No Fool's this April!

It's April, can you believe it? I know Zak and I not only can't believe it but are ready to get to work! All though it feels like we really never recovered from last years craziness, we are excited at the chance to better our business yet again. Zak and Ocho have implemented a lot of things to help better the efficiency of the company. We have also hired another Matt to kick the lawn maintenance division into gear.I know what you are thinking another Matt how do you keep them all straight? Don't worry he very quickly earned the nickname of Patch, which is short for patchouli, as he is some what of a hippie!! So all and all things seem to be starting off great for us, if we can just get the weather to be consistent it would be fantastic...living in Colorado I just don't see the weather ever being consistent so we will just push through it!

In other news, Zak and I decided that during the month of April we would be taking a ride on the sober train. That's right people, no drinking for 30 days!! We are doing it to prove we don't need alcohol to have fun, and also since alcoholism seems to run in both of our families it is better to be safe than sorry. It is something we tried to get a few other people to join in on with no luck, but it is for a very serious reason, make fun all you want!! Zak has said he will drink a beer on the 10th since it is Matt the Ocho's birthday,(One Beer as in 10-15) I think I'm going to go for the full 30. Don't I sound so tough it is only the 2nd people, just ask me in a few weeks how it is going!! I would be lying if I said it was easy, because its not. The part that is funny too me is that many times in my life I have just chosen not to drink for whatever reason, but the past two days have been a real eye opener. I would never say that Zak and I are alcoholics, that would be pushing it, but we do have a few beers at dinner and more than a few on the weekends...it just hits at how much you don't think about opening the refrigerator and grabbing that frosty beverage! It for sure is going to be a long journey, but I think I will come out the other end a stronger person!! 2 days down 28 to go,Wish us luck and oh by the way Happy Easter!!!!
