"Look mommy, the crocuses are bleeeming!"-4yr old me at the first signs of spring. We went for a walk this morning and Lily saw the first signs of spring. We clapped.
Oh and hi, I'm Rachel, and I'm 23.23 things I have learned over 23 years of life:
1) Almost all sequels suck, threequels are even more horrid
2)It really is about attitude
3)If you are living right, everything works out
4)Take naps
5)Haggens, EZ orchards, Sandpoint, and Cabo are my happy places
6)Be on time
7)There is no end to laundry, embrace it
8)Sitting on the kitchen floor laughing with people you love is way better than a night out
9)Thai food is from the Gods
10)I love going to bed early and waking up early
11)Any type of reunion is sweet (family, friend, chapstick, etc)
12)When something is pressing on your mind, its either A)hormones, or B) God. Learn to distinguish from the two
13)Love truly is the only rational act
14)Food can solve problems
15)Being offended is a choice
16)Mustard yellow is my favorite color
17)The older I get the more right I am, even when I am wrong, I am right. I'm working on it.
18)Being a teenager is hard, everyone in middle school is awkward
19)There is always something to do
20)Marrying Chad was the best thing I have ever done, everything good and eternal comes down to that choice
21)Handmade, from scratch, and from the heart is best
22)Someone is always better than you, someone is always worse than you, so stop comparing
23)Avoid extremes: fashion, politics, diet, etc.

I love that Rach! That is so cute! You made me cry (which, I admit, is not THAT hard to do these days, but it still means that I loved it!). I especially love number 12...so true! Happy Birthday Sis!
Hope you had a great birthday yesterday!
Love the tidbits from your 23 years...I'm also loving especially #12.
So, you in for tomorrow? Portland?
#22 is my fav - that's why my sports number in high school was #2. Rad.
Hope you're doing great! Love you!
I totally understand #12 . . .crazy women problems :-)
Happy birthday!! you're practically an old women now!!
Love Maren :)
oh, it's your birthday? I'm sorry I didn't know that. Hope it was a happy one. from the sound of your blog it sounds like it was. you are so cute. I'm so glad you and Heather are friends and I get to know you too:)
Loving #12, so true! Isn't it funny all the things on your list are what our parents told us while we were growing up, but didn't want to admit?
Happy Birthday!!!! 23 is a good year. I loved reading your 23 things
