Our Silent Hero

We made it back from Houston in one piece. The three of us went down there yesterday so that we could attend a luncheon at the yearly Texas conference for emergency dispatchers. Wesley was nominated for and received a Silent Hero award. Dispatchers across the state of Texas are nominated by their supervisors, and some are chosen to receive the award. It is given to those who exhibit excellence in their job performance as well as going beyond to assist and coordinate emergency responses. They have good attitudes, are flexible, and work well as part of a team. Mia did great on the trip. It didn't take any longer to drive to Houston than it does to drive to Heavener. The driving time was about the same. The conference was at the Omni Houston Hotel, and it was Mia's first time to stay in a hotel. At least half of our luggage was her's. She slept in between us and did very well. She was Little Miss Popular at the luncheon. There were probably a few hundred people there. We couldn't go anywhere without someone commenting on how pretty she was and wanting to talk to her. She was a hit. We weren't even in Houston for 24 hours, but we had a good time. Congratulations Daddy!
