Chapter 2

Well, thanks everyone who wants to view my blog. That makes me feel loved. :-). So i am sitting here at my mom's house on the computer waiting until i go to work, i still have about an hour. I am not sure what to write, so i will write a funny story that happened about a week ago. Last Thursday Dani, Jon, Nathan, and I decided to go on a road trip up to Haun's Mill. (For those of you who don't know what it is, it was a settlement made by the Latter-day Saints in the 1830s where many were killed. ) As we were up there we did a little exploring and had gotten pretty muddy, so we had to get into the trunk to change into other clothes that were in there. Nathan had opened the trunk and put the keys on the little ledge that the trunk door sits on. After we were done with the trunk he closed and we were about to leave and he said, "Where are the keys" I remembered seeing them on the ledge and told him where they were. The keys were locked in the trunk and we had no way of getting to them. The spare key is currently lost and the button to pop the trunk was broken. It was still light out but getting dark fast, and we were pretty much in the middle of no where so the cell phones weren't getting much of a signal. Nathan was the only one who could get a connection and his phone was very low on battery. We were able to get a message, but not before attempting to break into the trunk by several different means. The whole time, we weren't worried but instead were looking at this as a funny time that we are able to laugh at the situation. After finally managing to get through on my phone to my dad he was able to help us fix the trunk pop button which turned out to be a broken fuse. After about an hour of trying to get into the trunk and losing light fast we were able to get the keys and drive safely home. All in all, it was a fun night and one will remember for a long time. ("hey, remember that time when we were at Haun's Mill...") good times. any way, it is time to go and eat lunch before heading to work.
BUH BYE

P.S. i have the option of being able to send my posts to up to ten people whenever i write one, if you would like to be included in that, let me know so you can be updated without having to visit the blog everytime.

Chapter 1

Well, here it is the first official blog. I am following my mom's example and hope to be able to keep up with it. I think first I will update. First off, I am going to be a mom at the end of October. Nathan and I are very excited. We are having a girl and her name is probably going to be Celeste Tayler Rathjen. (notice the CTR initials ;-) . My sister comes home from her mission in about a month and we are very excited for that too. Dani and Jon are getting married in a few short weeks and I am the matron of honor. So the next few months will be very eventful and exciting. Any way, i think that i will continue on another day.
