St. Patty's Day Fun Run

Kevin had another "Fun Run" yesterday for St. Patty's day. He had to be up for it by 4:00 am (a little too early for me to run)! This is one of the runs that the whole base can run in...army, navy, air force, etc; and then they get a t-shirt for it at the end. Kevin did pretty good - I think he said he finished his 3+ mile run in about 25 minutes! He thought he could have done it faster, but there were so many people there and everyone was getting in each other's way. Next time he's going to try to start a little closer to the front and see how he finishes then!

Here's a picture of Kevin his friend Kingsley after the run.

Surprise!!!!

This past Saturday, March 14, my family and friends threw a surprise birthday party for me!

This is how my Saturday started....I had to work that morning, then I came home and talked to Kevin online. Later that afternooon, I was suppose to meet my friend Heather for a manicure/pedicure. Well, when it was time to get off the phone with Kevin, I was sad and just missin' him. I said my good-byes, then headed over to Heather's house. I walked in the door and her house was FULL of people!! I was SO surprised. Not only was all my friends/family there....KEVIN was on the webcam right there when I walked in the door! It was just crazy - I had so many people there and it all meant so much to me...and also got to see Kevin and my sister Lisa (who lives in Kenya) via webcam!! It was TOO perfect!!! Kevin said he could tell I was sad having to say good-bye, but he was loving every minute of it because he knew he would see me a few minutes later at the party!



My birthday is actually Friday, March 20th....the BIG 3-0!!! So yeah, they got me good!!! ...and KEVIN was in on it!!!



I'm still waiting for my mani & pedi!!! :)

Surprise!!

SSG Olson on the KJJY Website!

On one of the country stations here in Des Moines, they have been talking about honoring your soldier on their "Hall of Heros". There are a lot of really neat pictures out there of our soldiers past and present. I uploaded a picture of Kevin to all the other heros. Go out and check it out!! There is also a picture of one of our good friends, Sgt. Kevin Rossmanith, on the website too. He is currently deployed with Kevin right now.

Enjoy the pics!! I think it's a really neat page!
