and the winner is...

First of all: i know all it seems like i do on here is brag about how wonderful my husband is and how much fun we have. And, if i had kids, i'd probably blog about how awesome they are too. I'm definitely not saying that we or our life is perfect, i'm merely saying that there's no two ways about it: my husband is a stud and i love him and we do a ton of fun things. So, with that being said, let the brag fest commence...

Thursday night we attended the Utah Student Top 25 Entrepreneur Awards Gala. This is an event that recognizes the top 25 student entrepreneurs in the state of Utah, from several universities from across the state. There were a few hundred people at the Grand America, including the other contestants, the governor, and investors and guests. First there was a reception with everyone mingling and then we all went into the ballroom and had a delicious dinner as we listened to a few speakers. After dinner the awards started! The announcer started at #25 and worked his way up. It was SO exciting as we got closer and closer to the top and their name still hadn't been called! When we got to the top 5 they showed a video. Then, they announced the top 5 and... THEY WON! Meter Solutions got first place! Paul and Taylor are the #1 student entrepreneurs for the sate of Utah. WOO HOO! They gave an acceptance speech and Paul even had Missy and I come up to the stage and be recognized for our support. It was so exciting to be there and get all dressed up and meet so many people and be a part of something so exciting. Paul works so hard and it makes me so happy to see him be recognized for all his hard work. Also we were so glad that Lorraine got to stay in town for it and be there too!

  4. HOW EXCITING!!! That is so cool. Congrats to Paul and his partner. Is this the equivalent of the UEC (Utah Entrepreneurial Challenge)? Wondered if they changed the name or is the UEC still to come? Anyway, I remember how exciting it was when we won...and am so proud of you guys! You look fabulous by the way!
