Three for Thursdays

Three things I'm up to these days:

Crocheting Halloween costumes. Dietrich and Kate will be the big bad wolf and little red riding hood this year - how cute is that?
Trying to get my house in order. I hate cluttered corners.
Feed the baby, burp the baby, change the baby, etc. You know the drill. :D He is such a sweet baby, though. He almost never wakes me up more than once a night, and has even slept the night through a few times . . . or at least that's what I call it. Since I don't wake up for the day at 6:30 it does interrupt my sleep, but he's doing awesome!

Three movies I've watched lately:

Iron Man 2
The Sound of Music
Parts of BBC's "North and South"

Three of my favorite spices:

Garlic
Cumin
Caraway seeds - I don't use them much, but I like them a lot!

Three things I'm counting down "sleeps" for:

My first 5K (this Saturday)
October General Conference. My parents and youngest brother will be joining us for it!
Baptism and baby blessing in the same weekend on my side of the family.

Three things that get my blood boiling:

When my fully potty-trained three year-old goes potty on the floor or in her pants. I don't handle that very well. :/
When my kids won't stop fighting with each other!
When I discover that I've been lied to.

Three pictures:

One of my favorite pics of my husband. MmmmMMM! Is he hot or what?

Me with my maternal grandma. I think I'm about 9 here.

College flashback: I was in a dance group called Kinnect. It was awesome!

David's Bio

I grew up in southeastern Idaho moving at age one from the center of our town to the outskirts. This home had approximately ten acres and much of my youth was spent outdoors both playing and working with my grandparents on their farms. I enjoyed sports throughout my life and was active in wrestling and football throughout junior high and high school. My junior and senior years at high school a sweet young girl even convinced me to join the ballroom dance team. I graduated from high school and attended BYU where I earned my Bachelors degree in Biology in April 2007. Having been raised in the gospel it has always been an influence in my life.

Rachael's Bio

I lived in south central Idaho on a two-acre property in a three-story home until the fourth grade. We moved to Idaho's capitol where we lived until I was in eighth grade when we moved to south eastern Idaho. This move affected my life greatly. It helped me to gain and solidify my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as helped me decide how accurately I was going to live the gospel. This is also where I met David who was to become my best friend and husband. After graduating from high school in 2001 I attended BYU for four and a half years and graduated with a B.A. in Modern Dance, shortly before giving birth to our first child. Through all of my experiences my faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ and my dedication to living His gospel with integrity has increased. My greatest desire is that I will be able to help my children live and love the gospel.

Our Love Story

Rachael and David met first in their ward after Rachael moved in at the age of fourteen. Rachael's family had just moved across town to a home more suited to their needs than the original duplex. Both of their families were active in the church and Rachael and David both served in leadership positions of their respective YM/YW groups. With that constant exposure to each other was added the fact that they went to the same high school and were in the same graduating class. They found each other to be attractive and dated each other quite a bit near the end of their senior year and the summer afterward. After his freshman year at BYU David went on a mission to Russia - Rachael wrote him about every month and a half, just as an "interested" friend. Rachael was at home working for the summer when David returned from his mission and immediately felt that she wanted to date him again, so she asked him to go see the Phantom of the Opera in Salt lake City; thereafter followed about six months of courtship before they were married in Logan, Utah. Now they're both "the luckiest."
