Barn Fire

As most of you know, at least my reader's that live around here, my Uncle Ed & Aunt Cindy's alpaca barn burned down on Friday night. Thankfully none of them were hurt, nor were any of the animals. Due to it burning so fast, I don't have any pictures of that part. However, I do just have some that I took when I went on Saturday, so I thought I would share them. They aren't really in any specific order.






In this next picture, you can see the oil tank. Due to the fire being so hot, the tank was transparent and you could see right through it and see the oil bubbling in it!

The camper was on the right side of the barn, and that is ruined as well.


They had to pull all of the hay out of the barn as well. My uncle told me that every time they moved the hay, it started on fire again, so they had to spread it all out on the driveway and the firefighters had to keep extinguishing it.




There were three pick up trucks parked in front of the barn, and Uncle Ed and Logan were able to move two of them. Unfortunately, the fire was so hot that they couldn't get into the third truck, so they had to leave it. The front of it melted.


The fire also ruined some of the siding on the back of the house, the back fence by the pool, and the swing set.



Other than the two trucks they were able to move, it was a complete loss, but they do plan to rebuild. The most important thing though is that everyone is safe!

I made it!


Well, I can officially say that I made it through the first day of this semester! This semester is going to be very challenging, probably the most challenging I've had so far. I am taking Corporate Finance, Commercial Law, Calculus, and Film Study (online). All challenging classes!

Here's my schedule for this semester:
Monday - Class: 5:30 PM - 6:50 PM
Tuesday - Class: 9:30 AM - 10:50 AM
Class: 5:00 PM - 6:50 PM
Wednesday - Class: 5:30 PM - 6:50 PM
Thursday - Class: 9:30 AM - 10:50 AM
Class: 5:00 PM - 6:50 PM

The worst day is my Tuesday's & Thursday's, seeing that I'm at school, then work 11-3, then go back to school. Oh well, that was the only way my schedule would work.

7 Days


School starts in just 1 week! Today I went and got my books for the semester. Everything seemed so quiet on campus, not like it normally is during the semester. I must admit though, I am a little sad that this is my last semester at MCC. I have really enjoyed the college, but I am also excited about moving on in life; on to a new college, closer to being completely done! This semester is going to fly by; graduation will be here in no time!

Belle


I thought I'd share a few pics of Belle that I took this afternoon.
She was very playful and wouldn't sit still, so some of them are blurry!




She loved playing with Aaron!



All relaxed!

Tired!

I thought I would share this picture I just created; it now sits as the background picture on my laptop. A very gentle reminder!
