Nate recently moved to Utah County to go to Physical Therapy school. One of his best friends from high school owns a house there and he and his family were moving for the summer to sell alarms so Nate was able to live there until he found somewhere to live and some roommates in the fall when they would return. Because of covid he had all of his classes online, lived alone, and didn't have a way to get to know anyone. Nate found he was really struggling and needed more of a purpose. Their yard was, to put it nicely, a big mess. So one weekend Matt and I loaded everything up and headed to help. It was fun to see Nate and have a project to work on together with him.
The girls and I tackled the flower beds. There was a rock waterfall under all the dead debris and dirt and to our surprise it still worked. While we worked on that Matt showed Nate how to start and run the lawn mower and weed eater. I was raise using all of the yard tools and we did it often. I didn't realize that my two younger siblings(Nate and Maddi) didn't get the same up bringing living somewhere where they didn't have much of a yard.
We definitely still have a lot of work to do another week but I was happy to see the progress we did get done. The kids were a great help and we enjoyed Cafe Rio to round out all our hard work. We were all tired and ready to head home.
