Today was another boring day yet still it managed to entertain me.



Hate the cold weather now, but the land & views here are breath taking. The leaves changing the sky showing burst of color.



I keep telling myself I should start back taking pictures. Something keeps holding me back from it. I just don't see myself capturing the beauty in the shots as I once did. Maybe I just need to push myself harder.



I guess the house fire affected me in more ways than I understand. I can still smell it, the smell of everything being burnt around you, your world shattered in one fail swoop. Life dealt me few options at that moment. I was quickly forced into the role of controlling everything, taking charge. I guess I fazed out, just did the things that needed to be done, didn't stop & breathe in what was happening.



D got there after me, only minutes after, not long at all. Everyone was talking to me, asking questions. There was probably around 20 people in my yard, including fire fighters. For some reason, no one but me happened to notice that D ran straight into the house. Quickly I headed for the door, everyone yelling that I couldn't go in yet, it was still in flames. As I enter, I find D with a blank expression standing directly behind the fire fighters that were spraying the kitchen & ceiling with water. The fire is still rolling across the ceiling. Some how the fire fighters had not noticed him either. He's 6'8", 300lbs, how did I only notice him? They quickly told me to get out. I responded letting them know I came to get him, they kind of pushed against him as I grabbed his arm. He was in shock. I guess he sorta stayed that way for the next few weeks. My job would only let me have one day off. I'll never forget that, which means I will less likely help them when it is needed. I never realized how sick of a hotel room I could get. Now it's almost our 5year anniversary, we'll be going on a trip, which means more hotel rooms. I guess it's also giving me time to reflect at all that has changed for me the last year.



In a world that is so horrible at moments, there are truly many wonderful people. From the ones that helped me through the paperwork to the ones offering a hand. I thank them all dearly for being who they are. I'm sure this bad moment in my life would have been much worse without them there.
