Even though I'm evacuated out of my house I can still find time to blog.Well yesterday afternoon the helicopter came over our house and told us to evacuate. We had been packing our cars since 9am that morning. We could see the fire and it was not getting better. Twin Peaks had been e-vaced and we are just a hop skip and a jump from Twin Peaks. At about 5pm we were out of there. Our cars were jam packed with everything we have except for our furniture and some of Dillon's toys. We are living out of our cars. I'm so ready to go home. Dillon asked me tonight if we could go home and sleep. I'm just glad that my parents are down the hill and that we were able to stay with them. My dad went up to Lake Arrowhead tonight since he is in the Red Cross. He drove around with some of the guys from church like Pres. Fenn, Pres. Poulsen and some other guys. He said that Crestline is like a ghost town but nothing by my house has been burned. Thank goodness! I just am praying for all the people that have lost their homes. I couldn't even deal with that if I lost my home. I see how much we had to do and leave our home behind. It was really sad knowing that I might not see it again. Anyways, we will see how long I stay on the mountian for. Please pray for those who have lost their houses.

Oh... I am so glad your house is okay!! I don't know if I could deal with the stress of an evacuation and worrying about your house...Hope you get back soon.
I can't believe you were evacuated! That's the scariest thing-I couldn't imagine leaving the house thinking it might not be there when I get back. I'm so glad that everything's okay!
Hopefully just a couple more days!! I would be going crazy, but you're right you are lucky to have your mom live close and out of danger. And that was nice that your dad was able to check on your house!! We're thinking about you!!
Have you gotten back in yet? Isaac and Laura have a blog now :) The link is on my page!
