Forward Motion

OK So I love reading other people's blogs, I really do. I look on everyone's facebook profiles to see if they have a blog I can read, nerdy, yes? It's because I like to know what's going on in people's lives, and I love hearing it through reading. I'm a visual person and when I read what you have to say I can see it in my head. I enjoy hearing about your kids, your little adventures, and those things that make life great. The blogs I read are always so positive and they make me feel so positive and excited for life. So I figured I'd start writing in my blog, not just the professional blog, but about my life. I've attempted this several times, but honestly, I find myself boring so I haven't kept it up. And I'm a freaking awesome person, so you will find my blog interesting. OK maybe just me, but I want to be a professional writer, and what better way to experiment with writing than in your own blog?
So here's what's up with Rachel:
1. I love Joey! I AM that girl who is obsessed with her boyfriend and I have no apologies for it. If you knew Joey you'd love him just as much, too, but back off, he's mine!
2. I'm trying to start my freelance writing career. This is probably one of the absolute most difficult things I've ever tried to do.
3. I work at Northwestern Mutual and I'm a secretary. It's a great job don't get me wrong, but I find it incredibly boring. I don't like to be doing the same thing every day, I like variety and spice in life. You can't find that in filing, organizing, or even recruiting (which I do get to do, that part's really fun).
4. I'm getting ready to move to California. I'm way way way excited to do it. I'm going to go crazy and make the move whether I find a job there before I move or not. I'm going to live close to my sweetheart and end the winter off in the sunshine. Plus, this is where I'm getting married, I'll get to plan it there (hooray for wedding prep blog entries!).
5. I'm dirt poor and in being so I have learned some really creative (and fun!) ways to make money. It's becoming an obsessive hobby that I love.
6. I'm addicted to the TV show "Once Upon a Time," I fell in love the first season. It was the villain, I just love a villain I can hate! I was so mad this season when the writer made her more relateable, but then they brought in a more viscious, hateable villain so I am again satisfied.
7. I majored in history at BYU-Idaho and I LOVED it! Don't ask me if I'm going to teach, though, I tire of the judging eyes when I say instead of teaching I'm going to be a poor, starving freelance writer.
8. I'm passionate about traveling the world, and get more passionate with every passing day. By the end of this year I will leave this continent for the first time!
So now that you're up to date I'll try to write weekly and update you on my move to California and my passionate love affair (Mormon style :P) with the most wonderful man in the world (that's right world, he's mine!).
