Lisa -
You are our favorite daughter... at least until September, then you will be tied for first. I bet that you are just glowing right now. You have worked so hard and now is the time for you to reap the benefits of all of your efforts. We are confident that you will: 1) Do your best, [which is way above par]; 2) have a great time doing it; and 3) make it look easy. I have never seen anyone hold a believable smile longer than you. After all, you are our "ringer," (which if you recall - I called from the onset of competition). We can't wait for the rest of your experience to unfold. We have been keeping up online as best as we can, great interview btw. Proud is a good word for our feelings about you - but it really is an understatement. Have fun, take deep breaths and remember, there is no one else more prepared than you. Rock it Girl Friend!
Love your surrogate family in Ottumwa,
Joe, Rachel, Baby and Cooper
PS - Rachel says "Holla!"
