My sister and her husband are part of a program where along with a group you get to build your own house and those of the group members with a cut on your mortgage to encourage people to move to rural areas of Utah. While we were in town we were able to help with some of the work. It was amazing to see the house that my sister did so much to build herself. I know very little about handy-work so it was fun to see how some of the pieces fit together in home building.
Her next door neighbor will be her sister-in-law’s house. Next to her will be the Payson, Utah LDS temple site. Lucky coincidence!
I helped Amber with some of the rock work on her neighbor’s house. It was much more time consuming than it looks. I work with my hands every day, but I definitely felt out of my element. I also was surprised how prissy I felt. I enjoy camping, hiking, etc, but for whatever reason it bothered me to feel DIRTY with cement. PS can you tell from our backs that we are twins? Which one is me?
Abe and Russell built a deck for another neighbor. 
It makes me more excited for our own house and thinking of some of the improvements I would like to make. I am excited we will both hopefully be into our first houses in June.

Left! It does make other renovations seem less daunting...
Wow!!! This is cool. I could say whatever I want. ha ha ha We will see how long it take for someone to notice...
Erin in Green, Amber in Pink!!!
I'm glad that Erin's family members are able to tell her and Amber apart.
Can anyone tell which of the guys in the picture is Erin's husband and which is Amber's? It may be a bit trickier since you haven't known us for 20+ years!
looks like you had a fun trip home. families are the best, aren't they! Especially your family! :)
