We've been super busy the past two weeks, hence not blogging.  I promise, once things settle down I will update with more info.  We spent 5 days in MN for a family reunion.  It was a short and sweet trip, we saw our families and we headed back to CO.

When we landed in Denver we found out that a fire had started in our beautiful city yet once again, just earlier that day.  As we drove closer to Colorado Springs, we could see the unbelievable red flames and smoke light up the night sky.  It was a heart wrenching feeling.  Just last summer, our city experienced one of the most destructive fires that Colorado has seen its history and we began to relive it once again.

As of today (just 2 days after the fire started), it has destroyed over 360 homes and is still 0% contained.    The fire which is located on the northeast portion of the city is now threatening homes within the city as the winds pick up this afternoon.  Evacuations are in effect for almost the entire northern portion of Colorado Springs (we live approx. 5 miles south of the fire).

Our home is safe, we are safe and we are currently not under any evacuation orders.  There are a lot of structures and not a lot of vegetation in between the fire and our house, so something unbelievable would have to happen for it to reach us.  However, it is still too close for comfort in my mind.  Both USA Wrestling Executive Director and Executive Secretary are in the midst of all the evacuations, so we are praying for them and their homes.  My heart aches for those who have lost their homes, their animals, and all their memories.

Please pray for our beautiful city and pray for RAIN!!!

(I will update on our lives and our trip soon.....our hospital is under disaster relief precautions so I am going to spend the next 4 days and possibly more at work)
