I am thankful for Jake's friends. He hangs out with the boys many days or nights during the week. They like to work on vehicles and sit around the shop or drive around. Jake found an old couch set on the side of the road and brought it to the old shop where he has his little man cave. He has to share his shop with our employee and sometimes that causes a little competition over what goes where. Bo and David are the two boys he hangs out with the most. There are other boys from DMACC or local that Jake mentions that I have not met. Jake is pretty good about telling me the things they do, the fun they have and how much they laugh. He is always telling me funny stories. In the spring, Jake had an extra set of keys from the car David bought. Once a week Jake would go to the Ogden high school parking lot, unlock David's car and do something to it. One day he moved it from forward facing to backwards. Another day he moved it to another location in the parking lot. Numerous times he would turn the radio volume all the way up, windshield wipers on, heater on high, and strange things like that. David would call him and tell him all these crazy things and he was getting scared. He thought there was a ghost or it was possessed. Jake had so much fun with that one and he finally told David. This fall Jake filled David's car with packing peanuts. He had gotten bags full from DMACC one day and filled the car. He will enjoy telling these stories some day. I am glad he is having fun, and making memories with good friends. I am thankful for his friends.
