Eric had a big night last night. Well, I guess we all had a big night last night because we got to be the proud family. He has started an institute in the University where he teaches to facilitate structual engineering projects and research in Latin America. Last night was the inaguration of the institute culminating a couple of years of visioncasting and a lot of hard work once we got to the country up to this point. He is amazed at how easily it has all come together and has a graduate student and two interns working with him. There are so many other types of engineering projects he could be working on and a lot more moneymaking ventures he could spend his time doing, but he feels very strongly that a research institute like this is the most meaningful way he can spend his time and one that has the potential to make a lasting impact on the country. I'm so proud of how focused he is and how hard he works to do what he envisions. He has that amazing ability to have an idea and put it into motion. I'm sure the institute will be beneficial to the structural advancement of the country.
And, the event was also attended by the former president of the Dominican Republic, whom I got to meet. That was kind of exciting.
Ok...done bragging about my man.
