Fire

Yesterday Shane ran to IGA really quick to get some stuff for dinner. He was gone for like, 5 minutes before he called me and told me that he was seeing a lot of smoke in the sky. I turned the TV to Channel 10 News and sure enough, there was a fire! It was a brush fire so it wasn't near any houses or businesses, but it was huge! It wasn't very far away so after dinner we jumped in the car and found a safe spot to check it out. By the way, I was dumb enough to leave without my camera so I had to use my phone. :C



This picture was taken at PIR. I felt kind of silly jut sitting there, but after a while a couple of other cars pulled up and people got out to take pictures. So we weren't alone!

We drove closer and stopped on a bridge, where a bunch of other cars were already parked, and took this video:

The last thing I saw on the news last night after we got home was that 25 homes were being evacuated just as a precaution because the wind was starting to pick up. There was smoke in the sky today but it's not as bad as last night. Hopefully they can put it out soon!

I'm a bad blogger

I haven't written in forever! A million things have happened since the last time I got on here. I turned 20 on the 12th and it was great, thanks to my awesome family and friends. We had a BBQ at my mom's on 10th, went to SunSplash with Loren and Kylie on the 11th, had dinner with them at Cici's Pizza (they had mac n cheese pizza! We will defintely be going back), and then my co-workers surprised me on Thursday with cake. We all went to Chili's after work that day, and Kim went with us. It was so much fun and they are all so hilarious. The people sitting around us were laughing!

Shane got me P.S. I Love You and said that if I am ever mean to him in this life, he's going to torture me by writing me letters after he dies. How sweet is that. ;-) Seriously, I love that movie and am happy to own it!

The past couple of weeks have been good. Just working, going to school and getting the apartment clean and organized. We've been using my parents' pool on our days off. It's nice just to relax. Also, today was our first day teaching the CTR 7 class (we used to be in Nursery). Those kids have a TON of energy but they're so much fun and they say the funniest things. I love getting to go to Opening Exercises and Singing Time and all that because I didn't do that as a kid, so it's pretty cool.

Sorry I don't have any new pictures. I take my camera everywhere but I hardly ever use it, I'm so bad. I'll try to take some soon.
