Crash and Burn

Clearly all electronics are out to get me...

A few weeks ago my computer got a virus. We got it fixed but they were not able to recover any of my pictures from 2011. Somehow I managed to forget to put all of our Dominican Republic pictures anywhere...not on Facebook, or Snapfish. I promise you I have every intention of finishing my posts on our missions trip, but now, unfortunately, there will be no pictures :/

Yesterday, I was at my friend's house and it was raining outside. When I was running to my car, my phone fell out of my pocket and onto the wet cement. It was okay but last night it got pretty rainbow lines all over and now I can't see the screen at all. Thankfully one of my friends is giving me her old one!

So yep, I haven't been having the best luck :/

Well, I'm off to bed because I have to get up at 5:45 tomorrow! We're going skiing :)

The Story of Esther

I know I haven't been blogging much, but that's because I've been super busy with this:

I know what you're thinking: "Rachel? In a ballet? What???" But it's true! February of 2011 I started taking ballet at a local studio. Most of my friends take ballet there too. It is run by a Christian family and every year they put on a big production. This year it's The Story of Esther! The entire show is choreographed by our head teacher, Miss Lori Ann. She's an amazing woman! I love their family. Tomorrow is opening night! Then there are two shows on Saturday and one more on Sunday. Please pray for everyone in this ballet and for everyone who comes to see it! This is a great ministry to the community.

Joel’s Baptism

On New Year’s Day, Joel was baptized! We got this video but the camera focused on this lady’s hair. :/ But hopefully you can still see and hear what’s going on!

It Needs A Name!

Thanks for your help in picking the picture! This one was one of my favorites from the beginning. Now it needs a name! I have a couple ideas, but I'd love to hear yours!

Choices...

I'm going to submit one of these photos of the beautiful Glenna in a photography contest a woman at my co-op is having. But I can't decide which one is best! What do you think? :)
