A little bit about me...

Hey guys! Just thought I would give you an inside look into the life of Rachelle. ;-) I live in the Bluegrass State and I LOVE it with everything in me. The weather can be and always is crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have two dogs, both of which I treat as my children and a wonderful boyfriend, Josh, whom I love dearly.

The yorkipoo is my first child. Her name is Fender (like the guitar brand, not the car part lol) and she is my world. I got her when she was no bigger than the palm of my hand and she will be 3 years old next month! She weighs all of 6 lbs and we were so proud when she gained that last pound! She the laziest, most loving little pooch a gal could ask for.

Her brother, on the other hand, is our 13 month old siberian husky, Lakota. He weighs a whopping 60 lbs and is one of the smartest dogs I have ever seen. He is stubborn (just like his dad) but loves to cuddle and snuggle. He and Fender are the best of friends and I absolutely LOVE watching them play. She will grab the little white puff on the end of Lakota's tail and he will just look at her like she's crazy! haha! They are so stinkin' cute!

I also love to crochet! Recently I have started making hats and headbands for the winter. It was a great and inexpensive way to make some awesome Christmas gifts! I'm a little bit of a girly, girl (despite growing up with two brothers lol) so I tend to put flowers and bows on most of my creations.

So that's about it for now! Thanks for stopping by!



My new tattoo!

I got my first tattoo and I absolutely love it! This symbol is packed with meaning for me and this is something that I have been contemplating for about two years now...so I finally did it! I chose a swallow because they are known as a symbol of freedom and over the past 4 years of my life, I feel as though I have slowly but surely come out of the bondages that have kept me from being who I really am. My family is very religious and I am 100% ok with that, but I feel like there are too many rules and regulations in religion. Although I do believe in God and I am still a very spiritual person, I believe Christianity is not something you have to follow a list of man-made (not Biblical) rules in order to be accepted into. I believe in having a PERSONAL relationship with God and studying to show YOURSELF approved. Not following blindly because someone else told you that was the way it's done. THAT is the reason this tattoo means so much to me. No, many people would not approve because their religion dictates that they not get tattoos, but I did to show my own personal freedom from the ideology of religion. I believe in God...not religion.
