Dear Friends and Customers,                                                                                Season 2011

Mike Fairburn, President and Co-founderIt is hard to believe but 20 years ago this May, Living Water Lawn and Tree Care began. Funny it started with me trying to help a relative make child support payments. I told him I would get us some lawn jobs and we could split the proceeds. He lost interest but I began to get the distinct feeling I was supposed to make this full time. Often I worked with my wife Lisa after work and on weekends that first year every day straight until weeks turned into months. We both had 40 hour jobs but we often worked till dark every night and all day Saturday and Sunday. We did manage to squeeze church in on Sunday but then off I went to mow or prune or landscape. It was crazy and if anything the next 3 years were even more intense. God indeed blessed the work of our hands. I believe I could have trusted Him more and worked a little less but He was so kind and patient with me, a passionate and driven young man. He also gave me such a great partner in Lisa. The day we were married the pastor told me "she makes you rich" and boy was he right. Even when all we had for dinner was Mac and Cheese, sitting around the table with the kids and each other; she has made me the richest man in town. Living Water started with Jesus, Mike and Lisa and over the years the team has grown some.

I have made so many mistakes. I have been exhausted and discouraged many times over the years but God got me through and taught me much along the way. Lisa's love and wisdom made home and family my safe place. She always pointed me towards Jesus when I got too full of myself. We have met and served thousands of amazing, lovely and inspiring people. They have shared so much with us. I have learned more about life on the back steps of customer's homes than any college class. Wisdom was shared by Harry Hanson, Ruth Lutz, Joe Ambrosi, Don Silver, Malcolm and Francis Macdonald, Joanne Roberts and countless others. Some of them are with the Lord now but I am so much wiser because they shared their lives and experiences with Mike the lawn guy. The Inland Northwest has been so good to us. Today we are beyond grateful…words just aren't adequate for the grace of God, the love of our family and the amazing neighbors who have allowed us to serve them. Today our employees carry on the "love story" of a company and a community. We have men and women who are of such quality and who are so committed to seeing Living Water stand for the values we began with; treat people with professionalism, kindness and respect. And to make a difference in our community, give back to neighbors who make it possible for us to care for our own families. Who could have imagined 20 years ago when I started chasing a lawn mower trying to help a relative that all this would have happened…only God…isn't He amazing!

Thanks to all of you from all of us at Living Water Lawn and Tree Care,

Mike Fairburn
