So this will be take three. Every time I try to post it shows up in the hugest letters, no matter what I do. I'm not even going to mess with changing font sizes for headers. It's just not working.
Something nice about the 18th?
What isn't nice about Ms. Kristen. She's a great preschool teacher and Spencer adores her. She also has one of the fun, friendly, down to earth personalities that leaves you thinking, "I want to be friends with her!" after the first time you meet her.
I'm tagging Rachael, Lisa, and Heather.
And now, I'm must do a special tribute to the first person on my blog roll. When I did my post on connections, she said she had the lamest connection of all. Without even talking to her, I knew she would feel left out again, so, I'm going to answer all of the questions about my dear Rachy.
What do I like best about Rachael?
Since I already mentioned her peanut butter cookies, I'll have to come up with something of real substance. I don't know how to answer this question without sounding all sappy. Oh wait, I think one of the best things about Rachael is that her and I have a complete understanding of each others moods. We can be total jerks to each other, and just shrug it off. Or we can call each other twelve times in a row saying "Oh yea, I forgot to tell you one more thing..." without getting annoyed, most of the time. It's so nice that we're not only sisters but the best of friends, the type of friend where there is almost no such thing as being "high maintenance." We just take each other as it comes, or goes.
What impresses me most about Rachael?
Funny enough, I think her blog impresses me the most. It's so fun to read, and usually makes me feel inadequate. Which is funny, cause she's blamed me for making her feel that way most of our lives. She always has way funny stories or even short quips about the things her kids say and do, even though she claims that most of the time they drive her crazy! And her volume. Her loudness impresses me, and the fact that her children seem to have inherited that from her.
A memory of Rachael
I have a gazillion and one memories that involve Rach. But for some reason, some of my favorite ones involve a trip we took with Josh. The three of us provided the childcare portion of a National Right to Life Conference in Pittsburgh. Some time soon I'll post pictures. It was a great trip. And I should mention the time she beat me up. That's always a good one. Or when her and Josh froze my underwear and made me cry. Or when her and I fought on a trip and one, or both of us got banned from future family vacations. Ah, what good times we've had...
Something nice about Rachael
Rachael is the best person to talk to when your having a crisis. Especially if you can't stop crying. Or when you need someone to laugh with you, or at you. And she's super non-judgmental when your in full crisis mode. And sometimes she'll even drive to your house, just to make sure you're really okay.
So there you go Rach. This should make up for the previous one liners!

Haha! I forgot about when they froze your underwear! You should pass that on to all the kids as a family legend.
Rachael is very loud. Her "Oh my GOSH!" is almost outside of the pitch range that the human ear can withstand. When Rach is around, pretty much all small animals run for their lives. Good call Amy.
Wow, I don't think I've ever heard you guys say anything nice to each other about each other, let alone many things. This was great.
Mitch, it's so true! Her "Oh my gosh" does break the usual decibal barrier.
I think you and Rachael are very lucky to have each other. There's nothing like a sis. to tell you how it is.
Wow! Thanks for making my day! I sure missed you and Spencer today! I was looking forward to seeing you! I have a family that comes from Kennewick to preschool...maybe you can carpool? Call me!
