Excitement Abounds........

Well to start off with the most boring update...I finished sewing my new summer purse. It was a Sewing for Dummies pattern so I thought it would be pretty easy, it wasn't. It did turn out pretty darn cute though!



Now some semi-exciting news- John and I tested out for our 'black helmet' last night at the fire department. That means we will no longer be probies! No more wearing orange stickers on our helmets and standing out in the crowd of firefighters. It's only taken me a year. John a few months. I have to admit that I was being a little lazy but John little the fire under my backside to get the test done. We basically had to memorize where everything was at on the fire truck. Where's the pick-head axe? Where's the hot stick? Stuff like that. I am really glad to finally rid the orange stickers.




Now for some super exciting news! Nooooooooo it's not about the adoption. Sorry! We still have a few more months before we know anything about that. Next week I am going to go help out on the set of Extreme Home Makeover! I will be part of a firefighter crew that will be feeding the workers and contracters and the famous people like Ty! They are rebuilding a fire station/police station/library in Sabine Pass, TX. My chaplain buddy Ken is helping to head up some of the firefighters that will be working and told me about the gig. So next week we will be spending three days hanging out and feeding the people. Wooo Hoo!
