My Weekend Project

For a graduation present, my dad promised to help my husband and me put in a sprinkler system, plant a lawn, and landscape our yard.  It did not get done in the two weeks I had off between undergrad and grad school, so I was pretty much thinking I’d be off the hook for having to help out.  But when Ammon goes to work for 24 hours and my dad says, “Sara, you want to work on Friday?” how can I say no?  I’m not going to sit in my basement writing my thesis while my dad is outside working on my house.  So these past two weekends, I’ve spent many hours outside in the dust and sun.  However, it is an extremely good stress reliever and I love seeing things on my house improving.  Today we put brick pavers around our front sidewalk and tomorrow we will be planting the grass!
