just amazing

So I have been thinking about writing this blog for a while now and last night I just kept thinking about it and couldn't get it out of my head.  You know those truly AMAZING people who have left great impressions on your mind and heart - I would like you to meet one of those AMAZING people who has done this to me.

My blog is about one of the most AMAZING people I know - she lived in my ward when we were growing up and I graduated with her so I have known her for a while.  We recently in August got back in contact again (thanks to FaceBook) and I am so glad! 

Rachael is truly an amazing person to me - even though we didn't "hang out" or whatever in high school she was ALWAYS nice and kind to me.  I absolutely adore her.  She is married to a great guy (I think I have told her that a handful of times) and they have 2 of the most adorable little guys you could ever imagine.  Rachael always seems so positive and happy - I know she probably has down days - but she NEVER EVER lets it affect her relationship with her cute little family.  She might not have a perfect house but I know that her boys (her hubby included) will NEVER feel unloved - she is always doing things for and with them.  No matter how bad her day has been, how exhausted she may be or how much pain she may be feeling - she always takes the time to show just how much she loves her family.  Anyone who has been around them knows what I mean - because you can feel it. 

People like Rachael are such an encouragement to me - I am so grateful that we are in contact again it has been fun getting to know her more and her family - I hope that more fun times are to come.

Luke 2:16-20

And they came with ^ahaste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 
And all they that heard it ^awondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things, and ^apondered them in her heart. 
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Luke 2:15

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
