Day 1 - Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts

My name is Rachael and I am 24 years old. I'm married to my best friend and we have been married six fast blissful months. I have an excellent and stable family and am blessed with parents who have been fortunate enough to have a lasting, wonderful relationship - they are my role models! I am also blessed that Sean's parents have an equally stable marriage - something that I think has played into Sean and I and what we wanted in our own marriage.

Here is a recent picture of Sean and I after we got engaged last year. It is the perfect depiction of our relationship, combining two things we both love - each other and being outside:

15 Interesting Facts

• I love to buy shoes. Of any kind. I tend to buy heels that I don't wear often and I live in my grey converse shoes.
• I love to run and wish I could run farther than I currently do. But considering I was never a runner growing up, I think I'm doing OK.
• Speaking of - I am signed up to run my first 5k in January! And after that, I am going to tackle a 10k.
• Summer is my favorite season because I love swimsuits and flip flops. But fall holds a special place in my heart because that means one thing - CAMPING!!
• I learned how to wakeboard this past summer. It was terrifying exhilirating. I never wanted to before because if you know my husband, you know that he is the kind of person that gets on a wakeboard and does backflips.
• My mom is hands down my best friend. And so is my dad. I love my parents indescribably and am incredibly close to both of them.
• I am blessed to have two parents that have set a shining example for me as to what marriage is... And even more blessed that Sean's parents did the same. I think it defined what our marriage is and will be.
• The day after I met Sean I told my best friend I would marry him. A year and a half later we were dating. And here we are today.
• I love to write and edit. It was always my dream job to be a magazine editor.
• Cooking and baking are two of my favorite relaxing things.
• I am a health nut. But I can rarely turn down ice cream or french fries. And if I'm at Wendy's then I have been known to dip my french fries in my frosty.
• Speaking of Wendy's - I almost never eat fast food. I would much rather be cooking.
• I love to take vacations where you can be active too. Perfect vacation in my opinion? Somewhere beautiful where I could go hiking and kayaking.
• I love love love to read. Books are windows to a different world for me and I always live vicariously through the characters.
• I am awesome at playing washers. And if Sean and I are on a team together, we will most likely beat you. Not trying to be cocky, we're just good. Some weekends we just play each other in our backyard for hours - its one of my favorite things to do!

There you have it!
