Gold Medal.

The Olympics aren't over in our home! Well, they are but this weekend we were invited to dinner at the home of a friend and gold medal winner from the Beijing Olympics.

Chris's dad was in Beijing and helped coach his 7th Olympic men's volleyball team. Of course we all know they men won a gold medal! Ryan Millar, a player on the team, let us hold his gold medal and even posed for a shot with Presley.


The medal is prettier in person--on TV the white part just looked like plastic to me but in real life it is actually a white jade stone. Not too shabby! If Grandpa Carl has anything to do with it Presley should be winning one of her own gold medals on the women's volleyball in a future Olympics.
