Today was the Chinese Moon Day celebration, and it turned out to be a most auspicious and lucky day for both of us. First off, Rusty recieved news that he passed the Utah bar exam to become an attorney. On an even more exciting note, Rusty awarded Kelsi a gold medal on top of the South peak of Huashan, one of the most dangerous mountain peaks in China.
We came to China during the Beijing Olympics expecting to be spectators of the Olympic games, so it was a huge surprise to Kelsi when she recieved the gold medal at the top of the peak. In reality, Rusty bought the medal at a local shop and then awarded the gold medal to Kelsi not for summiting, but for being an exempliary wife since about 10,000 (literally 10,000) Chinese also made it to the summit. It was still enjoyable on the way down when a few people stopped Kelsi to ask her whether she was an Olympian. We just told them that she won the medal for summiting the mountain and they looked confused.

Congrats, my cousin, the "attorney". I still haven't figured out the difference between attorney and lawyer or doctor and physician. Good work on conquering the bar exam.
Also, that was very cute/romantic to give your wife a gold medal! Good work!
Congratulations Rusty on passing the bar. That is great! And good job Kelsi on winning a gold medal as a great wife. We are glad to hear you are staying safe, and having many fun adventures.
Continue to use good judgment in your activities - especially as you head toward Mt. Everest base camp. Make sure you give yourself reasonable time to acclimate to the higher elevations.
Our prayers are with you.
Love, Mom
