Quick, happy announcement… My fellow Datachix, Julie Smith, has received the SQL Server MVP award for 2013! Also, I’ve been renewed as a SQL Server MVP for 2013. What does this mean? Yeah… 100% of the people who blog on this site (all two of us) are MVPs!
So, Julie, while I am not the first to congratulate you, let me be the first to do it on our blog.
On a personal note, I am grateful and humbled to be a part of the MVP community for another year. Having experienced 12 months of the program, I’m honored that Microsoft saw fit to include me for another year.
As a bonus, here’s a picture of Julie being awesome:
Rock on, my friend!

p.s. Note to self: It’s been a while since you blogged about anything, Audrey. Get your act together and post more often! (Nodding…)



Congratulations to you both!
So awesome! Congrats!
A hearty congrats to both of you! Nobody deserves more honor!
Matt, Philleo, and David – Thanks! We’re currently planning how to celebrate. I can assure you there is wine and food involved.
–Audrey
congrats,Julie – also thanks for providing the pic of Julie being awesome – we’re going to standardize that for all our data folk site presence.
