So those of you who dont know there is a massive forest fire burning up near where my parents live in Alpine!..Im not sure if its the Wallow or Willow Fire ive heard it been called both ways...its burned over 120,000 acres and is no where under control and its seriously ridiculous how its just not stopping and how its just taking over all the gorgeous forest and towns and its just so sad!!...But one reason im really bummed over it all...is Cody is part of the wildland crew on the chandler fire department...and he got called out yesterday to go help out with the fire up there!..why am i so bummed because he is going to be gone for 2 weeks which means he will not be here for Tatum and Tripps Birthday party and im pretty sad about it!...But I cant be a big baby about it because hes out supporting his family and out helping protect all those peoples home and trying to just get fire lines put up so whenever the wind does die down and the fire finally does get to a place where they can fight the fire they are able to!..So im just trying to be grateful for that that fact that i have hubby that works and supports us! Im trying really hard to put on a happy face and just remembering its just a bday party and there are more important things! :) Im just gonna have to be a crazy lady with the camera on there bday to make sure i capture every cute lil thing there is!! :)
I know the feeling. Mark is not missing any b-days but we haven't seen very much of him. He gets to come home for a day then gone for 14 more. I am thinking about headed to the valley..way too smokey here! I can't believe Tripp is one! Crazy how fast things go by!
