It was also lovely to meet your husband whom, to my understanding, attended his very first toastmasters club meeting lastnight! 😮 very awesome👍👏

And lastly, can I do a shout out to Sonny who finished work a little early so I can borrow his car to get to Ngaio to witness this wonderful moment which I did not want to miss. Hope your boss didn't mind son and thanks heaps! ❤️
