Matthew is a Hero with a Heart






This past weekend Matt and I went to an awards banquet for an organization called TIP (Trama Intervention Program). The organization helps people through tramatic inccidences and nominates those service men and women rather it be Police Officers, Firefighters, Medical Professionals and so on who have gone the extra mile to be compassionate to those they come across in duty to recieve what they call a "Hero with a Heart" award. There were 13 people being honored that night (Matthew being one of them). So the organization held a banquet for these people and presented each nominee with a plaque. It was funny cause when it was Matt's turn to recieve his award they posted a picture of him in his uniform and the ladies at the table behind me all gasped saying " Oh my goodness he is sooo young!" After the awards banquet they came up to meet the oh so young officer and decided after standing next to his pregnant wife that he might be a little older than they had thought. Then when they asked him if this was going to be our first child and he said,"No our third" they were floored, and I couldn't help but smile :). At least one of us still looks like a spring chick! Well the banquet was nice and I was so proud of my husband! The only down side to this wonderful night is that it fell on the same day as our neice, Kayla's baptism. I swear Matthew and I could do nothing for months and then everything important to us falls on the same darn day! So Kayla we hope that you had a very special day! We are so proud of you and sorry that we couldn't be there!
