UTAH fans are nice too!

Tyson and I have absolutely loved living in my parents house for the past seven months or so! It is completely different living in a house vs. our one bedrooom apartment we lived in the first year of marriage! We have really learned that being a home owner is a ton of work! I use to be able to clean our whole apartment in about 3o minutes. (DEEP CLEAN TOO!) and I use to be able to vacuum the whole entire apartment by plugging in the vacuum by my front door and vacuum the whole place, including our bedroom, without unplugging it! LOL. Now, it takes me a whole day I feel like just to clean the downstairs of a house. For Tyson, he has had tons of fun learning how to be the handy man! He works in the yard pretty much every Saturday...mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, pulling weeds, chopping palm trees, fixing broked dish washers that his wife breaks, and the list goes on! He has done an amazing job and I am so proud of him!

Last Saturday, Tyson was working in the yard and trying to mow our lawn. It was about 110 degrees outside and like 9am in the morning! I went outside and he was just so gross and sweaty...I felt so bad! (it is moments like those that I am grateful to be a GIRL!) Anyways, it turned out that the lawn mower had died. He had been out there for about 20 minutes trying to fix it and it just wasn't happening. As soon as I walked out there, a man in a University of Utah shirt was walking towards us. Tyson is not a fan of Utah and is a die hard BYU fan. (of course.) He kept working and as the Ute fan got closer and we soon realized it was Brother Zwick from our ward. He lives just a few houses down and he had noticed Tyson struggling to get the mower to work! He came by and asked if he could help, and of course Tys denied. Not more than 2 minutes later, we look up the street and here comes Brother Zwick with his lawn mower ready to help. He not only brought us his mower...but he mowed the lawn for us!! I seriously was in awe. We love him and appreciate him so much!! Bro. Zwick reminded me that day that there are always opportunities to serve our neighbors and friends...we jus have to look around! I kind of feel bad, because it also made me realize that I have a lot to work on! I need to look around a little bit more and help those who need me!

We are so grateful for Brother Zwick's example and kindess. Even though Tyson thinks he should change his shirt next time he comes around my Dad's house...we couldn't be more grateful for what he did for us that day. I am sad that I didnt get a picture of Brother Zwick and Tys together... Tyson was wearing a BYU shirt and Brother Zwick was in a UTAH shirt. It would have been a great pic!
