Hello my sweet friends! Sorry I am a little later in the day updating my blog. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Mine was great (despite getting a bad sunburn).
On Friday evening my friend Monica and I made a drive north to visit some of our friends who have a lake house at Lake Texoma (it's on the Texas/Oklahoma border, hence the name).

We spent Friday evening hanging out with our friends Elizabeth and Bobby, as well as some of their neighbors. They were all hilarious, we had a lot of fun!
Saturday we got up early to head out on the boat for a day of fun in the sun. We spent most of the day on this little beach area of Lake Texoma. We had it to ourselves for a few hours, but about 1pm more people started showing up.

| My before pictures when I was still porcelain white! Yes, I make silly faces when I take selfies. Oh, and our view of the beach, before everyone else arrived. It was very peaceful! |

I had a little too much sun. I always think that I apply and reapply enough sunscreen, yet at the end of the day, it turns out I didn't. It didn't help that I fell asleep on the deck of the boat for a while. I didn't get pictures of my back, but trust me, it's a lot worse than the front side of me!

| Showing off my lovely sunburn, you can kinda see my "burn line". In about a week, I'm gonna be peeling like a snake. Yeah, I can't burn and then get a sexy looking tan. I burn and peel (and get more freckles). I look like some alien from the 80's TV show V. |
We headed back to Elizabeth and Bobby's house about five-ish to eat dinner. After taking a very cool shower, my sunburn was really starting to set in. I looked like Bob the Tomato from Veggie Tales.

After a wonderful brisket dinner, we headed back to the lake to watch the sunset with a group of people. The community they live in is really nice. Everyone drives golf carts around the property instead of their cars. I really enjoyed being out there, it was peaceful!
After a while, I started to not feel too well (I blame the sunburn), so I went back to Elizabeth and Bobby's house and pretty much crashed about 9. We got up early Sunday morning to drive back to Dallas. I spent the majority of Sunday on my couch, not moving.
The sunburn is getting a little better. It's definitely not the worst sunburn I've ever had. I am drinking lots of water and using this "after sun" aloe cooling gel that I really like. It makes the sunburn feel so much better.
Day 12: What is the story behind your name?
I'm pretty sure I was named after the Rachel in the Bible (see Genesis 29:17). All of my siblings and I have Biblical names. I know my middle name is after my great-aunt Ruth. Or was she my dad's great-aunt? She was somebody's aunt. I don't think I ever knew her though.
Hope everyone had a great Monday!
XOXO!
