Our Deck and Our Friend Justin

We decided to put a deck in our front yard.  Art's friend Justin came up to help us put the base of the deck in.  It turned our really solid.  

 Before we finished the deck.

 The final product.

 We are so happy about our deck.  It also holds a special place because just after Justin came up to help Art out, he joined his parents at Bear Lake.  He drowned while he was there and didn't get the chance to see the finished product.  We are grateful for his friendship and the time he took to come all of the way up here to help us out.  He will be missed.
