Tim's Big Day

Last night we attended Tim's Grand Opening of his new facility. It is finally complete and now the next phase of construction begins in a matter of days on the golf course. We arrived before 5pm and members started rolling in shortly after, walked around, and checked out the beautiful new place. I could tell Tim was a bit nervous, partly because he couldn't sit still but mostly because he told me he felt like throwing up!

After about an hour, the members gathered and Tim gave an incredible speech and introduced the kids and me to the membership. He is such a natural and so charismatic. No one would ever know he was nervous the way he spoke with such ease, cracked some very funny jokes, and kept the members engaged. In all honesty, I had all intentions of taking pictures during his speech, but I was too interested in what he had to say that I forgot! Needless to say, I was beaming with pride and admiration, and completely enjoying his moment. Seeing him in his element and witnessing the passion he has for what he does was such a great reminder of how lucky we are. Lucky that we have both found our calling; lucky that we both love what we do for a living and truly enjoy our careers. Sure, some days are good and some are bad, but last night was a great example and reminder for Tim that hard work can and does pay off. Congratulations Tim! What a great night!
