, and knew right then and there that I would have a great trip. Which we did. When we finally arrived in Okinawa, after about 30 hours of taveling, I was so exhausted I could barely sit up straight!!! I slept for hours, and woke up early the next morning to one of the most beautiful sites I had ever seen, the beach view from my brother in law's house. Isn't it incredible? &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061134471549892754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RjzC_KE3OJI/AAAAAAAAAA0/-r_voWpZldE/s320/japan+005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;We spent the first few days helping out, because 2 days after we arrived our first neice on Jared's side of the familly was born!! What perfect timing!! She is a beautiful little girl. While we were at the apartment one day, Jared came upon a little abandoned puppy, who I named Mia, because she was missing in action!!! This is our little Mia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/Rjy_p6E3OII/AAAAAAAAAAs/cwH46dgOwv0/s1600-h/Baby+Bean+Singleton+192.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061130807942789250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/Rjy_p6E3OII/AAAAAAAAAAs/cwH46dgOwv0/s320/Baby+Bean+Singleton+192.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It was really sad when we had to say goodbye to her. A few days later we got an opportunity to go SCUBA diving on the Keramas. (an island chain south of Okinawa) We went on two boat dives. I saw a sea snake, a bunch of awsome fish, and best of all, a sea-turtle!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061137950473402530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RjzGJqE3OKI/AAAAAAAAAA8/an7CCvZs-Oc/s320/Baby+Bean+Singleton+199.jpg" border="0" /&gt;We also went on a WWII tour of the island, it was really interesting but also sad. The poor Okinawan people suffered greatly under the Imperial Japanese rule. We got to go in the underground tunnel system used by the Japanese Navy. We also saw these incredible caves that the citizens hid in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061139870323783874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RjzH5aE3OMI/AAAAAAAAABM/m56Jp5wmk_g/s320/Baby+Bean+Singleton+116.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061139866028816562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wJtxHefKc5k/RjzH5KE3OLI/AAAAAAAAABE/C1iYmAXSVIo/s320/Baby+Bean+Singleton+064.jpg" border="0" /&gt;  &lt;div&gt;I don't think I have ever had such an incredible trip.
