Fire!!

Here's a post that goes out to my amazing hardworking husband. This last Friday he had a series of different types of strenuous tests to get state certified as a firefighter. And drumroll please....HE PASSED!! He worked really hard to get to this point and I am so proud of him. Every Monday Wednesday, and Friday Max comes home from the Fire Academy drenched in sweat from nearly 12 hours of exhausting work and training. His body is constantly sore and tired and he can't stay up passed 9pm on Friday nights anymore. Needless to say he has put all his effort into succeeding and rising to the top of his class. He has had some very sleepless nights studying all the skills that he needs to know. Oftentimes the difference between an alive and dead firefighter is knowledge of the skills and safety procedures, so he is absorbing every bit of training he can. I am so proud of all his hard work

Max's Graduation from the Fire Academy will be held on December 15, 2010 in Provo Utah. He would love for anyone who is able to attend, to come. They will be doing some drills (lighting stuff on fire). So it should be really exciting! Call if you can come and we will give you more details.
