DEECO turns 20!

I recently traveled to NC for DEECO's 20th anniversary/birthday! For those of you who don't know, this is the business that my father started from scratch, back in 1990, after working in environmental industry for 20+ previous years.  The company does stack sampling. All five of us DeWees family members have worked for the company, my sister and I in the summers as teenagers, my brother for 17 years, my mom still does. So as you can tell, there is a lot invested into the company, and we are all very proud of this 20 year milestone. 

The company celebrated with a dinner for the employees at the Chop House by the RDU airport. The food there was WONDERFUL!!! My steak was so tender (I had to rush through it though, because I had a grumpy toddler). The best part of the place though was that is was next to an empty lot, which presented a backdrop for great pictures of the girls and me.

Also, my sister, Daniel and I worked on a "birthday" cake for the celebration. We made the logo 3D of sorts. Andi really did most of the work, but we were there to support her. She is SO SO SO amazing what she can do with cakes, especially since this is just a hobby she has just picked up on her own and just reads on the internet how to do everything. 

 

Also, all the employees got bonuses and one lucky employee won $2000 towards a family vacation! So the company also gave "birthday" gifts to all the children in attendance as well. Here are the gifts that Reese and Brady received:
