What a good weekend!

This weekend Ryan's brothers came and helped him finish his bronco. Its been eight years that he has had this beautiful beast, but its never been where he wanted it to be in order to take it wheeling. He put a 351 in it and has had over heating problems for some time. That and when Ryan purchased it he tore it all the way down and has rebuilt it all, to perfection. JP and Dan flew in for the weekend and worked from dawn until dusk living on Betos and near beer every day this weekend to help Ryan get some things done that would have taken too much time alone. They even brought a tow bar so that last resort, Ryan could tow the bronco to Moab and wheel it there. I have to add that they were even careful to make things nice and pretty when they built brackets or took care of anything because they know that Ryan has worked hard to make this rig beautiful and we all know what a perfectionist he is as well, that was really appreciated! We didn't quite get her to the point that we were able to take her out for a spin, but we are close and have realized how much harder this would have been without your help. These pictures around the bronco are what it looked like all weekend. They all moved around each other in this tiny little space doing whatever was needed. Thank you JP Dan and Aaron for all of your help, I know Ryan loved it! Thank you Sarah, Christi and Jen for letting us have your guys for a whole weekend!

Thanks for being so flexible Ryan. I know it was difficult to let things leave your hands but I was thankful to spend the time with you that way. You can always go back and fix what we did after you wheel it!! Love you guys. We can't wait to see you all again.

Ooooh, Whit! A garage full of handsome, burly handy men! Can life get better? I submit that it cannot! Betos and Near Beer - I love it. What more do you need? Cody was talking about his Jeep this weekend and what has to happen to get it ready for Moab. Now I'm thinking we should give her a shiny new paint job so she can fit in with all your fancy vehicles! We are SO stoked to go on this trip, PS. I know Cache will love it, thanks again so much for letting us come along! Oh my gosh...does...does this mean we will actually be hanging out? In person???

This is what friends and family is all about. Ryan does so much for so many others, how great that some could return the favor.

Sounds like a fun weekend. I love stuff that brings family and friends together whether fun or work, it seems to be a lot more fun with everyone around:)
