Let's Hear it For the Boy! Let's Hear it for My Man!

*name the movie that has that song*

He did it!
 Steve graduated from Auction School as 3rd in his class, 
AND he did his first auction that same night!
It was a GREAT success!  
He was poised, commanded the stage, was energetic, and got several people involved in quite the bidding wars!  

Even I had to hold my hand down as he encouraged people to bid; there was something hypnotic, like we didn't want to let Steve down!  

Here's a video of him, but I was so far away, you really can't see anything, so don't try.  Just turn your speakers up to hear him :)

...and it kept going to $2100 for a pair of Blackhawks Tickets!
He raised TWICE as much as they were expecting.  The event was a benefit auction, raising money for The First Tee, an amazing organization teaching life skills through golf.  We DID get sucked in, though and bid on {and won} a silent auction item.  We didn't need it, but we were sucked in.  Oh well :)  Who couldn't use a day at the spa?
It felt GREAT to get dressed up to go on a REAL high-class date to the event!
Too bad we didn't win the $3000 Napa Valley getaway and hot air balloon ride.

I think Footloose is the movie. And I know that I could sure use a day at the spa. Congrats to Steve!

Congrats! We all knew you were great at being an auctioneer. Glad you get to do it in real life now (though I know RS was great practice!)
