china or bust

nope, not a post about the ending olympics (though i am sad to see them go), but one about my little brother tyler.

he is a junior at southwestern university in georgetown, but this semester will be studying abroad at fudan university in shanghai, china. he leaves tuesday and will return on christmas eve....even though he has been away at college for a few years, its weird to think he'll be on the otherside of the world. its such a cool opportunity and we are praying for safety, fun, and an eye-opening experience.....if you are interested in reading a 21 year olds take on adventures in china you can check out his blog from our list.....the brother rankin.

oh, and here's a picture (my apologizes for how small it is) of the siblings last christmas morning. tyler is in the back with the crown on, then from the left is jd and kacy, and then the pretty people joey, me, and amy :)
