Most of our blog is dedicated to the youngest members of our family. And truthfully, they are the most interesting ones to read about. They are always saying or doing noteworthy (or just plain hilarious) things that I want to document for the future. But today I want to focus on my awesome husband Matt. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my hubby turned the big 3-0! In addition to a fun surprise party, I wanted to present him with another gift... a night away - just the two of us. We worked with the grandparent's calendar and last Friday was the big night. The kids had a blast and probably didn't even notice that we were gone. And we did the same. We spent a night at the Hotel Palomar in Dallas complete with shopping, a movie, breakfast and lunch at Central 214 (currently the location for a chef reality show - The Naughty Kitchen), a massage for Matt, a manicure for me, lots of great talking time, connecting, and relaxation. Just what we needed! Life was so easy without a house and kids around for the night. We got along perfectly :)
My man has done something else recently that I am very proud of. Recently, his Dad has been having a hard time at work... because the architecture firm he was working for was going out of business. He was faced with many tough decisions because he was the President of the company. After sorting through all of the options for the future, he settled upon starting a new architecture firm with many of the people in his Dallas office right now. So he enlisted the help of his very talented son to put together a website for his new company so they could have a presence on the web to show their customers and promote their new business. Working with a graphic designer for the firm, Matt put together an amazing website. He worked MANY, many hours on it last week putting in a lot of late nights. But when you see the results, it was well worth it. I am so proud of him on many levels. I am impressed (as usual) with his talent as a programmer - even doing web development which is not his main area of expertise. I am also so impressed with him as a son. When his Dad asked him for help, he didn't hesitate for a second about helping him. He stepped right up and gave it everything he had!

I love you honey and am so thankful for you!

WOW! I too am proud to call him my brother. Very proud. I had no idea about the D2 site. Well done Matt! I love you both.
Somewhere back in the Eighties - I think it was at a "Math Counts" competition that Matt won (easily) - two things became evident:
1. Matt was a wondeful, hard-working genius.
2. I would not have a clue exactly WHAT it is that he does so well, just that it would be brilliant. I could tell that much by the looks, the body english, the comments, the accolades, and the trophies that flowed to him after he accomplished such an, er, thing.
Thus it was again with www.d2-architecture.com. He knocked himself out at a moment's notice and 48 hours later, voila! ... appeared on the internet this GREAT little bug-free website. I have no idea what happened in between.
But I know this ... I am very, very grateful, and very, very proud. And very, very happy that he takes after his mother.
God bless you, kid!!!
Love,
Dad
