On the Bright Side...

So this one time Gertie and I went on a walk.

Just the two of us because that Turner family all decided to get up and leave for a family reunion in Idaho. They all left Gertie and I. Well not all of the Turners went to the family reunion, Reese(he's that super stud/firefighter boyfriend of mine) decided to to stay home because he is "on call" for firefighting. Did I mention my boyfriend Reese is a firefighter? ;)

So Reese and I made plans on Friday to take my lil' sister and brother to see a movie.
We were all quite excited to go!

My plan was to come home from work on Friday and run, clean, and shower then we would be off to the movie.

I was just about to start mopping when Reese called me and informed me that he had just received a call from his squad boss saying Reese's crew was going up to Idaho where 3 new fires had started in addition to 2 others still going on.

I couldn't believe it. He was finally going out on to a fire! I jumped in the car and drove a little over the speed limit to Reese's house just in time to say goodbye and watch him drive off.

I think I have done pretty well at not worrying too much about how he is doing, what he is doing, and when he will be back. Just looking for pictures of wildfires on google was a bit too much for me. It is hard to believe he is somewhere like this...

I can't wait to here all about it when he gets back, whether that's tomorrow or in (gulp) two weeks.

But for now Gertie and I will be okay because the rest of the Turner family is back from Idaho, finally!
