I know, 11.5, but just go with me. I have to brag on Husband for a moment.

I have always known how ridiculously talented, smart, charming, funny, thoughtful and good looking he is. Yes, the red hair does it for me. Like I said, I’ve always known these things, but when he receives his much deserved accolades from his peers and especially work, I can’t wipe the proud “Mama/Wife Bear” grin off my face.

You see, aside from being chosen as a “Top Gun” in his program and kicking trash on the technical aspects of work, Steven has been awarded THE BEST PRESENTER.

Several months ago, all of the ASEs (associate systems engineers) & ASRs (associate sales representatives) had to enter a presentation contest. There were several rounds of weeding out presenters and with each step the audience grew more grand and esteemed. Well, amidst the work stress of interviewing and personal trials we’ve been experiencing, Steven blew the final competition away in front of the Vice President of World Wide Sales Enablement of Cisco and ALL of the managers. Yes, he even beat Santa Claus (the other guy brought in a Santa for part of his presentation).

Husband, I always knew you were a rock star, it’s just nice that everyone else is realizing it too. Love you.
