In Which I Get My First Trophy


Remember the American Mother's Gala I wrote about last week? Well, I went. And guess who else went? Robert! At the last minute he was able to go and so we were able to both have a lovely salmon dinner and chat with other lovely couples at table #9.

He escorted me to the stage and I watched as my friend Liz became the 2013 Oregon Young Mother of the Year. (yay Liz!) The evening ended with me getting a Willow Tree statue of mother and child on a lovely base with my name engraved on it.

It was all very nice. And I'm glad that Robert was able to walk me to the stage.

  2. What a happy moment! But, sometimes it makes me sad that I don't know Robert at all. This is one of those times. Wanna take a trip to the East? Free room and board!

  4. That's a great picture of you guys! (And that looks like a pretty major napkin in the corner. Was Jonah hired to provide origami-d napkins?)

    Congrats, great mom!
