Okay, I am getting cheesey with my titles but, better than predictable! Well if you didn't know, Chad got inducted in to Springdale High School's Hall of Fame! Chad is so low key and would never make a big deal about it and to be frank I am the ONLY person he has told! I on the other hand have no accomplishments worth bragging about so, I will just go ahead and share his! He is very worthy of this title for his basketball and academic accomplishments. He holds Sprindale's highest scorer record and has a zillion awards from high school and college! Many people have great athletic ability and hard work but, my Chad also has integrity! It is one of my favorite things about him! He is not a lover of money, fame, or any recognition; he is kind to EVERYONE no matter who they are and he is super smart! I could go on about how wonderful he is but, I am sure if you have read my blog at all you have inferred it with the way he is with his family. We are all crazy about him! My grandmother was probably one of his biggest fans! I wish so badly she could have seen and heard about this. He, nor I expected this banquet to be a very big deal but, we excited to see the large crowd (like 300 people) and set up. We had a photo of the whole family there but, the photographer has it! Chad's entire family came except his two grandmothers. My parents came and were big supporters as well. I laugh because Dad knew so many people there! His old high school coach was getting inducted and there were a ton of coaches there! Coaching is a small world! 
Harry was a bit disappointed Chad didn't get a trophy! He said he just got a picture of it(not sure what "it" is).Chad with another inductee he played ball with and his former high school coach! We love Coach Smith, such a nice guy who loves his players.
Another very special surprise was the Morgans there! Coach Morgan and his wife, Christy came to support Chad! We also love the Morgans! He is the Harding coach and we have kept in touch with them since we have been married! They were at our wedding and I love talking to Christy! We feel beyond blessed that they are still our friends after coaching Chad in college.
Precious Brooklyn was very good at keeping Harry company! I kind of wish everyone in the world could get time around Brooklyn, she makes the world happier!
Chad's last minute speech that was AMAZING! I was so proud of his speaking skills!
Jeff is also a very special friend to our family! Chad spoke about how big of an influence Jeff had on him in high school. He invested a whole summer into working Chad out and getting him ready for the varsity team.
Afterwards we swung by the Ware's for a little Ricks! I told Chad I was so glad he got in the hall of fame so we could get celebration cake! Chad's mom is very good about making special occasions even more special! She appreciates the "sweet" things in life!
I am sure I will have more pictures to post but, this is all I have now! Not trying to show off, just documenting and giving a little recognition to an honor that is not so easy to come by! I went to a high school with 1/6th of what Chad's was and I am probably forgotten...well expect for Facebookers!

Congratulations to Chad!!! What an honor! (I am not at all surprised though.) I love the picture of the four of you! I think you have the right to brag about this, it's a very BIG accomplishment that he should be so proud of!!
Thrilled for Chad!!!! Thought about him yesterday while we were in Dallas for our anniversary!! Wish we could have been there!!
Very cool! I would be bragging on my hubby if he was honored like that too. Tell him congrats from us!
