Fires in SD

We're back and settled in since we returned from San Diego Monday. San Diego was craziness- the house under construction, Nate in pain (I'll explain later), and the FIRES, OH MY!! My younger brother Jared came with us this time but it really was a hell of a trip- and not necessarily in the good way. The worst of all was Monday morning at 8 am when Stacy called Susie's cell phone to tell us to evacuate. Come to find out, not only was our power out, but the phone lines were down too so there was no way for authorities to reach us in the reverse 911 system they use to evacuate. Anyway, the fires had been crazy burning all night and there was so much ash in the air you had to close your eyes even for a second outside. In the end everyone was safe, but we frantically woke everybody up, packed the car, and jammed to get out of that awfulness.

As for Nate- he has a cyst on his tailbone and was MISERABLE all week. After an 8 hour drive there and back he was in real misery. He's better now though- awaiting a new doctor adn insurance so he can get it taken care of properly.

There are so many things I really wanted to blog about but for some reason, none of them are coming to me at the moment. What does come to me is that I haven' written anything since before we went to Maui- which was fabulous, by the way!! Mason and I went for ice cream tonight with some other kids- he got banana pudding ice cream with a chocolate sprinkle cone. I got low carb strawberry with almonds- yummy. My weight is finally down...just in time to get pregnant and do it all over again. It's nice to know that I can do it though. I won't be so hard on myself next time. We're off to San Diego next week, I'm sure I'll have something to say about all that...one of these days I will blog about our trip to Maui and I owe you one from the pumpkin patches too. Lator gator!
