There and back again: a Rachel Tale

In a house above ground there lived a girl.  Not a hairy, large footed girl but simply a girl who wasn't quite ready to leave on time.  Silbo was lovely and sweet, a little too sweet for she agreed to help this knight with a declaration to his people and it was taking longer than she had thought.  It took some bidding from our part but we got them to agree to go on our quest.

So on our wee white stallion we, Silbo, Chrwalin, Sili and I, Randalf, all crawled.  Instead of fighting the large noise dragons that we came across we simply passed them by, which was a jolly good plan for it got us to the mountain where our riddle would lead us to our golden treasure:

"A box without hinges, key or lid, Yet golden treasure inside is hid"



And what a yummy treasure indeed!  And that was just the start of our adventure

During our long quest there were battles to be had...

Damsels to rescue

Evil to vanquish

Trolls...

Paths to follow

 Joy to be had!

All to finally come out the other side the mountain...

Some things were so scary that face were stuck permanently ;P

But ultimately we made it back to the "Hole" safely.

My husband

My husband.  I love him.  He and I met in college our first month of our first semester.  I accentially tackled him while we were playing 2 hand touch football at midnight.  

We became friends and got to be somewhat close friends over the next 2 years.

From there as the story goes it moved to more.

We went from dating to engaged like that (imagine a snap)

We were engaged for 6 months and now married for almost 3 years.

Crazy where the years go.  He is sweet and loving and kind. . . even to little kids : D
