Who says date night has to be dinner and a movie or the occasional game of mini golf?
Our "date" this week . . .?
Four hot, sweaty, awesome hours spent getting covered in sawdust to help Habitat for Humanity in building:
The South Franklin Community Center will be in a low-income area of Provo and will provide a place for community events, classes, tutoring and other programs, including the Circles Initiative that I am involved in (I will write about that sometime soon!).
Of course Russ knew what he was doing and they soon put his skills to good use. I think they were glad to have someone they didn't have to "babysit", but I was surprised at how much the rest of us were able to do with our new found skills as well. They even let us use all kinds of power tools!
We signed up through United Way, but you can also set a date to go volunteer directly with Habitat for Humanity Utah County. If you're not in the area, Habitat is everywhere! Check out habitat.org for more info. And I will keep you posted on the completion of this building. I'm sure we will be back - we had a great time!
