I'm so proud...

Ok, so I am so a rookie when it comes to blogging...



I figured out how to make my blog look a bit more "homemade" today...



What do you think?



I have some pictures from my husband's Jr. Tackle Teams football games to post.



I promise that I will have a stamping post by the end of this weekend if it kills me.



Is anyone out there teaching classes on this blogging stuff...



I guess what some do share a bit of themselves...



I am sure that there are a few of you out there who have seen my comments on you blogs an wondering who is this Rachel?



Well, I'll start with the past.



I grew up in rural Stephenson County, IL. Yep you are talking to a full fledged Midwestern farm girl here. We had a dairy farm when I was first born at 3 I was feeding the baby calves with my Mom. We sold the milking cows and moved to Pearl City, IL. We also had sheep later for 4-H projects...



Family is very important. I have 1 brother who is 3 years younger and me. He is married and he and his wife are expecting their first child early next year. My parents live in the home that my Mom grew up in. It is a great old house with lots of memories since my Grandpa's family built the house in 1910. My Dad's extended family is very close. We get together about once every other month with my Grandma, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.



I went to the small public school in Pearl City, IL. I would'ny say that I enjoyed every minute...but, I do miss my schooldays... While in school I became friends with many. I am still really good friends with a small group of them. We get together once a month for a "card club"...which usually involves food, drinks and games/cards...it's a good time...



I went to college at the local community college before I transferred to UW Platteville for the last two years. I actually loved school and wished that I could afford to go longer.



Oh by the way...I love cooking, stamping and infertility blogs...more on why later...



I'll update you later on my Husband and my life right now...
