In the Beginning....

Dear World,
This blog is the result of hours of research and complicated surveys. To be honest it is the result of a desire of the creators of this blog, namely Rachel and Derek Mitchell, to chronicle in some small part the adventures of their life together.
It all started on a sunny day in mid-May 2007, in the quaint little town of Mesa Arizona. Rachel had recently returned home from a mission for the LDS church, and decided to go on an adventure. She, along with a mission chum, ventured to Mesa to work for a Non-Profit wilderness youth rehabilitation program called Anasazi. After a tearful departure from her family, she packed her things and drove from Texas to Mesa, which I can tell you from personal experience is no small feat. After hours of driving and days of preparation she and her chum finally arrived on this sunny May afternoon to begin training. She sat resolutely in her chair waiting patiently for the training meeting to begin.
It was precisely at this moment when Rachel's life changed forever. Through the door walked one of the most stunning specimens of male perfection she had ever beheld. Derek Mitchell, the name sang through her mind as he introduced himself to her. It was only a matter of time until they were married and living in congenial bliss.
