A few weeks ago, some friends of ours, Joe and Angie, got married in our backyard. I know, it sounds a little crazy, at least that's what I first thought! But it actually turned out beautiful and they enjoyed the intimate, family ceremony they really wanted for their special day.
But, it definitely meant we had some yard work to do! I helped out in the flowerbeds around the house, but Matthew had all of the big jobs! He put out fresh pine straw, installed lattice under the back deck and made sure all of the grass was green and trimmed. He even got his first case of poison ivy through all of his hard work! Little did we know, it would all payoff by receiving the Opelika Beautification Award, from Keep Opelika Beautiful, Inc.!
It was quite a surprise, but such an honor! I do give Matthew all of the credit, because he works really hard on maintaining the yard. He was such a good sport and let me get some photos of him so I could show-off his handy-work. Thanks honey...I'm so proud of you!!
