Utah!

We started off in Brigham City for Rusty's brother, Kevin's, wedding before Rusty took off to Denver for a couple weeks to take care of a few last things with his former business.


Kelsi has been trying to find a job in this crazy economy and inbetween that, has been dedicating time to getting back in shape. She recently took her nephew, Andrew, mountain biking on the Wasatch Crest Trail & hiking Mt. Timp, ran a half marathon with her cousins Lillian & Eliza, then biked the Wasatch Crest Trail again with Rusty when he got back home from Denver. Hopefully this weekend's 10K in Brigham City for Peach Days will be a breeze. Much inspiration on returning to health has been from two of Kelsi's cousins who lost 60 lbs and 100 lbs over the past year! What amazing accomplishments and great inspirations!

Rusty lengthened his name officially to Rustin Paul Diehl, Esquire, and had great fortune sliding right back into work as a lawyer for an estate planning law firm he clerked for before we left.
Kelsi has only received rejections from job applications. We heard it was a tough market while we were gone and it's interesting experiencing it. We're lucky Rusty had better success!
Other than that, we've enjoyed visiting with friends and family that we only were able to keep up with cyberly for the past year.

Wow Kelsi, you can't have been in too bad a shape while you were touring the world! Congrats to Rustin on his job. The market does stink, I've lost two jobs in the past year because of it, but for some reason I keep finding jobs, which means they're out there! Good luck!

Hey guys! Keep this going (and future travels? You got to come over to Melbourne!) Hopefully we get to see you guys soon in Utah, and I'm holding Rustin to his promise to teach a klutz like me to ski in a day :D

Anyway, we're back on the dusty road in two weeks. Signing off now, thanks for the entry on packing a year in a bag, xo

Kelsi- you are in great shape. Don't let others tell you otherwise. You look great!
