Last night, I had a great time playing volleyball with a special group of girls whom I love and respect. Qualifying for the OLYMPICS was the cherry on top of a fantastic weekend. A huge thanks to the spectacular fans from Lincoln, NE–you guys were wonderful and really made us feel special. And thank you to all the fans who support us from afar. We're one step closer to making our dreams a reality! #roadtorio #olympicbound #gousa
