"The Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts--what we have done. It is an acknowledgement of the final effect of our acts and thoughts-- what we have become." - Elder Dallin H. Oaks

Jenny (not the one I want to shove in a locker)

If you go down to my playlist and scroll down to the bottom of it, you can click on the song called Jenny by Flight of the Conchords. It's a hilarious song. The ending is so stupid! It's great.
So how's life?
Today is the BYU vs. Utes game. I am wearing red and blue to represent the rivalry. It's pretty wicked. Spencer is trying to get killed I think. He's wearing a Utes jersey to work. He works at Brick Oven and that's where all the BYU students work. So I won't be surprised if he walks into our house later with some teeth knocked out and a broken nose.
Anyway, that's it. So ttyl!
Love- Rachel

Guitars and Things

I finally figured out how to put my playlist on random. Yay! So that's something new.
Facebook used to not work on our computer, but my dad fixed it, so now I can have one! I think Facebook is so pointless, but then again, so is a blog. Lol. So ya. I'll try to get a bunch of friends on my Facebook in a couple days.
I figured out how to play Acoustic #3 by Goo Goo Dolls on the guitar. It's pretty sweet! It's really fun to play, and this means that I'll be able to read tabs for when I get my electric guitar.
Speaking of electric guitar, I found one at Bert Murdock that I really want. It comes with an amp, a tuner, a strap, headphones, and an instructional DVD. I'm so excited! Here's a picture of one kind of like the one I'm getting.
This one is made by Fender, but I'm getting one made by Ibanez. Isn't it perty? Jk.
And guess what else! I have a Kenny Chesney guitar! I was watching the CMA Awards, and I looked at his guitar when he was performing, and it looks exactly like mine, and it's made by Takamine just like mine! AAAH! Isn't that so wicked?
SEE!!!! There it is! The picture is really small, but the stupid computer wouldn't let me do it any bigger. So ya!
Ummm. . . What else?
Oh ya! Today at school, it was so amazing. You can probably guess why. Fred talked to me in math. He is a really funny guy, and he's so nice. Anyway, we'll see how long this crush lasts. Maybe it will be like David Archuletta's song: "I know this crush ain't going away!" Jk. But you never know!
Well, I think that's it. So I'm going to go now. Bye!

Don't you think that is just the sweetest quote ever? I'm referring to the quote of the week. It's from Madagascar 2. It's the part when Gloria is on a date with Motomoto, and Melman thinks he's dying of this disease. So he decides that he needs to share his true feeling with Gloria. So he go up to Motomoto and tells him all about the things he needs to do in order to treat Gloria like a queen. It is so romantic! Then after Melman leaves, Gloria asks Motomoto why he likes her, and he says something like, you're big , you're huge! She tells him that he had already told her that a gazilllion times, and well, you have to see the movie to find out what happens. It's great!
Anyway, for choir I was supposed to sell cookie dough or cheesecake to 14 people. I only sold it to 4 people. Oh well! I don't really care.
Uh, today my Aunt Alisa is coming down from Idaho. She and her family are sleeping at my cousins' house, but we're having a big family get together here at our house.
Last night was the Christmas party at Brother and Sister Jones' house. It was wicked fun! They are so tense when it comes to Rock Band. It was hilarious. Then the boys went outside to shoot Brother Jones' potato , and he broke part of the neighbor's fence. Lol. Sister Jones was so mad. Ya, and Susie and I ted on the singing part. It was great fun.
Well, I have to go get ready for church. Love ya all!
