Yesterday was the annual Volunteer Appreciation Picnic for work. For once the weather was nice..the wind made it chilly, but usually it's cloudy and cold and blah. We had food and then Mike (the Executive Director) handed out the three awards we always give. He got to the second one and said it was the Betsy Robertson award, which is for someone who has made a big contribution to the Literacy Council (I've met Betsy, she's a judge at the Biz Bee and very nice). I was looking around wondering which person had donated money to the Literacy Council (that's who it usually goes to). Then Mike started saying "the award is going to a young lady who has volunteered here many years. She always comes in in the morning with a smile on her face and I always know what the weather is like outside." I was like "that sounds like me! But it can't be me!" Mike said other nice things I can't remember (good thing mom filmed it!) and then said "the award goes to Heather Moritz!" I was like "ME?!!" That was a COMPLETE surprise haha! Becky said the look on my face was priceless and that alone was worth coming to the event. :P I went up and people took pics of Mike and I. People were cheering and clapping like crazy!! My face was probably so red haha. As I went to sit down Mike was like "if you want to know about glaciers or where the best smoothies in town are talk to Heather!" I'm amazed they kept it so secret..mom and Nina had already known! (I was wondering why she said "I have to be beautiful for my daughter on her special day!" when I asked why she was wearing makeup. I was like "huh??" haha) I never expected to get an award! I love the Literacy Council, they are so awesome. <3 So many nice surprises lately!
