Once again, I have forgotten about our blog and haven't updated it in awhile. Everything has been so crazy, moving back to my parents, Rachel and I both buying new cars. Then, before I even made my first car payment, I got rear ended. Man was I mad, but the lady that hit me is paying for everything. I got a Chrysler 300 as my rental and my insurance company is paying for it :) I miss my car though. I have a 2007 Ford Focus ZX3 SE (hatchback baby). Whenever I have some time, I'll take pictures of it next to Rachels car and post them :)
So lately, Rachel and I have been having more "downs" than "ups". For no real reason either, of course. Well, other than the fact that we're kids and we don't know how to just let things go because in the big picture of things, none of what we're fighting about matters. With that being said, we both don't like Feb 14th. I think its silly that there's only one day a year that I have buy things and do sweet things for Rachel, when I do stuff like that all the time. So we don't buy into it. We don't give the big companies our money. We go to Venice :D Well, Saturday we had went to Venice and I couldn't stop looking at Rachel and wanting to hold her hand the whole time. I had almost completely forgotten about what day it was because I was so wrapped up in Rachel. We had another friend with us and I felt bad because Rachel was the only thing on my mind. I don't know if there was something in the air because of Valentines Day but man, I felt like I was falling in love with her all over again. This past weekend I've been thinking about her non-stop and when she was near me I had to have my lips pressed against her cheeks or my arms wrapped around her. Standing next to her wasn't enough. I know that no one likes PDA but we weren't making out in the middle of the street or in front of kids for that matter. And I think there's a difference between high schoolers grinding all over each other in Burger King and two people that are in love standing off to the side kissing. Plus, I look more like a boy than a girl haha. Any way, I hope that the Corportate-invented "holiday" wasn't the reason for our spark this past weekend. It's only been a few hours since I last saw Rachel and I'll be seeing her again here, shortly but I can't get her off my mind. All I can think about is her beautiful brown eyes sparkling back at me while we play our silly "quick-kiss" game, cuddled up in our bed. -sigh- I hope this doesn't go away in a few years like it does for most couples.

Listening to: "Mmmnn" by Grandadbob
Wow, it has been two months since I last updated this blog. A lot has happened since then. Rachel and I are going to be moving into my parents around the 15th of January. They are letting us rent the upstairs for A LOT less than what we're paying now. So hopefully we'll be able to buy a second car for Rachel to drive. I'm excited to move back in with my mom and step-dad but I don't like the idea of living with my parents because, well...they're my parents. I love them to death and they are very amazing people but, once again, they are my parents. If I was to have housemates though, I'd rather it be someone I know and trust though. So what better people to live with? Haha. This isn't a long term thing anyway. Just to get us back on track.
I haven't registered for college classes next sems. yet and I don't know if I should. I'm not one for doing homework, which is a huge issue. I think I might just take two classes. I have to have 12 units to be a full-time student and I have to be a full-time student to have health insurance. Which means I'd have to take about four classes. So either have health insurance or be happy and do well in school. Hmmm. Rachel is taking 14 units next sems. She's so damn smart and hard working. I'm so proud of her. I wish she would post on here. So you could see (read) first hand how amazing and hard working she is. Any way, she's awesome :) Possibly the single most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. Our bond is so close and tight, it's insane. No matter what happens between us, we end up a lot stronger and a lot closer in the end. She's the best teammate ever <3
I've sorta ran out of things to say and time on my lunch break. I will try and keep this updated more often.

From a concerned citizen on Craigslist:
"This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking "where did the money come from for Obama". I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.
I started looking into Obama's life.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. "Barry" (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a "round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Neither I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York .
By "chance" he met Antoin "Tony" Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named "Entrepreneur of the Decade" by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association". About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School ? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented "Rezar" which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with "seed money" for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first.
Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was "sacked" after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "Hamas", which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will "Take care of things".
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those "small" Internet campaign contribution for Obama.
Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on "This Week" with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, "My Muslim faith". When questioned, "he make a mistake".
Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
"
This is from a friend of mine:
"did you hear about his latest townhall rally where this guy going by "joe the plumber" asked him about how he plans on raising his taxes. mr. o stated not to worry because he plans to "spread the wealth around". doesn't that kind of stink of socialism? i mean, socialism sounds awesome in theory, but in practice, it's already known to fail horribly in the long run."
Have a good day :)

Listening to: "The Monkeeys" by The Monkeeys
I'm at work with Rachel right now. She works at the Dos Vientos Center (park and rec center :). I went to work with her yesterday too. She's the only one working this weekend, which is why I'm with her. Yesterday there was a 1950's birthday party going on and I helped Rachel clean up and put the big tables and chairs away. It was a lot of work but we got it done. I'm glad I went to work with her so I could help her clean up. Today there really isn't anything going on so I'm keeping her company. It's really boring here. I'm glad I came today too. She doesn't have anything she has to do but set up a volleyball net today. Which I helped her with also. She would have never got it up without me. Its def a two man job. The guy that set the volleyball gig up, I think he's a ref. anyway, he is wearing some pretty short shorts that are also tight. I'm LOLing still. Hahaha. Well, Rachel is almost done with work. I don't know what else we're going to be doing today. I think we might hang out with a friend or two. Maybe go on a hike. Ohh! I talked to my brother the other day. He lives in Wyoming with his wife and almost 2 sons! He owns a condo in Roy, UT. I know, I know. Roy isn't that great, whatever. Any way, I asked him how much was it and he said its only $68,000!!!!! I couldn't believe it when he said that. So I've been thinking of that non-stop. Well, Rachel is locking up the doors is shutting down all the computers. I will update on a later day. Have a good evening :)
Give me some feed back on the moving ideas. California is too expensive. I feel like I'm just throwing money away.

Lately; Kiki and Rachey's Big Day
Listening To: "White Mystery" by Minus The Bear
TEAM B FTW!
We made dinner the other night for our housemates. Stir Fry style! It was fantastic and delicious :) Nothing new has happened. I've been itchin' to move lately. I think I have gypsy blood. One day its WV the next is UT. I talk to Rachel (Player 2) about it all the time but that's as far as it goes. Out of State fees is Rachels complaint. Which is understandable. Just an idea buzzin around.
Rachel had to go to Westlake (few towns over) for work today. On her way home the front right tire blew out. She calls me freaking out. My first thought is, "Get to her and change it." She then says that she's in T.O. (few towns over, still). There was no way I could get a ride to her. I started to freak out a little bit but then she says she's by her old work. So her boss from her summer job changed the tire for her. She came and got me and we went to a tire place. I was thinking that the tire was going to cost $100+ or I was going to have to get two tires. We go to a place I was recommend to and the people were SOOO nice. They are anti-Obama. Called him a "closet Muslim" Rachel and I LOLed a lot. AND the whole thing only cost $20! :D
That was our day. Let's call this "Kiki and Rachey's Big Day"

Listening to: "Could You Be Loved" by Bob Marley
Rachel and I have been together for over 2 years solid. We just moved into our first place together almost two months ago. We're almost settled in. We live in an apartment under a house. Quite awesome arrangement, actually. The people that live upstairs are fantastic! It's a couple, 25 year-old male and a 45 year-old woman. Deva (the male) is an old soul and JJ (the female) is a young soul. They are very intelligent, caring, and loving. Will write about them more. Rachel and I both work and go to school full time. We support ourselves without the help of anyone else. Seems somewhat easy but we live within walking distance from the beach so everything here costs twice as much as it does at my dads in WV. I don't understand what's so valuable about the ocean. Well, I do, but that's a rant for another day.
I don't have much to say. I think it's because it's so late and T.B. has to get up early. I just wanted to start posting on here so I can get in the habit. I think in the future we will write our adventures and random thoughts on things. Most likely. Have a good night and/or day :)
