a year ago this weekend, mark and i attended the malibu arts festival – 1. to enjoy the event itself, but 2. because mark was in desperate need of a job and a friend of mine {who was working the event} knew of a sales position with the malibu chamber of commerce. as we walked up and down the aisles, admiring the work of local artists and businesses, she explained the position to mark – he’d be in charge of ad space and membership sales, also acting as the executive director’s right hand man. sounds good…we’ll take it! in a matter of days, the job was his.
flash forward to this weekend…long story, short – the previous executive director was let go and mark is now “acting” executive director. this year, the arts festival is his event. my husband is the boss. and i am so unbelievably proud of him. he’s worked long hours, late nights and although we haven’t seen him much this weekend, the event appears to be a big success.
and there are perks to being the boss’s wife – like not paying the $10 parking fee….
yeah, i’m a pretty big deal.
Yay for Mark! That is so exciting!!
Yay for Mark! :) (And for your perks, of course!)
Wow! What an inspiring series of events. So happy for your husband. Love this outfit too.
It’s so cool that so much good stuff has happened for you both…within the space of a year.
Cute skirt!
