WE LOVE RACHEL ELLEN OLSON MORE THAN THE OCEAN!!!

so rachel, our lovely roommate, is headed to costa rica!! whoo whoo!!! so alli and i made her a letter for every day and drove to her to deliver the package we made to her. she was headed to training camp south of peoria... so we left to go meet her there, but then she called cuz their car died in moline, one of the quad cities, so when we were down to peoria, we swung up north and headed to her... we ended up going all the way to moline and then back over on 80 to kankakee... it was quite the adventure over north west illinois... but it was AMAZING!! and so worth it cuz we got to hold our rach in our arms!! the only thing that would have made it better would be if amandolin coulda been with us... but she's radically changing the world in kazhakstan, so that's ok. :) we're thinking and praying for you amanda!!!

here we are driving and taking crazy photos of ourselves...


the completed package...

this is at rach's cousin's house where they fixed the car... she has a baby and i LOVE babies. her name is lindsey... isn't she precious!?!






here we are... all 3!!!

orientation

MY FAMILY CAME FOR ORIENTATION!!!
dude, it was amazing. i love my brothers!! caleb stayed with the guys in the band and that was so much fun!! and jonathan's all signed up for classes and i got to hug my mommy and daddy... the only thing that would have made it better would have been a great big hug from my anna baby.. but she made me some scotch-e-roos, so that made it better!!!
here we are at red lobster with most of the band, allison, brenda and laura joe's girlfriend...
