And the award goes to...

Rick!!!

On Friday night I had the honor of escorting my husband to the 

2009 Center for Insurance Studies Scholarship Awards Ceremony 

at the Marriot in Fullerton.  We got all dressed up, dropped Owen off with Aunt Tawny and Uncle Donovan (thanks again!!!) and headed out for the night.  Rick received not one, but TWO scholarship awards.  First, he won the O.C. RIMS Insurance Scholarship and then the Cargill Insurance Innovation Award.  Out of the 40+ recipients that night, he was one of two people to get more than one award.  I am so proud of him!  He has worked so hard to finish his degree and go to work so that I can be home with Owen.  I cannot think of a man more deserving of these awards then him.  Congrats!!

One of the centerpieces from the event - I got to take it home!!  
A sweet lady at the event offered me this beautiful bouquet, 
and I just couldn't resist.  I've never seen those flowers with
 the purple and turquoise together before and I just fell in love!

Congrats Rick! p.s. I got Koa a few ties from The Childrens Place (for like $3 each... don't know if they're still on sale, but they aren't expensive at normal price either)
