One degree down, magna cum laude. • Graduating high school (with honors) later this month. • Yes, you read that correctly. Madi just graduated college at 18 years old before graduating high school. She has been dual enrolled for the past two years and has maintained a GPA of 3.97 while also working for us. • In the famous words of Dr. Seuss, "Kid, you'll move mountains." • #godsplan #apsu #austinpeay #graduation #daughtersarethebest #daughter #clarksvilletn #clarksville (at Austin Peay State University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQ8SrnuK5k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Having lived a life all across this globe, I have arrived at this simple conclusion. I shall not live in a place where this attire is not acceptable. I shall never live in a place where I cannot wear Crocs without socks nine month's out of the year (the other three are with socks). If your state cannot make proper coleslaw, baked beans, and barbecue... never invite me. If you don't know what cucumber salad is, you need help. If you think tea is made with a mix from a packet, I will fight you. If you have a beard, you better be able to build shit and fix shit. If firearms scare you, stay away from us because that's just weird. I will never judge you based on the color of your skin; I will absolutely judge you if you're a man that wears skinny jeans. If your woman doesn't feel protected around you, do better. If you feel strange hugging a gay man/woman, it's you that's the problem. All of us have more commonalities than we do differences. It would behove all of us to remember that. • #crocs #crocsuniteus #america #tennessee (at Adams, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSm5jhPpLNp/?utm_medium=tumblr

We planted these Passionate Hydrangeas in early spring when they barely had any leaves on them and now look at these beauties! • #milspeclandscaping #landscapers_of_instagram #landscapedesign #landscaper #clarksvillelandscaping #clarksville #clarksvilletennessee #sango #sangotn #adams #adamstn #tennessee #clarksvilletn #hydrangea #passionatehydrangea #godscreation #godsbeauty #jesuslovesyou #weloveyou (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR1uVWiFyoP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes the little one's next to a hammock have the most profound impact on peace and tranquility.

On September 17, 1787, delegates left the Constitutional Convention in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. As they exited, Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government do we have? "A Republic," he replied, "if you can keep it." (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ7qL77j5Er/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tennessee country living at its finest. This is my daily morning routine. It consists of a headcount to ensure we don't inadvertently take one of our chickens to a client's house... again. • #reallife #isabrown #chickensofinstagram #chicken #bloopers #countrylife #godsanimals #godhasaplan #milspeclandscaping #landscapers_of_instagram #tennessee #clarksvilletn #clarksville #clarksvilletennessee #sango #sangotn #adams #adamstn #jesuslovesyou #weloveyou (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjao6YpjgD/?utm_medium=tumblr

God has blessed me with the most amazing, talented, creative, loving, brilliant, and hilarious kids. They're always the one thing that's right in this whirlwind life I've had. I never say it enough but I love all of them more than they could ever know. Thanks for making not just Father's Day special, but every day of my life. • Yes, that includes you Blake, even though you are dating my daughter. I appreciate you taking the time to write everything you did in the card. You're a good egg. • #fathersday #fatherdaughter #daughters #wildchild #familia #love #thankyougod #thankful #gratefulheart #blessed #clarksville #clarksvilletennessee #sango #sangotn #adams #adamstn #tennessee #clarksvilletn #godscreation #godsplan #jesuslovesyou #weloveyou (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQdzespp-YR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let me tell you about this little warrior named Kai. Born early, fought with all his might, and here is the lil smooch face with Kristy out of the hospital. Our awesome client's are grandparents now. We've all been praying hard for Kai and God wrapped his arms around him, the family, and the entire medical staff. We finally got to meet him yesterday! • I love our green industry community and the support everyone has provided to this family. A big thank you to Mark's Lawn Service for taking care of their yard while they were essentially living in the hospital. • #community #powerofprayer #godsplan #godspurpose #love #loveourclients #thankful #greenindustry #milspeclandscaping #tennessee #clarksvilletn #clarksville #clarksvilletennessee #sango #sangotn #adams #adamstn (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRQi7npXdR/?utm_medium=tumblr

We've had all of these targets and stands from @shoot_steel since last Thanksgiving. Our client's always come first though, so we've never had enough time to build it out. We have had so much rain over the past week, I finally got a chance to spend a day putting some of it up. • Still have to build a V-Tac barricade and toss some poly 55 gallon drums up. Other than that, it'll be a fun little range out to 150 meters. Now @low_pro_ops will have a reason to come visit us with the kids while @shelbympowell is hard at work.😉 • #tennessee #clarksvilletn #shoot #range #rangeday #shootsteel #2a #firearmsafety #familytime #noshirtchris #countrylife #countryliving #godlovesyou #weloveyou (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJsIr_JIpL/?utm_medium=tumblr

This beautiful new farm house nestled away on 70 acres got its very first landscaping design and install. I absolutely love that Kristy can visualize what every plant will look like at full maturity, so everything gets spaced out appropriately. It truly takes the eye of an artist and a great abundance of plant knowledge to be able to go from concept to reality. • The downspouts were challenging due to the plethora of pipe/conduit/gas lines running parallel with the length of the house. I almost always use a wye at the downspout connection point, but in this instance we had to jump over conduit at the foundation. Due to the all the buried lines, I used the ditching bucket, and dug with the lines versus against them so as to not snag any with the bucket (much like how you would sand wood). Took longer, but worked great. • Now if we could only get grass to grow in this ridiculous soil... or lack thereof. • #farm #farmhouse #milspeclandscaping #landscapers_of_instagram #landscapedesign #landscaper #clarksvillelandscaping #clarksville #clarksvilletennessee #sango #sangotn #adams #adamstn #tennessee #clarksvilletn #veteranowned #veteran #blessedfamily #drainagesolutions #drainage #godsearth #jesuslovesyou #weloveyou (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3l3rmjufE/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've lost a best friend, held some in my arms, been friends with many, a few have been my gunfighters along the way, but every last one of them is a brother. • Happy Memorial Day you savage warriors, those who died on their feet serving a greater purpose than themselves, answered the call, and made a deliberate decision to serve our nation during a time of war. • Some may ask what's so damn happy about it... that God produced these men. Great warriors that line His halls who paid the ultimate price for those who couldn't defend themselves. Men that time and time again said, "Get behind me, I will protect you". • Not a single one of these men would want any of us to wallow in pity this weekend. In fact, they are still right beside each of us as we celebrate with barbecue, beer, and cigars. They still sit around the fire with us laughing and telling stories about "that one time downrange". • So, Happy Memorial Day. I choose to celebrate their lives and sacrifice just as they would have wanted me to. I choose to remember them each and everyday as they would have demanded me to. Not with tears and sorrow. With great food, too much alcohol, laughter, and stories of the great warriors that are still by my side. It's easy to get lost in the shadows, but I encourage all of my brothers to honor them in the manner that "you" know they would've wanted you to. If this weekend doesn't end in a story worthy of telling ten years from now, well, y'all already know what they would've had to say about that...

Youngest daughters last day of middle of school, officially a freshman now, what to do to make this day memorable.... • Make ridiculous signs, dress up, pick her up in the CAT buggy, blast School's Out by Alice Cooper, and scream when she walks out of the building... yeah, let's do that. • #schoolsoutforsummer #caterpillar #catutv #freshman #godsplan #godlovesusall #weloveyou (at Rossview Middle School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPdv6LFjrC9/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's taken me all day to write this brother and it still feels like yesterday. The blood, the chaos, the screams, and yet you calmly sat there as if the world had stopped in that moment for you. I caught you as you gently fell into my arms. You never made a single sound, just looked at me. • I saw the tiniest pinhole next to your heart and there was no stopping the devastating internal destruction that tiny piece of shrapnel did to you. I wish I could've gotten to you faster and I wish that shrapnel would've hit me. I hope you know that you were amongst your brothers in the end. I held you for as long as I could. • If you're reading this, raise a glass today and remember this warrior. Speak his name for he has returned home to our Father in heaven. • Until we meet again...

I'm going to leave all the air assault tree work to @spartantreesolutions. I'll just keep my old beard right here on the ground using brute force to shove the trees over. • That Stihl MS290 is over ten years old and still chews through wood like butter. Many years in the great state of Washington taught me a lot about tree work. My neighbor at the time was a professional arborist and turned me onto full skip tooth chains. I'll never go back to a standard chain again. • In my humble opinion, the benefits of a full skip tooth far outweigh the cons. You just better be holding on tight to the saw. If she kicks running a skip tooth, she's coming back at you real quick. • #milspeclandscaping #landscapers_of_instagram #landscapedesign #landscaper #clarksvillelandscaping #clarksville #clarksvilletennessee #sango #sangotn #adams #adamstn #tennessee #clarksvilletn #caterpillar #stihl #godsearth #jesuslovesyou #weloveyou #treework #godscreation (at Clarksville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8XABLJjOO/?igshid=1284p26y2avay
