Life of a Firefighter's Wife

As most of you know Lincoln is a firefighter for the Forest Service and once a year he gets the opportunity to go burn in Jasper, Texas. Well that time has come for this year and he left Monday morning. Not sure when he will be home...3 weeks at minimum and could possibly be 9 weeks if he stays for all three trips. They started driving Monday and made it to Amarillo to stay the night. Today he called me two and a half hours outside of Jasper...They have almost made it! As you might guess this is not my favorite fire trip but he always comes home with great stories and tons of awesome pictures. Can't wait for my firefighter to be home :) Here are some of Lincoln's fire pictures...

As you can see from the picture there are ALOT of trees there, so they burn the underbrush to avoid a huge wildfire. This picture and the last one with the river, were not taken in Texas but I thought they were neat so I blogged them :) In the picture below, if you look real close you can see Lincoln in the smoke...way cool huh!

Oh! check out Emily Evans website....we went to another Jazz game together on Monday night!
