Last Saturday we had plan to go on a double date with our friends Brad and Crystal, and I had been really looking forward to it!
Well, Thursday night the big fire started and that changed everything! When an emergency like this happens, all of Bryce's days off are canceled, (no matter that he had just finished working 4 straight 12 hour shifts and was ready for a much deserved break) and he is now working emergency overtime, 14 hour, shifts until the fire clears. It's been rough and he is so exhausted but I am grateful that the fire is not close enough to threaten our home!
Since I still had someone lined up to watch the boys, Crystal and I decided to still go out. We went and watched "The Time Traveler's Wife", a total chick flick. We both loved it, and cried. A Lot! After it was over we wandered down town Santa Cruz, taking pictures of whatever caught our eye. Then we went and picked up pizzas to take to our guys while they were working. They were at a fixed station blocking entry into the fire areas and so were not able to leave. It was great to get to spend a little time with Bryce, even if it wasn't an official date! It was also great to have some time off from the 2 little monsters at home!
