The Rohde Rave

Joel Rohde got married. Jake Rohde is in his final year of college. Jaron Rohde has been in Marine boot camp for two weeks. Jase Rohde has embarked upon his last semester of high school. Where did the time go? My first encounter with the Rohde family was when Joel and Jake, then high school senior and junior, came to visit our mutual friend Russell at Central. A year later, Joel introduced me to the rest of his family by taking me to his Wilton, Iowa home. I was in love instantly-with the whole family, that is. They are such a warm, open, loving, hilarious family who touch the lives of pretty much every one that is lucky enough to cross their paths! I have been blessed to spend a couple of different weekends at the Rohde's, attend college with both Jake and Joel, hang out at Mark and Lisa's super bowl parties (which they drove to campus to host for us!), and ride with Lisa to boy's state to pick up Jase! Joel's wedding was jus a few weeks ago....and so much fun! The pictures on here are of Jake and of Jase and Jaron (who pulled a surprise kiss on the cheek just as the camera clicked)! By the way, Jaron is still in boot camp..please pray for him!
