When you are having fun they just fly by don’t they? The holiday season must be in full swing. But this 4 day was so needed. We spent a lot of time with friends and our family. There was dinner at a friends house to watch football on Thursday night, then Friday night a friend had a party to thank those that helped with their remodeling. We haven’t all gotten together like that in many months so it was just awesome. Especially to add in a few of the new guys/wives that just got hired or just got off probation. Then Friday night was a retirement party for one of my clients Dad’s actually. lol See it’s a damn small world
She and I didn’t know a thing about each other when she first hired me to train her. Then our lives just showed a huge intersecting.
Anyway, the retirement party went really well. He’s been in fire service since 1962 and it was very rural out here for many years. They roasted the hell out of him. lol Good times! Sunday we spent up on the slopes just the 4 of us. It snowed like crazy half the day and it wasn’t supposed to. So it was AWESOME!
Today hubby started his set and it’s trying to have record cold. I’m hoping all their calls are inside if they get any at all.
I’m posting all of this happiness because I need to pull the happy moments of the last week to the front of my mind. Tomorrow is the memorial for the murdered Lakewood Police Officers. Unless hubby has something else planned, I won’t be able to not watch. I’ve had a headache for the last few hours from watching them get ready for this huge event. I just ache with the tears I already know will be spilled tomorrow.
Anyway, I will post again tomorrow I’m sure. But I wanted to get this happy post of the last few days in here first. I want to remember what I do live for before I’m reminded how dangerous all of their jobs are.


Trust me, our four days fly by, literally. Because my husband still works out of state, his first day is spent flying home. Recently, I started taking days 2-3 off from work, just so we could spend time together while the girls are in school. The last day, we try to have family night. Then, it’s back to the airport and we start all over again.
Yikes, that WOULD make it go extra fast. Thank you for stopping by Kristia!
