About Me

Hi! Im Rachel.some people call me bob (roberts..bob..yea..) or bob the indian because even though i am swedish and norweigan i am a permanent brown year round..i think the technical term may be ethnically challenged!!regardless..dont listen to the lies..im not indian or native american or hispanic!! and i will not tomahawk you or tell you which one of my parents taught me spanish (NEITHER..they are northern uff da speaking lutherans!)..I like children..i love popsicles (they are the perfect summer food..are they food?..hmm) scratch that i love popsicles all the time!.pretty much if you hand me a popsicle you will see my face light up like a little kids...no joke!.I talk with my eyes..i have eye freckles...I love it when it rains, it reminds me of my mom.I pray for my husband at 11:11 and 3:33 and yea..you get the point..I want a tattoo in memory of my mommy it will say eleveneleven ..just like that..cause thats the date that she lost her battle with cancer.. I tend to be indecisive one moment and very decisive the next. I love Jesus!!..oh goodness..ALOT! I love worship!!My favorite sound is the sound of little kids praying..if they speak spanish its even better!!portuguese...sheesh..i don't even know what to do with myself when people speak that BEAUTIFUL language!!i want to be able to speak it ..someday...someday. Okay so anything said in spanish or portuguese is wonderful..well..almost anything.....I went to OWU for a while...I did YWAM schools at one time..(gosh i miss YWAM!!).I live in Oklahoma and am the 2 year old teacher at Kids First. trying to get back to school to study Youth Counseling..i want to help young girls discover their real True Love..it breaks my heart to see them searching in all the wrong places!:(.hmm what else?..OH!! I have a list of about 50 things i want to do before I die...but the list grows..among them is the desire to work with the street children in Brazil...oh ..i have a sister and a dad.and an adopted mom and a step dad and 2 step brothers and a step mom and a mom.. I love them all more than anything!My mom died when i was 11. She was an amazingly strong and beautiful woman..if you heard my life story you would probably say it sounded like a movie..or i sounded like a liar..its been a wild ride!.hmm what else...i love my friends..i am a people person. yea i like my alone time but..gosh i love spending time with people i care about and just laughing about everything and nothing at the same time. I love life and look forward to spending forever worshiping God(yea i know it starts now..but gosh.."thousands" of years just singing HOLY!!..goodness it gives me the chills!) I love singing and don't know what i am doing when i do it..it just happens..i love not thinking about it. okay well thats me..there is alot more but you just have to wait or maybe talk to me and try to figure me out..if you do in fact figure me out and understand me please give me some tips or pointers..cause i dont understand myself at all!..oh yea..one last thing...in caps to catch your attention..IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO JUST BOOST YOUR NUMBERS OR SELL YOUR CRAPPY STUFF OR PUSH THE GIFT CARD THAT WILL NEVER WORK PLEASE MOVE ALONGALSO..IF YOU ARE A BAND AND YOU KNOW I PROBABLY WON'T LIKE YOUR MUSIC (look at my fav music section!!) PLEASE DON'T BOTHER!!:)again really sorry for the rules..but it had to be done.way too much spam going on!!.wow..just read over this whole thing..sorry for the novel..im a dork..
