The pager makes it’s beeping noise, The scanner comes to life.
You see excitement on his face As he goes off to fight.
No matter what you’re doing Or whatever the current plan,
All you can say is “Later Hon” As he gets those keys in hand.
You say a little prayer That God will keep him safe,
That with all the pride and bravery No one will make a mistake.
You know those men are Brothers And fiercely will protect
The lives of each other and others– They will truly give their best!
You and your “man’s best friend” Are both loyal and true.
You keep each other company Waiting for him to return to you.
And when that front door opens With “Honey I’m home” again,
You thank the Lord he’s back OK, Your brave and strong Fireman.

Firefighter's Wife!
Chasing flames and saving lives is a firefighters thrill;
And I’ll do this job, the best I can, with the Lords grace and will.
But even though I love the flames, the excitement, and the roar;
There’s someone waiting back home for me, that I love even more.
My best friend, my soul mate, she is the love of my life.
I am so very grateful that she is my wife.
She understands the job I do, but how she hates it so.
I hear her cries, and see her tears, each time I have to go.
As I race to the fire, to battle the beast, I wonder how she is;
And pray to God, to let me return, to feel her tender kiss.
I know she won’t sleep, with her heart filled with strife,
She knows why I must leave her, to go and risk my life.
She would only have to say the word and I would walk away;
And never fight another fire, or keep the beast at bay.
But I know that’s something she’ll never do, she loves the man I am.
She’s proud of me for the lives I save and for my helping hand.
Though someday soon, the Lord may say, this job will take my life;
And I must leave this happiness, of my family and my wife.
Deep down inside I truly doubt that she would change a thing,
As long as we’re together and wearing her fireman’s wedding ring.

New Year's Resolutions.
I havent posted mine yet! I feel like such a slacker, since every other blog I read has. Oh well, I havet had much time lately.
1. Stay ahead with my homework. I always wait until the very last minute to get an assignment done and I hate that!! I have got to do better...starting Thursday!
2. Run at least twice a week. I miss running, even though I'm not planning any 5k's or anything like that right now, I just miss that alone time and time to clear my head! Running also makes me skinny..haha!
3. Do a daily devotion again. I have gotten so out of schedule with life & this is most missed.
4. Eat dinner out less. So far this one is the hardest one! I just hate cooking anymore. It's awful. I'm out of inspiration and ideas of new things for dinner. I need some ideas. Send me your favorite recipes!!
*Well, today was the first day back & boy was it a rough one! Lots going on and major stuff coming up...so send some prayers my way!*
