!! Account Salesman of the Year !!

I would like to take this chance to brag about my wonderful, hard-working husband, Sam. I know he won't necessarily share his great accomplishment this year with anyone except our parents and Grandparents... so I've decided to be the shameless one and tell everyone we know! (or at least everyone who reads this blog..) Sam was named Account Salesman of the Year at his work. He has worked incredibly hard and has earned every bit of this hard-won title. Toward the end of the year we weren't sure he'd make his goals and yet he was blessed so greatly by Heavenly Father and was able to use his dedication along with Heavenly Father's help and answered prayers to accomplish what he was trying for. I'm so proud of him, he really is an amazing Husband, Father, Son, Friend, and most importantly my best friend. Congratulations, honey. You deserve it!

Along with his accomplishments, he separately qualified for "President's Club", this is a trip that's given as a reward for getting sales beyond the yearly quotas. This year the trip is to New Zealand!! I know, it feels weird just saying it. It will be an opportunity of a lifetime, and we are so grateful for the amazing blessings that have been given to us. I don't know why we have recieved these blessings, but we feel very humbled. I also feel like the luckiest girl in the world, because we will happen to be there on my birthday!

I didn't know very much about it so I decided to look it up. New Zealand is the island southeast of Australia. It's amazingly diverse and is where they filmed all of the Lord of The Rings movies, among many others. It's so amazing to think of how many beautiful places there are on this earth! What a blessing we enjoy living here with Heavenly Father's countless creations.
