yeah, it's me

About Me

I'm Chicago born-and-raised and enjoying life as it comes. I'm a meeting planner by calling, but standing in as a financial analyst to pay the bills. Got an event coming up? Let me know. I've got a wonderful wonderful husband, with whom I can't wait to start a family. I'm domestic by nature (love to cook, bake, crochet, make stuff), but love the modern side of life, like web design and video games (yea Prince of Persia!). And don't forget fishing. So there you go.
I got married in October 2006, so I used to be Rachel Gudmundson, but now I'm Rachel Abajian. I guess I'm a bit traditional, when it comes down to it.
