That night was A Great feeling!!!

 Since pictures are WORTH a 1,000  words, I have been saving this post til we received the Professional Pictures from the party photographer!!As soon as we arrive at the Arizona Biltmore for the Big Company Christmas party, we always head over to get our pics taken as there are So many people at this event, we just want to get it over with so we can enjoy the night (missing lipstick and all  sometimes)
 The company was celebrating 2 big Anniversaries this year, 50 years in Business and 40 years in the state of Arizona!!!My hubby also was celebrating 2 Anniversaries this year. 30 years with the company and 25 years as a Manager!!!They always have the most awesome ice sculptors.
 In the lobby, the owner came over to say Hello to my hubby!!I asked if we could get a picture!!!He said YES!!!I told him a great little quote we love to live by, "Some people DREAM about Great success and OTHERS like himself WAKE up each day and achieve Great success!!!!"

 2 of my wonderful girlfriends!!!One of them is the funniest girl I know!!!She always makes me Laugh!!!
 Our great friend Coni!!!We have known her and her hubby Jamie for 30 years!!
 Here is my hubby with Jamie and a great friend Mark, who happens to be the funniest Man I know!!!
 Our Table!!!!
 The centerpieces were spectacular this year!!!Red roses surrounded by red carnations
 Champagne flutes filled with champagne!!!
 All the Managers and Vice Presidents up front to give Mr. Halle a toast!!
 My glass is raised real high!!!

 He is the MOST wonderful and Generous Man you will ever meet, The success of this company is ALL because of his commitment to God, Family and then the Business.
 After lots of awards to Managers who set records, it was time to announce the MANAGER of the YEAR!!!
It was my HUBBY!!!!I sat and cried til he took me by the hand to go on stage!!!
 Lots of nice compliments were said, do I remember them, no I was still in shock and SO VERY PROUD of him!!!

Good Morning Jamie...
Congrats to Chuck on his award. That check is pretty great looking too. I can't wait to see where you all go. A trip or two or three? Fun as always, that means we get to go along as well.

You look absolutely beautiful in your evening gown. A great color for you sweetie.

Hope you have a wonderful week. Thank gosh it is almost over. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

Oh Jamie,

What a wonderful honor for the both of you. It is so inspirational to see someone who is committed to doing their best.

I have to say I am absolutely thrilled that you will be joining me on the carriage ride destined for Royal Wedding Wednesdays. When I hit the "publish" button I had a momentary feeling of panic that my post would be met with only the sound crickets chirping. It has been quite the opposite, so much so that I feel we have a kindred spirit/sisterhood sorority.

Here's to fairytales!

just call me jo said...

Wow! Congratulations to your husband and you, of course. A man doesn't do all that without help from a good wife. What a grand occasion! You have the most fun. Thanks for your kind words on my blog.
Your Eyore friend.

Char said...

Wow, Jamie!!!! What an amazing honor for your husband (and the wonderful woman by his side). I'm so glad lots of photos were taken that night and that you were willing to share them with us. You look so beautiful in all of them.
Happy new year,
Mary Lou

Corie said...

What a night indeed! Well, I think of anyone....dad is the most deserving of this great achievement. He has had so many great years with Discount and who could forget one of the best (well if not the TOP store) stores the last several years. He is a smart business man and that must be the reason he is so successful in all areas of his life. And who could forget his leading lady...YOU! No man could achieve this much alone! You 2 together can do anything and I know that Will and I look up to you guys so much! I am SO excited for the several trips you have planned and the one HUGE trip! A trip of a lifetime it will be!!!:)
