Raquelita - My Best Friend

So as i understand it your supposed to talk about what your thinking and feeling in blogs. So this is whats going on now!

My Best Friend Rachel:

My best friend Rachel (also known as Raquelita & Davey Crocker) & I are leaving our homes to go on our next part of our journey at the same time. But to two different places.She's going to Keele - she just calls it a layby as theres pretty much nothing but fields surrounding it! (I'd love that)

And I'm moving to Bristol so in a car about 2 hours away maybe as opposed to the 3 hours from Manchester (My Home town).

And it's only recently been hitting me! I can't believe i have to live without her craziness for 5 years. She's going to be gone for 4 years longer than i! My course is only a year! Anyway enough about the depressing stuff were taking a chance at an adventure and God told us to go out into our mission fields. I want to talk about the memories we've shared over the past few years and all the fun we've had working together in this past year.

So Rach & I first met at 'The Gathering 07' - well it was in the minibus on the way and we were only there for the day. So i was scared to talk to Rach coz she was with her bro Jesse and they had Canadian accents which made them really scary! NO I'm kidding! It just didn't happen that we spoke to each other even though there were only like 4 youth members including myself so pretty shameful really haha.

But not long afterwards probs about a few weeks after i went to her house i think with my mum and some other people but Rach & I were the only younger people there. And sooo inevitably we started talking and the first thing i noticed was how mature she was for her age. Theres about 4 years between us! which isnt much but most people the same age as me hang out with people about the same age or literally like a year older. From that night on we have been best friends ever since. With MANYYY crazy memories. Dont worry i wont bombard you with them all just a few of my selected favs.

Were recently - when i say recently i mean roughly 7 months ago started working together at our church and its justtt been soo amazing!it allowed for us to spend some major quality time with each other! We've spent many a time at West One (Local retail sales centre) going through the rails searching for some fab bargains and ending up getting back to work late.

I was literally at her house pretty much 2wice a week staying over and it has been soo fun to be apart of her family. Rachel's Parents (Alex& Nancy) have language students staying at their house sometimes and its really nice to be apart of it.

Christmas & New Year was a definite highlight my mum got to spend some time with Rachel's parents as we went to their house for a meal for christmas eve and new year we went for a meal! it was such a nice chilled out time!

Also at christmas we had our Youth Travelling Supper where i dressed up as the cat in the hat and Rachel was thing 1!

Anywayyy i could go on butt i wont because i seriously could go for hours reminiscing.

Rachelll you are the bestest friend i could ever ask for! you've been there for me in my ups and downs. Given me the best advice and encouragement. We've had the best times these past few years. And you put up with my craziness haha.

Anyway Rach your the best and thats all there is to it! im going to miss you like crazyyy!! :'(
