Hello All!
My name is Rebeka Martindell. I am beyond blessed to be the one and only
daughter-in-law in the Martindell family. I am married to the Martindell’s oldest son,
Robby. We have been happily married for
3 years now. We met while both attending
Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher, AZ. I was playing volleyball and he was
playing basketball. He heard dating me was a “challenge”. Well Robby has never been one to back down
from a challenge, and I guess the rest is history.
Robby and I have moved around Arizona and Idaho during the
last 3 years. We currently reside in
Pocatello, ID in a house with our two dogs. Robby is working to finish his
Bachelors degree so that he can begin working on his Masters in Academic Advising. Robby’s dream job is to be a school
counselor/ academic advisor and a basketball coach. He hopes to eventually move
up and become a coach at the collegiate level. This job is a perfect fit for
him because I don’t know anyone who is more caring yet more competitive than he
is.
Robby has recently started introducing himself as “Rob”, and
that just isn’t going to fly. My dad is
“Rob” and my father-in-law is “Rob”… Robby is not Rob! MOVING ON.. Robby loves to be outdoors; whether it is snowboarding
in the winter or camping in summer. Robby also loves any that involves a ball.
Robby served an LDS mission in the Roseville mission in northern California. My
favorite thing about Robby is that he is not afraid to be goofy and weird with
me. I love to laugh, and Robby makes that happen on a daily if not hourly
basis. Robby also has a heart the size of Texas; he forgives so quickly and
loves me unconditionally.
As for me, I am Rebeka Camille. I am the 3rd
child of 4. I have two older brothers and one younger sister. I too am a lover of the outdoors. I too love
anything that involves a ball. I especially love volleyball; the game has
blessed me with so much joy and so many opportunities. I am a country girl
through and through. I was raised on a farm riding horses and showing steers. I miss the Arizona sunshine so very very
much. I love getting pedicures. I am a
daddy’s girl down to the core. I
am currently
finishing up my Masters in Occupational Therapy. For those of you who don’t
know what OT is, I’ll shed some light. And
no we don’t help people find jobs! J
Occupational therapists believe you are what you do; meaning your identity of
who you are is made up of the things you do each and every day. When you can’t participate in your daily
occupations; be it showering, eating, dressing, or writing a birthday card to
your grandchildren, OT’s are there to help.
We help people with disabilities across the lifespan do the activities
and occupations they want and need to do. PT’s help restore range of motion or
strength. OT’s help you live before function is restored, or perhaps it may
never be fully restored.
I am 100% apple and
Robby is 99% android. Robby is Pepsi and I am Dr. Pepper. Robby is a morning person and I am totally a
night owl. Robby loves salt and I love
pepper. Robby craves chips and I crave
ice cream. Even though we disagree on
just about everything, Robby is perfect for me. He is the ying to my yang and
the zig to my zag. Together we help each
other to become better people than we were yesterday.
And that's a wrap folks...
