Partner
He did it y'all!
My amazing, hard-working husband made Partner at his firm and it has been one celebration after another! It has been a long road, sometimes very trying, often frustrating, and without question our entire family sacrificed, but we have believed in Shannon and his abilities. We have cheered him on, and with our support and the encouragement of amazing co-workers around the globe he made it happen. He. Did. It!
Since Friday the champagne has been flowing and we've slept little. We don't care. Our excitement has been through the roof and for good reason. We are so proud of Shannon we could all burst! What made the moment all the more sweet was that he made Partner with a friend we have known since Charlotte.
After an entire day of toasts and parties spouses were invited in to celebrate both. Cars picked us up and brought us to dine in a private room at Spago in Beverly Hills, and from arrival to departure late that night everything was sheer perfection. I'm pretty sure I've never had food or wine that memorable. And the company? Wonderful.
A part of me wishes I'd brought my camera but if I had God knows what would have been missed. Hearing about my husband from the other Partners and co-workers, the laughter and conversation...getting pictures after was much better (especially since many were candid). Thank you Amy!
And thank YOU. To our family and friends who have been with us on this journey-since the beginning, as you've grown to know us through our moves-thank you for your help, your blessings, and without question your moral support. Those are things that make moving mountains possible and we are incredibly grateful.
We'll end the weekend on a quieter, calmer note, but these will be memories we cherish for the rest of our lives. Congratulations babe! You made it!
