LIFE AS I KNOW IT

1. I am a dreamer and an avid goal setter!  I want to see and do everything I can!  I know that I can have, do or be anything that I want to, so why not live the life that will help me achieve my dreams?! :) Life is amazing!!! MY life is amazing!!

2. I ate Top Ramen everyday my freshman year....but only the Beef flavor... haha My mom even asked my roommates to make sure I didn't buy it when we went grocery shopping...too bad mama....I LOVE IT!!!

3. I love to LAUGH: laugh till I cry, laugh till I get a stomachache, laugh till I am gasping for breath, laugh with the ones I love, laughing at an inside joke, laughing because someone has a funny laugh that makes me laugh...it really is the best feeling in the world to me!!

4. My favorite scent to wear is PURE SEDUCTION by Victoria Secret.

5. I was born in Reston, Virginia...just 15 minutes outside of Washington DC.

6. My idea of a perfect day would be waking up and watching the sunrise with the man of my dreams, eating a huge french toast breakfast, then going for a walk in the sunshine, hand in hand with that same man, go shoping for an hour or two, go boating with all my family and friends, do some tubing and waterskiing, have a BBQ, play in the sprinklers, watch the sunset, and go star gazing. Man I miss summer time!!!

7. I had a lazy eye when I was a kid....and I had to wear a patch on my good eye to try to strengthen my weak, lazy eye.......but I hated wearing the patch and would always pull it off, so my mom would wrap magazines around my arms so I couldn't bend them to pull my patch off..... OH!!! And if that is not bad enough, on top of that I wore pink rimmed bi-focals because I have the eye sight of a bat.... Yeah...quite the childhood huh? %)

8. If you go to YouniversityTV.com and click on Campus Tours, and go to Utah Valley University you will see ME representing dear old UVU! :) lol don't make fun when I say "Snee-- skiing" ....you'll see! lol

9. I love to sing...and I love to sing LOUD! haha It is my dream to sing the National Anthem at a professional sporting event!

10. I love art!  Photography is my favorite medium!!  I love capturing people as they really are!  I also love drawing, watercolor, sewing, mod podge-ing, designing, and creating.  Life is a masterpiece, create it!

11. The only fight I have ever gotten into was in the 3rd grade at Bonneville Elementary. It was at the end of the day and we were all getting our back-packs to go home and a was being rude to everyone...and it was getting on my nerves, so I turned around and whacked her in the face with my back-pack and ran off!!! (If you ever read this Lisa...sorry about that! haha!)

12. I love popsicles more than I love to breathe....

13. Celine Dion is my favorite singer! That was the first CD I ever got when I was a kid! I want meet her someday!!! At least go to one of her concerts! ....do you ever feel like you know a celebrity??  Well...I feel like Celine Dion is my cousin or something!! hahaha I feel like I just know her!!! hahaha (I have many celebrity "friends" like this!! haha)

14. I am a strong believer in The Secret. Do you know about The Secret??? If not...come talk to me...it will change your life! It has changed mine!

15. I love going horseback riding! I don't have horses but I have been riding countless times! ...One time when I was riding in the Sand Dunes down in St. George, all of our horses were galloping and then the horse in front on mine stopped, and mine had to stop really fast so it wouldn't hit it....and my horse kicked his back legs up, and I did a front flip in slow motion...off of my horse..and into the sand!! Not many can say that! hahaha Not many want to....I don't blame them!! But it really was sooo funny!!

16. I sang a solo in front of 10,000 people at the Marriott Center

17.I was at Target the other day, and was texting and walking, when all of the sudden my feet slipped out from under me....I let out a huge scream...my phone went flying in the air...I caught my balance, caught my phone, and kept walking! hahahhaha I was in front of all of the check out lines...hahaha I put on a very entertaining show for everyone! hahaha ;)

18. I am 5'8 and a half!I was always the second tallest girl in my grade {thank you Debbie Scoffield}.  I never liked being tall...until recently.  I am finally proud of my height!  Love the skin you're in!!!

19. I have really big cheeks....I dont know if anyone really knows that about me....I try to keep that to myself...haha ;)  When I smile, my cheeks cover my eyes and I can't see....it's a Kitto thing! (thanks a lot Dad!)

20. One of my lifetime goals is to be a contestant on a GAMESHOW!!!  Preferably Family Feud...I think my family would Dominate that game!! I dont know why...but I absolutely LOVE gameshows!! haha

21. I love to blow bubbles with my gum!!!! I do it subconsciously now and I dont think people like that all the time....but I just love to pop my gum!

22. I not only talk in my sleep, walk in my sleep...but I was told that I also SING in my sleep!!!

23. I have OCD about always having lotion/perfume, gum and lipgloss! I will turn my car around if I have left the house without them.  It's better to be late and have my necessities, than going through the entire day longing for them!!

24. In my film class the teacher sang "Who are these children coming down?!" and looked at us and said, "Name that movie!" I proudly shouted out "Saturdays Warrior!!" ....and I was the only one to shout it out...hahaha I grew up in a musical family, ok?!

25. My most embarrassing moment was...at the Special Olympics...hahaha I was a junior in high school and went with my school's special needs students to play Volleyball at the Olympics.  Well, little did I know, these students were SO GOOD at Volleyball!!!  I felt like the underprivileged one out on the court! haha  So I had to up my game!! ...and boy did I ever!!! hahaha I was so into the games!  My team won game after game!  We were on a roll!!  Well we were almost to the Championship game, and I was playing front and center.  The opposing team bumped...set...and was ready to spike, when all of the sudden I leaped up with all the adrenoline I could muster, and stuffed the ball back on their side.......knocking over a down syndrome boy!!! :(  It finally hit me: "RACHEL, YOU ARE AT THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!! I felt so bad!!!!! Here was his big chance to spike the ball, and I ruined it for him.  Can you tell how horrible I was feeling at that moment?!!?  This event still haunts me!! hahaha I remember my team cheering me on and being so proud of me, but I just felt like crying!!! I felt so bad!!!  ........But.....my team ended up taking home the Gold!!!! :) hahhahahaha

This is only a glimpse into my life.  I wouldn't trade it for the world ;)
