Tonight I went to the Irrigon Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet with Yvette. I was helping the Chamber get a database up and running that would track all their donations and auction item information. Yvette and Emerald (in the picture with Yvette below) pretty much told me I had to be there to help them out.

Earlier this week, Aaron was talking to me and told me I should go because then Yvette would have someone to go with and he and Jason would find something to do. I had the hardest time trying to figure that out because we have Emma this weekend and I wanted to stay home with her. Aaron knew that, so I couldn’t figure out why he was so insistent I go with Yvette.

So. Tonight I was sitting there listening to the speeches and applauding those in our community being honored with awards when something the speaker said caused me to pay attention. As it turns out, I was honored with the Irrigon Chamber of Commerce Business Professional of the Year Award.

I am shocked. I am humbled. I am bewildered. I am thrilled. I am thankful.

I am forever grateful to my husband and Yvette for “tricking” me into going so I would be in attendance to receive this special award. That they wanted to keep it a surprise means the world to me. Thank you!

We sat at a wonderful table with great favors, and beautiful decorations:

Finally home after a long, amazing night. What an honor it is.

I’m off to bed to sleep in la la land. What an amazing evening!
