Grant's home, FCA All-State, Senior Prom

Kyle was nominated and selected to receive the FCA All-State award this year. FCA began in Oklahoma - I never knew that until the awards banquet.

This is a huge deal. The banquet was wonderful. Congrats, Kyle!

Stillwater Fires

Making a post to mark this tragic event.  I had once heard 94 homes were destroyed and hundreds other with damage.  I don't know the correct numbers as of now. We kept hearing it was the perfect storm of humidity, wind and lack of rain that caused 18 years of damage in about 5 hours.

When I could smell the fires about 3:00
When they got really strong very quickly after 3...


When you're watching the TV and the white line goes directly over your neighborhood, things get a little spicier.
The first photo we received from a friend whose home was burning.
My parents had initially gone to a friend's home but they were then evacuated so they came to join us along with some neighbors of ours. As the evening went on, they could see fire on their Ring doorbell.
snuggly in DDS office
the second friend's house we heard of burning.  Only one in their neighborhood.
