Well friends, life’s been a bit meláncholy (#megamind). It’s great and exciting too, but we’ll get there another day. The reason for the current sadness is that my roommate, Rachel Connell the Grand, has moved out. Tears. Literally. I can only remember two other times (maybe three :)) that I’ve cried after I’ve stopped being roommates with someone, so that means she's kind of a big deal.
Anyways, let me just tell you a bit about the gem that is
Rachel Connell.
Here we are!
And, here’s a list of reasons I think she’s wonderful:
-She reminded me of the joy of reading before bed.
-Sea cucumbers. Yes.
-She eats popcorn with chopsticks.
-She does puzzles and art projects. :)
-Her family. They’re fantastic.
-She is a deep thinker with whom you can have conversations
about things that really matter.
-Her painting of Paris that hung in our kitchen. <3
-She’s an excellent listener.
-She knows who she is and exudes confidence in a wonderful
way.
-Her love of chairs.
-Anna: You know what, Rach, I think I’m just going to go to
bed.
Rachel: I support that.
-She drove all the way to Delta, Utah to go trilobite hunting.
-Her flashlight, which doubles as a self-defense weapon, and
her hammer
-Her EMT life-saving skills. Feel free to almost die anytime
she’s around, she’ll probably be able to save you. Just don’t choose anything
too complicated. :)
-She introduced me to this song:
-She introduced me to this song:
-She’s a true friend that came along right when I needed
her.
Rachel, thank you for enriching my life. 2 Corinthians 7:13 pretty
well sums things up:
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and
exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of [Anna], because [her] spirit was
refreshed by [you].
