This is a picture over the ridge from our house on the day we were evacuated from the fires. I think it ended up coming to within 4 miles or so, but at this point it was probably 10 miles from us. It was too smoky so we "evacuated" ourselves to mom's house,where they had the humidifier going full strength, and then got the mandatory evacuation order shortly after we arrived there. It was a crazy day! We tried later in the evening to go back in but they had everything completely blocked with Police cars and National Guard and weren't letting anyone cross the I-15 back to Scripps Ranch and Poway. So we spent the night at Jerry and Jessica's, and were able to go back the next afternoon. It was crowded, as Jer and Jess had Johnny and Brooke Pearson in town for the weekend, so we were all crowded into their 1 bedroom apartment. But, they were so nice and hospitable and fed and sheltered us until we could go home. :>)
In other unrelated news.....
Everyone probably already knows that we are moving back this weekend!
We are very excited to go home, and have snow for Christmas, and see all of our friends and family again!
See you all soon!
