My sod is done!!!

 This post isn't about how excited I am to have my sod in - which I am. This post is to tell you about how thankful I am for my community. Now we have been trying to get the sod in our front yard for about three weeks but, as you all know it hasn't stopped raining for three weeks. So Jeremy came home Mon. and said the sun is out let's order half the sod and try and get it down. Well since it was Mon. night we decided not to call anyone, and just do it by ourselves. Then Heather and Dave showed up. Then a boy on his bycicle, Kenny Parkinson, who we knew, gets off to help us. Then a truck full of most of his fam. then his older sister and boyfriend, then a neighbor just walks over. then our bishop and his son. Needless to say within a few minutes we had a huge crew. If I hadn't been trying to work I would have cried. I know none of them read this but I am so thankful for them, I was so touched. And a big thanks to Heather, Dave it's hard to help when you've also got tow little ladies to chase around, but they came anyway. And Jody and Darlene also who helped take load and loads of weeds away, before we could get the sod down. And of course to Jeremy who did a ton of the work. We finished the rest off today with another neighbors help and two boys as well who we didn't have to ask again. These people are amazing. My grass looks great thanks for all the help everyone.

That is so awesome. Now I feel bad for not sticking around. That would make me cry too that there are so many generous people out there.
