Its been to long

I know its been awhile since i've posted something so here is  recap. I just got back to school today from our easter break and this week i have two days of exams and then i'm going home for summer. i'm really going ot miss james over summer because we will be 3 hours away but we do plan on seeing each other over long weekends and i'm going to the lake with his family. we just spent easter break with his family and went and had an amazing dinner with a good friend. my allergies have been kicking my butt since yesterday i'm extremely congested and nothing seems to really help. i'm very ready for this pollen to go away. Random Fact i want to stay in the state of virginia when i graduate, i'm not sure where in virginia yet but that probably all depends on things after school but i do know i dont want to stay near my parents and i want to be out on my ow

Hi I'm Rachel and I'm a Slacker

so not much exciting here doing homework and trying to make my computer faster. friday was relay for life and yesterday me james and another couple went to the local humane society and played with the puppies and walked dogs. there was one puppy in particular that both me and james wish we could have taken with us, to bad we cant have dogs on campus. blue is the cutest puppy and he is only 18 weeks old and is gunna be a huge boy. as you can tell from the picture in comparison to james, it was sad for both of us when we had to leave. at relay for life i got this luminare in memory of my grandmother angela who had lung cancer that spread all over her body and my aunt linda who died at the age of 11 from what i think was bone cancer that spread. my dad once told me that if his sister had gotten cancer today that she not only would not of had her legs amputated but she also would have beat the cancer. it is reasuring to know how much cancer treatments have improved in 50 years.  when i posted this picture on facebook my mom told me that her mother also had Lymphatic cancer 5 years before she died. writing this post is making me tear up a little because with my grandma jean i was young and she was mostly bed bound with multiple health problems and my grandma angela we didnt get to see much since she lived fartehr away but i wish i had spent more time with them and had kept more things to remind me of them. and my aunt linda died when my father was only 6 so i never got the chance to meet her. i think i'm going to donate to relay for life every year now in their memories. Random Fact  I support relay for life for my grandmothers and aunt and buddy walk for my little sister

13 to much

So I did something today that I'm actualy pretty against which is weighing myself on a scale. I know i've been getting bigger but i wanted to know how much i weighed and i know most women dont share their weight but i'm gunna do it anyways. i'm 173 which is the heaviest i've ever been and i guess that isnt too bad with the fact that i'm 5'11 but i was 155 in the begining of high school and about 165 when i graduate. i knew it was a bad idea to step on the scale because i've always been big on the while idea of "i dont care how much i weigh as long as i look good." but this number is really kicking me in the butt to get serious about working out and eating better. so today at the gym i ran 1.15 miles in about 14 minutes then did some abs and rode the bike for about 6 minutes before i got bored and decided i was done. i just got to make sure i keep up with working out everyday. i've also deicded on ABSOLUTELY NO fast food, soda, or candy which menas even if james goes to get fast food i will get nothing or i just wont go with him and i need to buy more healthy food when we go grocery shopping but it sucks not having an oven or even a toaster oven because there is only so much you can make in a microwave. so the teddy bear in the picture i bought myself last year in janurary and i sleep with it when i dont sleep with james. i'm excited for this weekend and 3 weeks left of school. i have a good amount of stuff i have to do next week for things should be exciting and busy for me hopefully i still have time to work out as much as i need to. Random fact when i was little i wanted to be a giraffe when i grew up because i was told i could be whatever i wanted to be i wanted to be that.
