Photos from the Day Fire

Well here are some of the photos that I took at the day fire. I hope that everyone enjoys them...I may post some on the blog not using the slide program for those of you who have slow internet connections.




Anyway no much else is new here. It has been a little chilly in the park and I am trying to guess when we will get our first snow. My guess is when we get the next storm

Jen had her baby

For all of you that know jen b, jen had a little girl on Sept 28. Her name is Carletta Ann. I must say that jen is on brave and couragous woman. She developed what is called help syndrome (very uncommon) and had to have her baby 2.5 weeks early.

I talked to jen today finally and i must say she has quite the story to tell about the arrival of her little girl. It even involved Jen getting a helicopter ride. But don't worry mom and baby are both at home and doing well.

Once again I must say congrats to jen. Love ya and miss ya. you are a champ!!!!!

A Few Photos from Oregon

Some may call me crazy

Well a bunch of us were talking about running a half-marathon in the begining of Nov and I have decided why the heck not. the best part is that I convinced my sister to do it with me. The funny thing is that since we haven't been in station much the past few months we haven't been running a lot. the good thing is that I did run 7 miles yesterday so that is good. Plus I train at 6500 feet when then half marathon which in Santa Barbara is at zero feet so that should give me an advantage.

The weather is getting wetter and cooler here so fire season is slowly ticking away so my training for hte half marathon may end up happening.

Also the ticker at the top of my page is an aproximate date that that seasonals will get laid off I will still have to work after that but I just like to think that the end is near

Back in Station and this time it may be for a while

Hey all. I am back in station. We put the Day fire out......well the 4000 other people probably helped some and I am pretty sure that the rain put the final touch on it.


Anyway we cam back on Oct2 which is a very important or should I say meaningful day to me. For those of you who don't know on 10/2/04 I lost a good friend of mine when an accident occured on the perscribed burn we were woking happened. Anyway Dan was an awesome person and eventhough I only knew him for a short time he touched my life in a way that I can never explain. He is missed by all and I know that I will always remeber oct 2 for the rest of my life.

It was pretty cool we came home on the anniversary and got to see dan's mom and bro, who I still in contact with and treasure as friends. We had a big old party that night...dan was one who liked to celbrate life so that was what we did.....fun was had by all... It was super good to see matt and dee.

Well I am off tommorow until sun but we are still available for fires so that means I can't go anywhere (sorry sis) I have a bunch of errands to run and computer catching up to do so I will finally get some more fire pictures and stories up
