 A new project is in order. The fence that stands on our south yard line has been exposed to abuse over the years and has proven to be on its last post. We currently have boards holding it up in companionship with our neighbor’s tree which the fence is secured to at the moment. The time has been long awaited for these changes to happen. After a few years of saving the planets have aligned, which is a great way of saying (blessings from God) are coming our way!


 My parents were incredible and allowed us to borrow their trailer we spent 2 hours counting and loading wood from Home Depot. It took 4 carts in the end. Only two are pictured. This is just the first installment since we didn't want to over load the trailer.

All the workers kept asking, "Think you guys have enough wood?" One of the workers turned to Tad at one point and said, "Man, that is one BIG honey do list. You are going to be working overtime!" 

Hahaha. Little did he know Tad and I WORK TOGETHER and PLAY TOGETHER. It is plenty of work, and well worth it for the gratification you get in the end when you can look at the finished product and say WE turned our dreams into reality with hard work and love. 
 
Once we had the trailer loaded we took it home to unload it. Can you believe I only had one sliver?! I shouldn't say that yet since it is truly only the beginning. Toward the end the sweet Elders came over and shared their young missionary spirit with us by volunteering to help us unload the trailer. It was so nice of them! 
This is a picture of our south side yard that we are working on. You can faintly see the black lines we sprayed on the grass to mark the outline of where we need to renovate. We had blue stakes come out and now just need to rent the tractor. The wood stump is our "chopping block" which is also the center of where our little pool goes in the summer.
Once it get's warm we should have the space ready to put the pool in. As you can see the fence is leaning, and is held up by 2x4's and nailed into our neighbors tree. The new fence wont have sections of plywood either! 


May the work continue, and the pay off be ever fruitful!
