Thankful

I was feeding Ryan early Friday morning, 11/18, when I noticed my phone was blinking. There were several text messages and emails from friends asking if we were OK. Brent and I had no idea that a fire had started near our home and our neighborhood was under voluntary evacuation. We immediately started following the news. The fire was spreading rapidly due to 40-60 mph winds. We were prepared to leave, if needed, but we were so blessed. Our home is standing due to valiant firefighting efforts and we are safe and healthy. More amazingly, no one in our Stake lost their home! We feel truly thankful for these blessings this Thanksgiving season.

The wind was relentless.
You can see the lines of demarcation where the fire was stopped.

We drove past this area on Sunday. This is about 1/2 mile from our home.

Again, too close for comfort.

It is truly a Happy Thanksgiving for our family.
