Firefighter's Wife

You Know You’re A Firefighter’s Wife…

…When you see your husband in navy blue (standard color of all things firefighter) clothing more than any other color.

…If your husband isn’t wearing his usual work uniforms, he still has a T-shirt on that has the fire department logo on it.

...While washing the said navy blue wardrobe, you receive a pungent odor while sorting the dirty clothes. Nothing like the smell of sweat and smoke all mixed together!!!

…When you know the difference between a police siren and a fire siren.

…When you know that all of your smoke detectors work.

…When you find it hard to sleep when your Hubby is at work.

…When you get severely angry when people don't pull over for firetrucks and ambulances.

…When you've held more holidays at the fire station than should be allowed.

…When you've lost all sense of what a "weekend" really is due to your husband's crazy schedule.

…When all of your calendars have every third day circled.

…When you are always prepared to cook any form of desert or pick up any flavor of ice cream to take to the station at a moments notice.

…When everybody that knows a firefighter, will assume that you know them too.

...When you know that it is much better to call an ambulance to take you to the hospital.

...When you get to listen to stories about fires and medical calls when you're husband get home from work.

...You feel like the luckiest girl alive when he comes home off shift and sends your heart a-flutter.

I Love My Firefighter!

Home Sweet Home...

The next chapter in mine and Brian's lives...buying our first house!

After looking at what seemed to be hundreds of houses (which is a complete exageration) we finally decided on one and moved in a week ago today. Sorry, haven't unpacked the camera, actually I'm not totally sure which box it is packed away in, so there aren't any pictures yet. I promise I will get some of them posted eventually.

We have painted our living room and our bedroom. Our living room is a dark tan and our bedroom has 2 brown walls and 2 blue walls; I know, it sounds a little weird, but it really does look good.

We ordered new bedroom furniture! This is very exciting because we now have MATCHING furniture!!! Yay! Again, pictures shall come later.

And I must thank my WONDERFUL mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Eileen and Sarah for coming over to the new house and cleaning it from top to bottom before we moved all of our stuff in. And my brother-in-law, Kyle was a blessing by helping Brian move all of the heavy stuff. I could tell that I was just frustrating Brian and getting in his way, but Kyle came to the rescue! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Anyways, I guess that's enough rambling, I'll attempt to find the camera and post some pictures later!
