Celebrate Good Times!

First off, thank you for everyone who commented on the last post...it was great to see that there are actually other people that read our blog :) (And it cured my little fit I was having about never getting any comments!)

Nicholas and I have had a couple of great things happen at our jobs recently. First, Nicholas was awarded the Project Accountant of the Year Award for his office. They took his picture and sent out a big release. They also gave him a nice glass block, etched with his name, for his award along with a giftcard to a great chain of restaurants down here.
I was very excited (finally someone other than myself noticed all of the hard work and late nights!) and so I made a few signs for him to find when he came home :)
We celebrated with a toast of Martinellis cider (a leftover bottle from Katrina & Gordon's wedding!) Last week we went out to Texas Roadhouse with my parents to celebrate and Nick indulged in steak and ribs while watching March Madness...I think he is getting too spoiled! :)
I also had a big accomplishment at work this last week- I completed my Associate Bronze Instructor Certification. Basically I had to demonstrate that I could dance, teach, and technically/theoretically understand 10 dances (5 steps in each with anywhere from 2-5 variations on each step, both as a man and a lady). It has definitely taken some work for me to become proficient in Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Cha Cha, Rumba, Swing, Hustle, Mambo, Merengue, and Samba. I was nervous about the last part I had to do in front of my boss; when I got home that day Nicholas had brought me the most beautiful tulips to congratulate me. :) I think he is trying to win husband of the year again...however Koshka is not currently in the running for cat of the year because she ate a few of the tulips while we were sleeping. All in all though, we have had a good couple of weeks!
