I don't think there's anything wrong with being a bit sentimental when it comes to your company's survival. And, since I didn't really think our little venture would last much more than a few months when we started it way back in 1994, I'm always surprised when October comes around. That's the month that we started the company, and we always have a week of celebrations at the company capped by the biggest party that we can muster, for our employees and a guest of their choice. This year makes TWELVE YEARS since we started the original company, and NINE YEARS since we turned it into Homestead.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Homestead! We've all been fortunate to be involved, and here's to many more years. I won't share the pictures from Friday's awesome party at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco, to protect the innocent, but thanks to our amazing HR department for putting on such a class event for 200+ very sharp looking folks!

Happy Anniversary! Another year as proof that Homestead has what it takes to thrive in this industry.
Congratulations and many thanks.
I have been thoroughly impressed with the high level of customer service provided here @Homestead.
I am looking forward to bringing many aboard this wonderful company/client relationship platform for success. May God's Best be yours Always!

That's so funny, because this past week on October 10 I celebrated the first full year I've been in business! I never thought about it as my one-year birthday, but that's a cool way to look at it! I couldn't afford to have a huge party, so I treated myself to a spa pedicure, I got my nails done, and I treated myself to lunch! I look forward to the day when I can celebrate with a huge party! Happy Birthday Homestead, and I wish you many more to come!

Dear Justin and friends at Homestead. I am so thrilled to learn it's Homestead's 12th anniversary. When I opened my website with Homestead it was 1999. Thanks to Homestead's affordability I have been able to create my website without hiring expensive web designers. Justin you have done something so beautiful for us "Homesteaders". I know little html and prefer not to use it, so you've saved my life in more ways than one (financially and creatively). Thank you!!! Happy birthday to you and everyone at Homestead who has made it an outstanding company that has provided these wonderful tools affordably! You're a GREAT organization.
