It’s not everyday you get to hold an Olympic Gold Medal so you can imagine my excitement to see Reid’s medal from Beijing.  We had a great time at his house hearing all the awesome stories about Beijing and their journey to gold.

My first impression of the medal is that it’s heavy.  Reid was telling me that on the back side there is a ring of jade on the inside.  The design is beautiful and I was amazed at the detail.  

They’ve done it.  Reid was nice enough to call me from China and leave me a message.  You could tell the excitement in his voice.  They won the Gold!  I’m stoked for the entire crew, especially for Reid.  I know all the hard work and sacrifice they’ve put in.  Go USA!

I’m stoked because the USA Men’s team just defeated Russia and will now play in the Olympic finals.  What a great Olympics it’s been for USA Volleyball as a whole.  Both the Men’s and Women’s beach teams won gold medals and both the indoor teams will be playing in the finals.  I’d like to personally wish my friends Reid and Clay good luck this weekend.  GO USA!
