bursting with pride: rbc MARRIOTT GM OF THE YEAR 2008

this is my rockstar of a husband:

this is him posing with the massive amounts of awards he and his hotel won at the 2008 courtyard by marriott convention--

there were 800 general managers

and there was 1 general manager of the year--RUSS.

i couldn't be any prouder!!!!

when we got home this is what we saw:

and this pretty much sums up how we feel about him:

**on a side note: i posted this video last year of matt harding--click play and then press the red 'HD' button on the bottom of the video and watch it in high definition--it might take a little longer to load, but to be able to see it so vividly is pretty heart-warming.

anyway, one of my favorite parts of the night was when marriott showed this video on huge screens for the audience. when the video was almost over, the music continued to play, the lights went up, and out came matt onto the stage. he started his 'dance', and then all of the marriott big-wigs got up and danced with him for the next few minutes. it was pure AWESOMENESS.
