Rachel, that was so fun to read. I remember when you got married in the second grade. I had to laugh at that. It was fun to learn more things about you. HOW FUN that you've been to Italy! Wow! Did you and Nick just go? Did Sydney go with you? What do you get at winersnichel (sp???)? Are you a hot dog lover? I have to have del taco taco's at least once a week.
Are you going to school right now to be a nurse? I think it is the best job (I could never do it b/c I hate all that stuff) but my mom has done so many neat things with it. Such a great job and great money. I die at how much my mom can make an hour.
