Several weeks ago Matt and I decided we needed a new fence. So we commissioned our parents and set the date for Labor Day weekend. Let me just tell you building a fence is HARD work. You kind of think it would be easy but it is major demolition and construction. There are a few people I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU to - my father-in-law Gary, my dad, my mom and my sweet husband. They all put in countless hours of sweat and there is no way we could have done it without them. Chandler asked my if he was getting paid to help me and I said "no sometimes you just help the people you love". Well, we felt VERY loved with all the work my parents and Gary did. Thank you again and we love you. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Chandler even helped out

We still have a little bit more to do so I'll post pictures of the finished product at a later date. It was a huge undertaking but I am very glad we decided to do it and even more glad its over!

I put my parents to work labor day weekend too. My dad finished my whole honey do list which was quite long. We have such great parents. Speaking of which, I have not seen your parents since I moved down here.
You are quite welcome! Even though we were working hard it was such fun to be with you and Matt. We always have a great time being together no matter what we are doing. Can't wait to see the finished fence. Next comes new landscaping.....huh?
LOVE MOM
