FUN FACTS ABOUT RACHEL
If you could choose to hire one, which one would it be: maid, chef or hair stylist/makeup artist? Personal chef all the way! I love cooking, but by end of the day I lose my motivation, so I would love to come home each day to a professionally made meal. I have a borderline obsession with makeup, (seriously you should see my train case of makeup) and think I would miss doing it myself! Also, my husband is a bit of a neat freak, and being just the two of us and our dog, I think we have the cleaning covered!
What is your nickname? I have had a few nicknames throughout the past few years. The nickname I have had my whole life for obvious reasons is Rach. When my brothers were young they coined me with the name Chel since they couldn't say my full name. And lastly, my college nickname was Rackel, not sure where that came from :).
What is the neatest place that you have ever been? There are two places that come to mind for me. The first is Italy. I visited Rome and Venice for Spring Break during my Junior year of college and fell head over heels in love! The sights and the food were nothing short of amazing! My second favorite would be Thailand which is where we went on our honeymoon. The people in Thailand were the most gracious respectable people and made the trip even more magical.
What is your favorite game? I would have to say any game you could play with a group of friends whether it be Pictonary, Catch Phrase, Things, etc. A game night with friends is sure to be a night full of laughs!
In the town you grew up in, what are the 3 things you miss the most? Well, I grew up a few miles from where I currently live now, but do find myself missing many things from Colorado, which is where I was born and lived for a few years. Mainly I would say I miss my family, I am lucky to be very close to my cousins and grandparents, and would love to see them more often. I also miss the snow, something I wouldn't necessarily want to live in but definitely enjoy visiting! The third I would say is my Grandparents old home, I have so many fond childhood memories of the place.
What is your favorite food? This is a tie. I LOVE Italian food, I could eat pasta and pizza everyday if my husband let me. My other favorite is Mexican, who doesn't love chips and salsa? My favorite dessert would have to be chocolate covered strawberries, decadent yet fruity!
What is your favorite day of the week and why? Saturday and Sunday's. Usually days off mean breakfast at LGO and time spent with the hubby and friends and family. Perfection!
What is something that people don’t know about you? When I was little I was the biggest tomboy and super shy! Honestly matching and talking to strangers were foreign to me. The complete opposite as I am now!
Why do you love your job? I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to be a part of such a special and memorable day in people's lives. I get choked up each time I see a bride begin her walk towards her future husband, and truly feel honored to be apart of this special day. And of course because I get the opportunity to work with such an amazing team!
