This morning I woke up to frantic banging on my front door and windows. It was 2:30 a.m. and Shane was still out of town, so I was scared out of my mind to go downstairs and see who was pounding at the door. I went to the door anyway and it was my neighbor. "There's a fire, wake up the kids; you might have to leave!" I walked outside and could see the fire just on the other side of the wash, which is only one street away from our house. I woke up the kids and we got ready to leave, it was interesting to see what the kids wanted to take with them after I told them we might not be able to come back to the house for awhile. Jared took his game boy, treasure box and Pokemon cards. Serenity wanted her princess dress and tiara. By the time we were ready to leave I could see that the fire wasn't getting any closer. We decided to leave anyway and went down to the Shane's condo to get some slept.

WOW! What a way to wake up! I am glad that the condo is so close and that you guys are okay. That is a great shot by the way! See you in less than a month (hopefully!)
Yikes!
It is fun to see what the kids took with them. So, what did you take?
ohmigosh! I saw that fire on the news on Wed! I can't believe it's that close to you! Hopefully it all amounts to nothing and soon! You're in my prayers.
I didn't take the photo, I got it off of one of the local news websites.
