Family and Friends

July 27, 2008 · Print This Article

This is my last week in the US before I head over the China.  And a pretty intense training as week as well.  But my family and friends have helped make it and exciting week.  Reedus was able to visit this week and some friends(The Rudds) from Knoxville, TN were able to come down and hang out.

    I wanna wish you & Kristen good luck in the prelims!

    It’s been an honor & priviledge working with you both. You’ve both worked hard to achieve this opportunity & I will be here cheering you ladies on to the end.

    Now throw far & don’t fall down!

    Ok i’m an idiot. I mistakenly looked at the start list & thought that was the finals placing (foot making its way into mouth). I sincerely apologize & look forward to seeing you & Kristen back in Auburn soon.

    Love you always- Brandi and the girls…

    PS: Can you get me David Oliver’s number????? LOL Autograph, something???? LOL. Picture…???? Anything will do, I’m not picky! LOL. Love you!

Got something to say?
