Lean on me

Nate and I are chugging along in our separate ruts happy to be surrounded by the protection of dirt on either side. Actually, life is so good! Nate is working hard to be the worlds best product developer and is studying for May Actuarial exams. He is also teaching math 1010 at salt Lake Community College on Tues and Thurs mornings. He is an amazing teacher. His students call and e-mail him for math tutoring. He e-mails them notes of encouragement if they are struggling. It is his labor of love. Nate also serves on the community council for Sego Lily elementary. He helps decide where trust fund money goes and he and his committee work to improve the school in all areas. He teaches the rambunctious eight year old class in church. The kids love him. He is always devising new games and he brings a prize basket for the kids to pick from when they memorize an Article of Faith. Kids not even in his class come over after church to pass off Articles of Faith and to pick a prize. His favorite thing is to play with kids! Benjamin loves him to jump on the trampoline with him. All the neighbor kids LOVE him too. He will pitch the ball to them for hours. He also loves a good game of soccer. Recently he bought at least 100 tennis balls and added some rackets to the family collection. He takes us to the Tennis courts and pitches to me and the boys. He says it's what his dad did too. Did I mention that he plays the harmonica to Chase at night? It puts chase happily and peacefully to sleep. Aren't I lucky!
