Nike Maxim Awards

Last night Chris and I went to the 2009 Nike Maxim Award Ceremony for IT. It was a formal affair, so we got to get all dressed up. Chris and his colleagues were finalists for two of the awards. Here is us leaving the house....

The event was held at the Tiger Woods Building on the Nike Campus. First there was a cocktail hour, which we missed most of, and then the ceremony started in a large auditorium. They put on a good show! The awards were specially made black shoes with purple laces. They are pretty fancy.

That's right, Chris and his teams won not one but TWO of these Maxim Awards! Considering there are only 11 awards given out, and over 200 nominees, this was a great accomplishment! Good job honey, we are proud of you! (Too bad they aren't the right size) :)
After the awards were all given out, we were served a really great dinner of steak and salmon with spinach and potatoes. There was a live band serenading us throughout the dinner. Overall, it was a really fun evening! It was nice to have a fancy evening out away from the kids. Thanks to Grandma for babysitting!
