Things I Did and Things To Do

It's been a while since I have written anything but now I finally have some downtime to write about what's been going on in my life. First off we moved out to Corona! :) So far the apartment looks great and I can't wait for the Johnson family to see it. I will be taking pictures this week and posting them up. The only things we don't have yet it our dining table and our mirror that will go in the dining room. Speaking of my table and mirror this last Saturday my parents and I went to the Swap meet. I drove down from my apartment which is about 20 min away from my house and got into my parents car and left for the Swap Meet. The main reason to go was to see how cheap the dining tables were so Matt and I could finish furnishing our new beautiful place. I saw the perfect table and my parents were nice enough to buy it for us as a house warming gift. After that purchase my mother said I needed some kind of mirror to put behind the table and that she would get that for us also. I told her that was ok and she didn't need to buy our table and a mirror for us but she insisted. It was kinda funny cause when I was looking for a mirror I was looking at the one I wanted and then I turned my head and saw a kid in one of those wooden wagons that you can rent at the swap meet, and then I looked back at my mirror and then it hit me! That little boy was ERIK, Matt's cousin haha. I looked around and saw Alma and gave her a hug and she said she was looking at the same mirror I was for her bathroom. I said Hi to Eric and as always he had his finger in his mouth and smiled he looked so cute! What are the odds I'd see the two of them. On the way back we ate at the TMP and had Pick Up Stix it was so good. Matthew doesn't really care for Chinese food so when I get a chance I eat it. As we were driving back to my parents house up Jamboree we saw a lot of smoke from the fires. We got home and everything was ok but no sooner than I walked through the front door Matthew called and said right behind his apartment complex he works for is on fire and that he was on his way over to my parents cause everyone was evacuating. I don't remember much cause I was just happy he was ok. As we were waiting for him we turned on the news and the fires were going crazy. It started in Corona, and moved down to Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills area. Of coarse we move a week ago to Corona and now there's a fire. Our community was ok. It was not close to the fires, but we stayed at my parents house sat night due to the closed freeways and then we stayed Sunday night cause we weren't sure how traffic was going to be trying to get to school today. Anyways, Matthew got back ok and he smelt worse than a fire pit. On the news they were closing the 241, 91, 57, and 60 freeways. About 10-20 minutes after Matthew got back his complex was on fire! It was crazy! It burned about 50-60 apartments. We felt so bad. Sunday Matt got called in to help those people who lived at the community and when he told those people whose apartment burned come would cry and some got really angry. For those that didn't burn down most were green tagged so they were able to stay last night. Now it's Monday and although I'm sad for those without homes, I'm happy for what I have and will be getting in the next few days. It's kinda funny this all happened around Thanksgiving. It's the Holiday to be thankful for something. I'm thankful for my wonderful Husband and our families that we get to see and create wonderful memories with. :)
