Excuse me, excuse me…everyone…we would like to get started now. First off, I’d like to thank all of you for coming today and for your participation in The Great Shed Move of 2008. Special thanks to Brittany, Chloe, Jamila, Kanani, and Mateo for making yummy cookies and to Ian for showering, we’re all VERY appreciative.
We’re gathered here today on this wonderful technological medium that Vannie doesn’t know about called a ‘blog’ to pay homage to one among us who has risen above the rest…Nick, please get off your chair…ok…thank you…anyway…ok. We’re gathered here today to recognize Mrs. Patience for her contributions to the grandiose undertaking today. We present her with this Engineering Award, specially customized for her by choosing the color scheme that matched most closely alphabetically with her name, Parrot.
Although none of us remembers specifically what her ideas may have been, or even if they were even really that great, we’re sure she must have had at least one. And if there were more than one, we can pretty much assume there were probably less than 2,076,284, which is a good thing because, really, who has that kind of time?
So please join me in raising your mouse high and giving a rousing version of The Watermelon Cheer to Patience.
Thank you.
(thunderous applause)

I'm so honored to be the recipient of such an esteemed award. I don't really know what to say. But, I'd like to thank: Mom for her Patience, Dad for teaching me how to ride a bike without training wheels, Missy for participating in "Squirrel" with me at various campouts, Linda for going on a 10K walk with LeGrand, Charity for loaning us her Expedition (I have a cooler called an expedition, too), Justin for consoling my husband with his admission of being a Twinkie Man, Brittany for controlling my children with those aforementioned cookies...they were gingersnaps, Ian for continuing to shower and maintaining a decent haircut. And, above all I'd like to thank myself. For without me, this would never have been possible. So, it is with great humility that I will print this award out (in high def) and hang it on the fridge. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
