My name is Rachel (kinda obvious). I have returned to college to give a second try.  I am a Business Administration major enrolled in both LBCC and OSU.  I am a mom of 3; son 16, son 9, daughter 5. We have 3 pets - 2 cats and a dog (who thinks she is a wolf, but really just slightly larger than the cats).  I work full time, and a full time student. Life gets crazy at times - there is never a dull moment in our home!  When able I try to get my family out into nature - camping, hiking, riding bikes, swimming, etc. We do at least one camping trip a year.  Picture: Spring Break 2024 - Visited my dad in Belize
