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!*

Lighten Up Your Life
Starting on January 1st 2010, a group of us women at work are joining up with Mission Hospital's Lighten Up Your Life program. It's sorta like a biggest loser type challenge, without the weighing in in front of 17090560403023 people!! (Thank the good Lord!!)
So I've been reading some Running blogs, and weightloss blogs to get myself mentally prepared. I refuse to be the dead weight on our team, I refuse to buy larger clothes anymore & I'm tired of being unhealthy!!! I was running/walking quite a bit this summer and actually managed to lose quite a bit of weight...then school started & I quit. Just one day didnt go & never looked back. It's sad. I feel miserable, look miserable and just overall miss it!
I'll leave you with a picture of me!
(Hahaha..please dont contact Epic Fail & nominate me :P)

Wow, its been awhile.
I havent really had alot to post about, or at least anything worthwhile.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Josh & I celebrated our 6th anniversary yesterday!
My classes are coming to a close,last assignment is due today! Yay for no more till January! A much needed break. My next semester is loaded pretty heavily and i'm really dreading it, but I'm ready to be done!
Bryson is in the church Christmas program tonight and then one at school on the 17th. I will try to get some pictures up soon :)

It's been crazy lately!
I havent had time to breathe much less post. We had our Fall Festival at school Saturday & so we've been working hard on that lately. We all had a blast & the kids loved loved loved it! I'm so glad its over though! Cookie Dough will be delivered Wednesday, so I will be unloading 3,000 tubs that day. Luckily I love all the girls we have helping, so we will find away to make it fun, I'm sure!
I've been really swamped with homework lately & I'm trying to pull up my GPA a bit, from my last math class...ugh! So that's been keeping me busy busy!
I'll try to post something worthwhile soon..I've not been really upbeat and just dont have too much to say lately.

Recipe For Life:
