rounding out 2008

Hello!
Well it seems as if an awful lot has happend since my last Blog.

first off I had my water baptism on December 21 2008. I feel truly changed. It was really wonderful. Afterwards we went to the NLC office to pray together and the man who was in the tank with me ( i feel awful for forgetting his name) gave me a verse that he said the lord spoke to him. AS he read i felt like crying and smiling. it was ME. It was good moment to round out 2008 . well almost round it out.

A few days later i took a plane and flew back home to Montana. I really felt like i needed to go home and i did. It was a good thing. It made me realize that all though being in california is not my faovirte place its where i should be and i really feel like that is true. i dont miss home as much. just my friends .. a little cause i know ill be getting some visits real soon.

The whole trip was pretty good. Lots of good times with friends and family. My dad and i are still akward and arent over some past issues. i have forgiven , but am still hurt. it takes time to heal a wound. I wont forget what happend ever. :( I still love my dad he's just not my daddy anymore. He wont be the person i can talk to like i use to. and i pray that one of these days we can actually talk about what went down . other than that it was pretty swell. My friends are all good. i did get caught in a lie ( i dont usually lie.) It was over who i voted for in the 08 election. Im sorry but my view on politics is something ill always keep in the down low. I dont understand it enough. I dont feel it defines me. ANYWHO> its all good.

As for the new year. I spent the eve with the p-gales .we were at J and A they are a cute couple and i have nothing the matter with them. OH an edthere kids are just darling. So cute. Buzz and Binky. i just lov ebuzz he is my new favorite baby. haha. and after carmal apples ( like never before ) and homemade pizza( jared style) q and i hit the road to billing. Lots of red bull and caffeine.

Which all that energy booster didnt help me. I kept dowsing off leaving carrie to drive in silence ( well the radio was on.) But we got to billings okay. Slept for three hours than drove to city brew got some coffee and drove to the airport. one last laugh and a happy ( i know ill see her soon) goodbye i was off. And thats how i began the new year. i came home. i came to the place i should be . The place i am begining to love.

So a joyus new year is ahead of me. what it brings i will not know. could brign love friendship and good school time!

Peace love and straight up harmony

Rach! below is me right before a life changing moment!
