Oh, Rachel! You always have so much engergy.
Annoying, isn’t it?
Any older sister knows the horrors of a “knock” when your home alone babysitting…
Isn’t she the cutest?
This was actually from Rachel’s youth. Her aspirations were both simple and adorable.
So much wisdom wrapped up in those 26 years.
Stop judging the necessities.
Rachel’s more of a short distance sprinter, the 12 mile runs really wear on her.
Rachel’s been through the school of hard knocks a couple of times.
Frisbee — who’s good at that anyway?
She’s not afraid to tell it straight and confront those who beat around the bush.
So modest.
As an older sister, she always gives good advice…
Rachel has a smile that will brighten any day!
Rachel isn’t one to let dissapointment sink in. All about making the most of every situation and dissapointment.
When I was born. Don’t worry, we’re good friends now.
Recently, Rachel has becme a Driver’s Education instructor for the student drivers in house. This is basically her during 90% of the practice drives.
Rachel’s motto.
Rachel is always one to cheer you up when you’re down.
You aren’t alone, Rachel. Everybody knows the feeling.
