4 Years Together.

Todd and I just celebrated our 4th anniversary. I love his so much! This year I really wanted to go to a murder mystary dinner. The theme was Billianaries Maskarade Cub. We were encouraged to wear anything "rich" and masks. Of course Todd and I had a blast getting all dressed up. Luky me the red dress Todd bought me for our first anniversary still fit. Now we just had to find something for Todd to wear. We went to a shop to reant a tux but this is not Utah and they are much more expensive and you cant rent one in three days. Oops. So we pressed our luck and went to GoodWill and hit the jack pot! We found a really nice black suite for 16 bucks and better yet it fit! We had such a great time at our dinner.

The day of our anniversary Momo and Papa were so sweet to take Zac for us so we could go to dinner and a movie. Being the our anniversay fell on a Thursday Todd was able to take Friday off. When Zac got home from his grandparents we all went to the zoo. It was Zac's fisrt time to go and he had a blast! I think the highlight was the Parrot Paradise we went in and feed the birds. Zac wanted to grab them. He was so excited when they landed on his stick.

Working for my parents.

I have gotten several of these types of calls and I just want to vent. I took over managing the TAS department of my parents business about two years ago. Knowing absolutely NOTHING about TAS (Texas Accessibility Standards) I had to learn and was directed what our policies and procedures are by my father who is also the owner of the business. Which makes me want to tell people I DIDN'T MAKE THIS CRAP UP ON MY OWN.

When people call me and go on and on about how "their company" operates by being billed and pay later well that is fanSTINKINtastic for you. However, I don't do work for which I am not payed for, and our company operated by being payed before you receive it's services.

What gets under my skin even more is when they want to go over my head to "fix" this "problem" they are having with our policy. Being the manager of the department going over my head would be to talk to the owner of the company Tom. I know this is bratty but whatever, it just makes me want to say.... "You can talk to Tom if you'd like but this is his policy not mine and by the way he is MY DAD so go ahead see who's side he's on".

I never actually say that... but man sometimes I want to.

Halloween!

Being the dork I am I decided we should go themed for Halloween. We did it last year and it was so much fun I decided to do it again, and again, and well at least till Zac is old enough to tell me I'm lame and wants to do his own thing. At the Martin family reunion this year Todd got a bunch of stuff from his youth that had been left at his parents house. In one of the bags we found a Blue M&M costume his mom had made him. It still fit giving us the idea that I should make one for Zac and me and there you go. Being the only girl in the group of course I was green. I wanted to make Zac the yellow one but couldn't find the right color in the right fabric so we settled and made him the red one. I think they turned out pretty good. What do you thing?
