Let me preface this by saying that my husband is a scratch golfer who competes around the state and country on the amateur level. So he has plenty of silver cups and crystal bowls for his efforts.
We in the top five were given trophies...he was a little surprised that was it given the time and energy everyone in Vegas had devoted. I had not even unpacked and my son got a hold of my trophy. I swear within five minutes he had that disassembled. Can you say ,"Choking hazard?"
Today my husband said he had as surprise for me. Surely he wasn't pregnant?? He said he "wants to make the presentation." Such golfer's talk. He had ordered a crystal trophy for me engraved as Mrs. Illinois 2007. He also had them create this enormous (think the Stanley Cup) crystal Vase that I swear is two feet tall. He had it engraved with my name and Mrs. United States 2007 Top Five Finalist.
Being my biggest cheerleader,he feels being Mrs. Illinois is a huge deal. He also felt being 4Th runner-up was a great accomplishment and deserved a trophy that can not be taken apart by a toddler.He told me how proud he was of my hard work. How sweet is that?
