There is no way I could name everything I love about you, Rachel -- living life as your little sister has been simply the best and there is just no way to sum it all up! But one of the things I most appreciate is your encouragement in so many ways. Not only in developing skills or trying new experiences, but also in living life on a daily basis with a joy that I always learn from and delight in. I love you, sis!
"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works...exhorting one another and so much the more as you see the day approaching."
Hebrews 10:24
And just for the fun of it -- here are a few of Rachel's favorite things:
- store - small town tourist shops
- candy bar - java twix
- sports - volleyball and biking
- snack - sugar/cinnamon popcorn
- Bath & Body Works scent - blackberry amber
- place to stay - "wherever my family happens to be!"
- drink - french vanilla cappachino
- vacation spot - Silver Dollar City, Branson, MO
- shampoo - Pantene Pro-V
- restaurant - Amigos (budget conscience!) or Olive Garden
- vegetable -- tomato
- Bible character - Joseph, and the blind man in John 9

I'd have to echo what was shared about you! :) I too have learned so much from watching you life, your walk with the Lord, and your JOY to serve Him in whatever lies before! What a blessing His fragrance is coming from within you!
May you sense HIS presence in a new, and fresh way this year, as you draw only closer to our loving Savior!

Hope you have a fabulous birthday, Rachel! I'd say that my favorite vacation spot would have to be Seward, NE! :) I think I should go there again soon. ;)

This is a special Happy Birthday sent out to you. We hope that you have had a special day. We are still celebrating here mainly because there is food still available. We hear that tennis might give volleyball and biking a run for their money? We think that you should look into basketball because there isn't such a racket with it. Anyway, Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Rachel!!!! I pray it was really special for you, and I really hope and pray this year brings bountiful blessings into your life. You're such a sweet friend ;)
