I'm leaving on a jetplane. I don't know when I'll be back again. Oh wait, yes I do. 18 months, haha.... ha... ha.... eh

I guess it's appropriate that I write a goodbye blog since this will be my last time posting on "Our Thoughts Exactly" so Lauren, you better change it to "My Thoughts Exactly." You can find my new blog in 18 months under the title "Overweight, Awkward, but Oh So Spiritual."
To name a few, these are the things that I will miss the most, in no special order:
Jeans, in particular skinny jeans, my animals (special shout-out to Wilma and Nannie Boo Boo), my Green Rocketdogs, of course you, my friends who read my lame blog, Tennis, Christmas presents, not wearing nylons, not waking up at 6:30 am, my hot body, facebook, music, namely Angels and Airwaves, Safety Suit, Frou Frou, and Anberlin, BYU, My family (yes even Jens), Desperate Housewives and Glee, Evening Bike rides with Leah, and my longer than one inch earrings.

But even missing all of these wonderful things won't stop me from leaving. I know what you're thinking, crazy right? And maybe I am but if I've learned anything in my life, it's that you do what the Lord tells you to do and have faith in Him and things will be okay. Although Missouri definitely wasn't my first choice of a mission, I'm sort of warming up to the idea of hangin with all the hillbillies and possums. So if you need me, I'll be kickin it in the Independence Visitors' Center, preaching, giving tours, and passing out BofM's like crazy. Pray for me and my unfortunate companions and I'll see you soon.

Love Always,
Rachael Marie Howe

Some Things I never knew

Okay, so there is only one thing I never knew that I am going to publish in this post and it's called Lindsey/Lydia and her lady of the night ways.

Where is this coming from you ask? What evidence do I have? Behold-the evidence:




Yes, I know-looks can be deceiving. Let me explain. One, Lindsey rolls herself in big yellow tubes wearing next to nothing and tries to seduce men. At Seven Peaks no less. And Two, she comes home in the middle of the night dressed only in her princess comforter. Hmm . . . I wonder where she was? A little sketchy I think. Now I will allow you all to draw your own opinions, but as for me I now believe that Lindsey is just not the sweet, innocent person that I always thought she was.

On a brighter note, or a completely random note (I just want to post this picture) We went to Seven Peaks . . .
Sure it was like two months ago, but I don't care. It was fun and since Rachael is leaving in about two weeks I figured it was time to post this photo.
