About Me

Hey everyone!!! My name is Rachel, but I go mostly by Rachy. First and foremost I am a firm believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my personal savior and I strive to serve him in my daily walk though life. No it's not easy and in fact it's VERY trying sometimes, but I just have to keep trying and NEVER give up. I am not perfect nor do I proclaim to be. I have done my fair share of things that have put me in situations I never want to be in again, and I pay the price for some of them each and every day. I am not one to judge as I do not have the authority to do so. Only my Father God can do that. I am still learning many things, so please don't expect everything I do to be right...I am still growing and trying to learn. I am 27 years old and I have the most adorable 7yr. old little boy who is my entire world!!! You will see him in a lot of pics on this page. I am all about my family. I am happily married to a solider in the United States Army and he is currently stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana. I love hanging out with my older sisters...and my younger brother and sister. My family means a great deal to me. I live up in C-Town, Ohio...surrounded by family & friends!!! And I absolutely LOVE it here. I am currently a full time student at YSU, but taking the summer off to spend with my son. I will be headed back in the fall with a full schedule of classes. I love every minute of my time there. My son, Tyler is in 1st Grade!! I can't believe he's already that big!!! Time just flys by. Anything else you wanna know about me...just ask and I'll tell ya...lol...I'm an easy going person...who loves to have a lot of friends and loves having a good time. Hope to hear from ya soon!!!

My Interests

I enjoy doing many things...I love to sing, and I'm part of the Praise Team at my church, I enjoy scrapbooking, writing (poetry/song lyrics), talking to my friends, TEXTING...lol, playing/watching sports, spending time with my family and friends, biking, hiking, listening to music, and so much more...there probably isn't much I don't enjoy doing at some point...and I'm pretty flexible in what I do.

I'd like to meet:

I would really like to meet RASCAL FLATTS!!!! They are one of my FAVORITE Groups!!! I have all their albums and love all their songs!!! They have some amazing songs and are great guys!!!

Music:



I TOTALLY & COMPLETELY LOVE RASCAL FLATTS!!!!!! But truly.....I am one of those that like ALL types of music...I have no "set" favorites 'cause I have a lot of "favorite" songs and they are all from different styles or generes, therefore, I can't just pick one favorite...so a specific group or style...just ask!!!!!!!

Movies:


You know the Bible 88%!

Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses - you know it all! You are fantastic!

Some of my favorite movies include, RV, Employee of the Month, The Break-Up, Raise Your Voice, High School Musical, Grease 1&2, The Phantom, A Walk To Remember...and honestly, the list continues on and on. There are too many to list...so just ask me...lol...Thanks!!

Television:

I actually don't watch much tv...but when I do it's usually on CMT or GAC watching music videos...but some shows I do like....American Idol, Unsolved Mysteries (if someone is with me...lol), Cops, Cartoons, Full House, and really I can't think of much more.

Books:

Well I don't read a lot...but first and foremost my favorite book and my lifeline is THE BIBLE!!!! I enjoy reading Chicken Soup and Stories From The Heart (those type of books), I like Romance books, and comedys...but just really depends on my mood.

Heroes:

The heros in my life would definately be my Grandma & Grandpa. They were two wonderful people that I want to model my life by. They showed me growing up what it was like to be a Christian. They were always there when I needed. Most girls are daddys girl, but not this girl. I was and always will be "Grandpas Girl". I wouldn't change that for anything in a million years. If I was down, I knew just who to call. I used to love going to their house and spending time with them 'cause it was always the type of lifestyle I wanted. They ran a house of Love and Happiness. They were amazing people. And very strong in their faith with God as well. I miss them each and every day I live. My grandpa passed away in Jan. of 1998 and my grandma passed away June of 2002. So I will tell you the 17 almost 18 years I had with my grandpa were amazing and the 22 years I had with my grandma were also amazing. (This is a clip from a song I just altered the lyrics a bit to relate to this...) "There's holes in the floor of Heaven, and their tears are pouring down. That's how I know they're watching, wishing they could be here now. And sometimes When I'm lonely, I just remember they can see. Yes, there's holes in the floor of heaven and they're watching over you and me." Although I miss them so much...I know they both would look at me and say this......"I'm Right Here In Your Heart"When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see. if the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say, I know how much you love me, As much as I Love You. And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand. That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, All those things I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, that that could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of Worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow. I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you. Today your life on Earth is past, But here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, and since each day's the same day, There's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, So trusting and so true, Though there were times you did some things, you know you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven, And now at last you're free, So won't you take my hand and share My life with Me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your Heart. That poem brings a tear yet a smile to my face, because I know that they are up in Heaven and that they are awaiting my arival too. I know that I want to see them again someday and that I will do all I can to make that happen.Here's A Pic of them taken several years before they passed...
Here's A Family Pic From around the year 1990-1992 somewhere in there...
