So I got the chance to go on an overnighter with the Young Women this weekend! It was pretty fun. We all went up to a cabin with the couple that owns it and planned on a relaxing night of playing games and such. Someone had told us that that there wasn't much snow and that it would be warm but when we got there, there was still three feet of snow and it was COLD. Some girls had only worn flip-flops or didn't bring coats. 
We'd gotten the fire going and the cabin was just getting warm when a neighbor knocked on the door and asked if we knew the cabin was on fire. "No..." "You have a chimney fire, but don't worry, we've already called the fire department." Uh? Not worry? So everybody had to go back outside and wait while the adults started to try to put the fire out while the fire department got there (which, by the way, took FOREVER!). We had it pretty much out when they came and they took care of the rest of it. We thought that would be the end of our trip but the old caretaker of the place told us we'd be chicken if we went home and that it would be fine to stay. Well, you know how women hate hearing that they're chicken so we decided to stay eventhough there would be no more fire to keep us warm. We borrowed a couple electric heaters and wrapped up in blankets until it warmed up. THEN we had dinner and played and talked until late. It was certainly an exciting trip. Not only was there a fire to keep things exciting but the brown water from the rusty pipes and all the spiders kept things interesting as well! I got home the next day really tired and had to make up some sleep and then I was sick yesterday so Casey was without a wife almost all weekend. He cleaned the house and took care of the kids for me. I'm so glad Casey takes good care of me!

I guess fire really likes to be around you! Aren't you lucky! Watch your kids closely. Jared says that boys and fire have a very close relationship.
That's just what I was thinking! That's two fires in just one week! We're hoping that if we can start camping then maybe Luke won't have to play with fire at home. Do you think it'll work? =)
