David's MAI

Last night, I had the honor of attending David's designation meeting in Atlanta. He recently received his MAI Designation, and the Atlanta chapter of the Appraisal Institute recognizes the new recipients. David's boss, Rob Jaeger, gave a short toast in front of the chapter and presented David with his certificate.

It was definitely official when this packet came in the mail!

He even gets a "pin"!

And these announcements too.

To commemorate his achievement, I found this one-of-a-kind cuff links. They're made of recycled silver and vintage Georgia maps. After all, a map is an appraiser's best friend!

On the big screen!!

After a dinner of chicken and veggies followed by creme brulee, Rob manned the podium to present David's certificate.

**I am so sorry for these blurry pics! There was a photographer there who was surely taking better photos.**

And in true David style, he gave the nicest remarks to the crowd. Really, it was perfect.

David's gracious co-workers drove into Atlanta to celebrate the event too!
L-R: Cliff, Charles, Richard, Rob, David, George, Steve, and Brent
They're all so proud of him!

And here is the man of the night with his proud wife! I am sure he'll think this post is super cheese ball, but I am so proud of him and all of his hard work to reach this goal before 30. Way to go babe! I love you!
