As if you didn't know...

Saturday night was the year end celebration for the jewelry lady group.  We had dinner at Christie's in Salem.  It was super yummy.  

The prize table was all laid out.  I was foaming at the mouth just waiting for the big moment.  

To find out...was I the top dog or not?  

After dinner we were ready for the big reveal.  And you can act shocked (I didn't), I was in fact, top retailer in our group for 2011.  I had 41 shows (!) & around $24,000.00 retail.  Gasp!  

Can't you see the shocked look on my face here as I strike a pose?!

I got another thirty one bag with lots of goodies inside.

Turns out I was also the #2 sponsor for our group.  I was surprised about that one.  I got $50 in free jewelry!  Score!

AND, perhaps the one that I got that was the most special was the Servants Heart award.  That's the one you get for doing good for others & helping, etc.  (basically for just.being.awesome.)  

Here's a hilarious story:  They always try to include the spouses/significant others during our par-tay so they play games & ask the guys questions.  This year they asked questions about the jewelry biz & whoever answered first got a ticket.  We weren't allowed to help.  I was sitting in the back of the room & B-rad was up front & I yelled, "Ok Mac, better have your A game on!"  Of course, they all laughed & starting telling B-rad he better be careful since I'm so competitive.  They asked questions about the bonuses & percentage free, etc.  Then they asked, "If your wife was on a football team, What position would she play?  Quarterback, running back (& I don't know the rest- I don't know football!)"  B-rad sat for a second & said, "My wife would be the coach because she'd be telling everyone what to do."  

Roars of laughter from the room, including me.  I.love.it!
