I am ready to make the purchase of the Cruise tickets. It looks like Norwegian line to the Bahama from Miami. March 16th thru the 19th. Let me know if there are any complications.

The Biggest Mormon?
Are possibly four of the 22 contestants on The Biggest Loser Mormon? Last week Andy and I thought that the two cousins (black team) that each have 3 children and one on the way at the age of 28 MUST be Mormon!!! Who has that many kids so young, let alone are married that young? Also, if you look at the pictures from home, their wives just have that "Mormon look" about them. This week one of the Polynesian cousins (blue team) got to call home (hope that doesn't spoil anything) and I am POSITIVE that I saw a Temple in the background of a picture of him and his wife. Look and let me know if it is. Who else has a picture of a pointy spired building in their home ? . . . as far as I know it's only the Mormons. If he's Mormon, his cousin might be Mormon too, right? So, what does everyone else think?

Buttocks
So I was at Penn Station waiting for the Subway and started thinking about when Stefany, Sarah and I watched Adam Sandler on Letterman. I was going to tell that story and than realized what our initials are together.

New Years Resolutions!
so normally i dont even attempt at making any new years resolutions because.... well i never keep them. but this year i decided i would set goals that 1. i could actually achieve 2. would make me a better person and 3. hopefully make me hotter! well here they are.... enjoy!
1. Drink More Caffeine- i chose this one for many many reasons. lets face it caffeine makes me a happier less tired person. i mean so what if my teeth turn a darker shade of yellow each day... why do you think they invented crest white strips? at least its Diet! plus anything unnatural that i can keep pouring down my throat i applaud! i tried for 3 days this year to not drink caffeine... so not fun. and i just ended up tired with a constant craving for blow pops.... weird i know.
2. eat less candy- now normally the phrase "sugar free" is a 4 letter word created by Satan ( i'm pretty sure he invented it right after he came up with the idea of a menstrual cycle and stretch marks) but i have decided to cut back this year. i already have an advantage because of my small hands, see when i take a handful of say peanut M&M's (which by the way were like crack to me over Christmas) i only get like 6, where as Cherise gets like 12. Now i just have to teach myself to only take one handful and i think i'll be good!
3.Close my big mouth- i know its hard to believe but in the past my big mouth has gotten me into trouble... which is why this year i am going to try to make less comments that require the people around me to make awkward laughter and either quickly look the other way or lift up their eyebrows extremely high. the best thing i can do is feel out my audience, you know see what they can handle and then filter accordingly. and by the way everything i know i learned from my mother.
4. Wish Happy Birthday/ Return Phone Calls- I have been very bad at these two things for quit sometime now and that is why this year is going to be different. its not that i dont want to remember your birthday.... its just that i dont always remember you!. is to much to ask for a countdown from the birthdayee? anything? also i do want to call people back i just forget. i have a lot going on right now. i mean every night i have like 7 or 8 reality shows to watch. and keep up with all the Hollywood drama.... i cant believe Heidi and Spencer didn't actually get married...I hope Jake and Reese dont break up and i wonder how Jon and Kelly are doing? (Travolta and Preston that is). see i have so much on my plate so just be patient with me. oh and by the way if i dont mention it Happy 09 Birthday, and i'm sure i'll be calling you back soon!
5. Don't get a Flat Tire- this may seem like a really easy task for most... but most aren't me! in the past 3 1/2 years i have had 4, that's right 4 flat tires! now i know this isn't normal because i managed to go 21 years without a single flat tire. everyone knows that the first flat tire gave me the special opportunity to pee, i mean urinate, in a cup in my car and drive 30 miles squished between 2 overweight elderly tow truck men Yessss! and its been all down hill from there. one time i had a nail and screw in 1 tire. i mean unless they've been doing some construction at the Nordstrom parking lot i'm not really the kind of girl that drives around construction sites. and dont think i dont check the preasure... i do. i stick that thing that looks like a pen that shoots out that stick that has numbers on it on my tire a lot and each time things seem to be ok. anyway thank goodness i know how to change tire because now if you do see me on the side of the road i'll be getting out my jack and singing "Independent Women" by Destiney's Child instead of relieving myself in the backseat of my car!
6. Continue to always win at Tetris- Easy Breazy.... because unless Katie Fawcett comes into town i'll be squashing the competition all year long! When you are given a gift from above you must use it and continue to improve. can you imagine if Michael Jordan had given up on basketball? or if David Archaletta had never tried out for American Idol? The world would be a sad lonely place.... therefore i must continue to excell!
7. Run a race- yes this year i would love to run in like a 5k or a 10k. now i years past i've thought why would i pay money to run around the block and feel fat, out of shape, and probably ugly? i mean heavy panting, and leg fat jiggling all around wasn't my idea of a fun afternoon! if i wanted that i would just watch Kevin James peel an orange. but i've changed my mind and decided it would be a great accomplishment to brag about to others, and when i get my "free"( see its not actually free because you paid to be there but whatever) ugly shirt you better believe i will wear that bad boy around everywhere these cottage cheese legs will take me.
8.Stay single- nothing brings me greater joy then when someone comes up and asks if i'm married, because then i get the great opportunity of saying with smile....no, no i'm not. then i'm thrilled when they freely offer me dating tips and or advice on how to snag that special someone or suggest i date their cousin's nephew's friend. well i just want to say that i just love being single! i mean sleeping in a twin bed when i go home... so fun. always telling servers "can we get separate checks". or at the movies... "i'll take one for he's just not that into you". see all these things i would never have the opportunity to do if i were married. so this year, no more blind dates, and no more munch & mingles... cause this tax sheet box is checked single!!
Happy New year to Everyone!1. Drink More Caffeine- i chose this one for many many reasons. lets face it caffeine makes me a happier less tired person. i mean so what if my teeth turn a darker shade of yellow each day... why do you think they invented crest white strips? at least its Diet! plus anything unnatural that i can keep pouring down my throat i applaud! i tried for 3 days this year to not drink caffeine... so not fun. and i just ended up tired with a constant craving for blow pops.... weird i know.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
.JPG)
Happy Birthday fabulous Mother. In honor of your birthday I have thought of a few things that I love about you. (Everyone else can add on to the list if I missed your favorite.)
- Willingness to try things (like sledding!)
- The holiday packages (love the dish towels)
- Snorting when laughing hard
- Socks for all holidays, cities, etc.
- Stories that win things on the radio
- Amazing cooking--lasagna, mud pie, chicken pillows--need I say more?
- Always bringing meals to people (missionaries, women with babies, etc.)
- Love of Jimmy Stewart and It's a Wonderful Life (I finished his biography and liked it)
- Very creative
- The Oscar Dinner
- Always putting Dad and the kids #1 (and sacrificing so much for us)
Love you! Rachel

Gonzaga

Here is a picture from the Gonzaga-Utah game. Sad that the Zags lost but still a lot of fun. I (Rachel) did figure out one thing watching the game: I now know who my favorite Zags are this year. That would be Heytvelt and Bouldin. I am curious who everyone else likes :)
