About Me

My photo
We started our eternal family November 8, 2008 in the Logan temple. Our beautiful son was born August 28, 2009. We are so blessed to be parents we don't know what we would do without Isaiah! He has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives! We thank heavenly father daily! Mike builds and fixes computers, is trying to start up two businesses, going to school and is working for ThermoFisher. I get to work at Post High working with special needs students part time and be a full time mom I love both my jobs! We are busy to say the least but when we have free time we enjoy taking Isaiah to the park, going on walks, watching movies, and spending time with our wonderful friends and families!

Someone I wish I could trade places with for a day:

To be truly honest I really can't think of anyone that I would want to trade places with, I am happy with my life and how things are going! I am grateful to know who I am, why I am here, and what I should be doing! Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to have a day where I didn't have to worry about anything and just be able to shop without worrying how much things cost or spend a day at a wonderful day spa, but not being able to have the knowledge that I do even for a day would kill me plus lets be real I would miss Isaiah so very much hi i can't/ even leave him for a couple hours because it makes me sad! So I chose to just be pain ol' me!

Lucky 7

Somewhere I have been... That is right The Happiest Place on Earth, I LOVED Disneyland it is just so much fun! My family and I went when I was in 10th grade and I had so much fun I loved being able to just take it all in it so very magical! Mike hasn't ever been poor kid, so hopefully we will be able to go sometime soon so that he can say he has been :) I can't wait until Isaiah is older so that we can take him... Yes I am one of those people that think it is CRAZY to take a kid younger then five like they will remember haha but it is totally ok to spend tons of money on first birthday parties because they will remember that plus I think it is only fair that both mom and dad has been before little people get to go just saying!!


I know what you are all thinking really that is the only place have been really Raquel... I have been other places geez back off Mexico, Yellowstone, Boise, St. George, and Vegas... I just love me some Disneyland! Ps you should probably be very jealous of my traveling :)

I one day Mike becomes super rich and I have a beautiful stornoway grey, with almond leather interior it would sit there and look beautiful and that is all!

  8. I miss cheerleading so bad I dream about it almost nightly...

  9. I love things that scream rich, take #7 for an example... I am pretty sure this is a sin if it isn't it should totally be!

  14. I worry about everything so don't worry because I have it covered! Like worry to the point where I am sick about nothing that I can change.

  15. I love to watch people when we are in public places not in a weird way pinky promise I just think it is so funny the way some people handle things or things that they do, I also enjoy learning from them, the good and things that I hope I would NEVER do!

{Four}

My Best Friend: *these are in no special order*
My Mom and Sissys:

I can call/text them at anytime day or night, they always know just what to say, they all make me laugh, we can talk about everything and anything! I remember when I was little, Kayla and I would fight like a cat and a dog my mom would always say one day you 2 will be best friends I always thought she was CRAZY haha but she was right just like she always is! I love them so much and I am so thankful to have the relationship I do with them, I don't know what I would do with out them!


Mikey:

We have so much fun together, we tease each other pretty much all the time, he loves me for me, we enjoy spending time with our families Mike fits in with my crazy family, we are able to joke then go to serious talks within seconds, he helps me be a better person, wife, mom everyday! I LOVE him to pieces I love that we laugh together, I love watching our cute son do funny things together! I love my life with him!

Nessa:

Where to even start this girl is a freakin angel, She was so welling to be my friend when I first moved to mendon, we had so very many great times that I still laugh about, we were two peas in a pod! No matter what we were doing young women's, car rides, camping, May Day, prom with LOSERS for dates, fires, school, we made it the FUNNEST time ever!! We are the shiz shoppers together we can spend a ton of money! We love us some Victoria Secrets fashion shows, and spice girls! Probably one of my most favorite things we did together would have to be May Day night we decided to have a fire with everyone that was in the court we made sure to have everything any ones little heart could ever want we had hot dogs and all the fixin, smores, starbusts, and a bunch more things anyways everyone came ate a couple things then decided that they were going to go to a movie which pissed us of because we had just spent all this money time on all this shiz for the fire so they went and 5 of us stayed Nessa, Michael, Derick, Mesa, and I and all the others left all their cars at my house because they all carpooled so we decided to junk their cars because MY HOUSE IS NOT A FREAKIN PARK N RIDE! We drove into walmart and bought all kinds of things Bras, huge undies, whip cream, pudding, pads, things like that as we were on our way home we saw someones car that went to the movie on the way to mendon so we booked it home driving faster then I think I had ever gone we made it to my house with like maybe 5 minutes before the car that we saw would be there we started just throwing crap on all the cars and writing THIS IS NOT A PARK N RIDE on them haha it was such a fun night I will never forget it!



Erin Holmstead:

This women makes me laugh so hard all the time I love when she tells stories she is the best, she says the FUNNIEST things we started hanging out when Mike and I started dating at first I am not going to lie I thought she was a brat and didn't really like her but the more I get to know her the more I love her she is just like another sister to me! We are so much alike it is sick, and when we are together we make wonderful things happen! The funny thing is our mothers are the same way we just had a baby shower for miss Erin at my moms house, a friend of Erins asked so is this your moms sisters house haha! We enjoy talking, taking amazing pictures, thrifting, shopping, crafting it up, throwing parties, and making yummy things to eat! I am so glad that we are such good friends, and that Jeff and Mike are such great friends hopefully Isaiah and baby Jace will grow to be best buddies as well because we sure LOVE doing things with them! *I am sad to say I have zero pictures with Erin*

3rd times a charm....

A typical day in the shoes of Raquel Corral: I usually wake up when Mikes alarm goes off which is around 6-6:30ish, I try really hard to go back to sleep, but that hardly ever happens so I lay in bed until 7ish get up say my prayers, read my scriptures, get dressed (sometimes) and then I go downstairs and start the daily blog stock. At 8 most days the little boy that I babysit comes, so I check his bum, swaddle, fed and put him down then I facebook stock or watch one of my many shows. Around 8:30-9 o'clock Isaiah wakes up from the dead so I change his bum, get his bed made, get him dressed, start breakfast, eat/fight with Isaiah to eat, then I usually let Isaiah watch a movie so that I can clean up breakfast do some laundry sweep mop vacuum clean the bathrooms fold some clothes whatever it is that needs to be done for the day. At 10 baby P wakes up from his morning nap so I get his bum changed, play with him and Isaiah until about 11-11:30 then it is fighting with Isaiah to have a nap, feeding P getting him down for his 2nd nap which then is time for me to get the rest of the list I made earlier done and if I want to get ready for the day now would be the time After naps it is lunch, outside time if it is nice if not I hate to say it but we usually watch another movie p plays fed p again, sweep the floor again, start thinking about what we can have for dinner. P's dad comes and gets him around 4:15 then it is on to making dinner eating/fighting Isaiah to eat, then clean up dinner, Family Time, Bedtime for Isaiah, then sweep the floor tidy up the house, shower, maybe watch a movie or spend time as just a couple then it is off to bed we go. Then it starts all over again!!
