fifteen years ago I was getting ready to graduate high school...(really...did I really say fifteen years ago?). Anyway...we went to the end of the year Athletic Banquet and my mom was awarded the Gene Webb Memorial Award. It is named after a super PHS supporter and it is meant to honor an individual who supports PHS athletics. She'd been the Booster Club treasurer and a huge volunteer/supporter of most things Prosser. It was a surprise to her that she won it...but I knew it was coming and it is a fun memory.
Well, last night Sean and I went to the Athletic Banquet and he was honored with that same award. I kinda sorta thought it might be coming but it was still a fun surprise and he was really pleased and touched that he'd be recognized. Afterwards people were congratulating him and saying to me "aren't you so proud?"...and I would smile and say yes. I have told Sean many times that one of the things I value in him as a husband is that he is a good man...he's noble and honorable and kind. But last night it was fun to hear from everyone else those same sentiments.
Plus...given my previous post about my mom liking him more than me:-)...I think it is so fitting and precious and poignant that the two people I've loved most in my life have won the same award and for the same reason...selfless giving. Man...she would have loved to have seen the look on his face last night:-)

That is so cool!! Congrats to Sean, I can't think of a more loyal PHS football (& other sports) supporter! I bet your mom knows (and is telling everyone about it!) :)
