Landscaping.....

Allison has been willing to take on any odd job to make money this summer since 24 Hr. Fitness has been very slow at transferring her here this summer (new management that doesn't know how great she is). This is the slowest it has ever taken them to get her working hours so that she can work and earn money for getting married and helping with all the expenses that come in getting a new apartment etc... after you are married!

So she was offered a job to redo some landscaping in Dallas this week. She just got home tonight at 10:00 and is beat!

It took 4 days working two 12 hour days and two 10 hour days. Her body hurts like it has never hurt before. She had to re-shape the flowerbeds, which actually took them back closer to the house in some places, and then extended them out further some places. They had to lay the bricks around the flower beds, break up all the clots and lay down new dirt etc.... then they had to dig the holes for the trees and the bushes and the plants. The flowers of course were fast but everything else was back breaking lifting, hauling, and digging. And every hole they dug had tree roots they had to break through....it was a long old process. It looks beautiful now, but I'm not sure it really shows what they had to do.....it was way more than just planting plants and flowers!
