Congrats,

Congratulations Paul! I thought there was a rule against having two MVPs at the same address… Anyway, it is very well deserved!
Congrats!! You deserve it.
Congratulations.
Did you really have to marry an MVP to get the title? :-D
Congratulations!

So, all that money spent on your education and all the deprivation we suffered to get you through school has at last proved worthwhile. We are not worthy…….. ( your humble parents )
