San Diego Day 4

Day 4 was our busiest but most amazing day. Greg and I went to a Good Neighbor meeting. It was so cool to sit around the table with past Good Neighbor winners. This year was their 10th year so the table was pretty big. We sat around and talked about what worked for our individual charities and what didn't. They also asked Greg to be a mentor for the next year. It was really cool.
After that, we picked up his parents and we got ready for the conference where Greg would be getting his award.

While Greg was backstage getting ready we decided to stop by the Good Neighbor booth and get a couple of copies of Greg's cover for Realtor Magazine. Penny was so excited she grabbed quite a few copies.

I'm kissing a picture of Greg here. He's so stinking handsome I couldn't help myself!

Here's a picture of the trophy. It's so pretty!

The 2009 Good Neighbor Award winners!

After they got their awards Condoleeza Rice spoke. She was amazing!

After the conference, we went to a dinner where Greg and the other recipients were given their grant checks and Lowes gift cards. They also had to give a speech about what they were going to do with the money. Greg as always impressed me. He is always so calm and collected. He's amazing.

Here's Greg giving his speech. After, we had an amazing speaker. Her name was Liz. I can't remember her last name, but Lifetime did a movie about her life called, "Homeless to Harvard." Her story was Heartwrenching, but at the same time so motivating. She said something that I really loved. She was talking about giving back to your community and she said, "You don't have to fix the whole problem, you only have to do your part." She really opened my eyes to alot of things. Greg and I came home so motivated to keep going, keep trying to help. I will forever remember Liz, her story and what she told us about giving. And since tomorrow is Thanksgiving I want to end my blog by saying how thankful I am for my life, for my kids, my family and for my sweet sweet husband who has shown our family how to give back.
