Fire!

So yesterday we had several fire encounters! We went to church and came out and saw smoke and ash falling from the sky. Some church members were told their neighborhood was being evacuated so they hurried out of the fellowship meal to try to save their stuff. On the way back home traffic started to really slow down up ahead of us, when we noticed a fresh accident. A truck had just fallen from the overpass somehow and was in flames. There was a guy in the ditch with blood coming out of his ears. We still dont know what happened there but we prayed for them right then and there. It couldn't have been more than a couple minutes since the accident had happened. Then that night after we had hung out with friends as we were on our way home, we saw the hills by the interstate we were driving on glowing with the forest fires that were burning!
It looked alot like this

It was eerie and surreal. We stopped to try to get a good view (along with like 50 other people who owned houses nearby.) We had to take a different way home because they had closed part of the interstate down. Then when we were like 10 minutes from home, we saw another fire up ahead! This time it looked like a house was on fire. So ofcourse, curiosity got the best of us and we decided to check it out. Sure enough, about a mile and 1/2 from our house, a house had caught fire and firefighters had pretty much given up. They were just standing around waiting for the flames to die down. So it was a pretty exciting day, although not necessarily a good day for some people. This is fire season right now; I hope it isn't as devastating as last year! See although the weather is picture perfect almost daily, and there is so much going on around Southern California, there is a price to pay for living around these parts. So on to more happier thoughts...Thanksgiving is almost here! =D And we may or may not be going to Wyoming. More on that later.
