Proud wife…Much deserved!

I am so proud of Jared he earned the Sports information Director of the Year in all of NAIA, I was really proud!  This award is very hard to get only past recipients can vote and the nomination process is very long and intensive.  Thank you to his boss Steve Cast for nominating and going through all the work, thank you to all the voters for realizing how much my husband has done for not only Briar Cliff but for his career.  To receive his award we went to Orlando, FL which was a nice little get away.  His mom and I went from June 7-10 and Jared had to leave on the 9th to get back for Heelan Regional Championship.  Since he was the head coach this year he really could miss the game.  Like I said it was a quick trip but was a lot of fun.  We got in on Friday and went to the pool and hung out it was so nice, then we went off the resort to get some dinner.  Saturday and Sunday Jared had to work on his speech a lot so we didn't do a whole but stayed around the hotel we stayed at the Marriott World Center, VERY nice.  Every morning Jared and I got up to work out in their awesome facility.  Sunday night was the dinner and his award presentation so we went to that which was at a country club off resort.  After returning to the hotel we changed and went to Downtown Disney.  The SID Conference was going on at the same time so they had an event there at the bowling alley, it was a lot of fun!  Monday Jared had to leave and Janet and I hung by the pool most of day then went to the outlet mall that was only minutes from us.  They had a LULU LEMON outlet store…can you say trouble!!  It was fun but spent too much money.  Then we went to dinner and back to hotel to get packed up as we flew out the following morning.

The reason he got his award…always working even on vacation

Ou hôtel pool…so nice

Jerry Hansen was who presented Jared with his award, he received this same award exactly 20 years prior when he was the SID at Briar Cliff, pretty neat!

Jared with his speech, he did GREAT!

Some may ask why we didn't take boys, We really wanted to however with the trip so quick made it tough to justify.  Thanks to Leslie (our roommate) watched them!
