WE HAD A HOUSE FIRE AND LOST EVERYTHING

We had a house fire on April 28, 2008 and lost everything. No one was home when the fire started my husband was at work, the boys were at school and I was on a field trip with my son Cameron at the zoo. Our dog Buddy was at home in the house and he did not make it.

This is the fire

This is Russ seeing the house the first time

This is Levi just seeing the house for the first time after the fire. He is upset about the fire and about loosing Buddy.

This is my husband Russ at the house after the fire. This was his grandparents house where his mom grew up. He is sitting on a wood chest that made it from the fire. The chest belonged to his grandparents and was filled with stuff that has memories to us.The top was just a little burnt.

This is Russ going through the house to see what else has survived.


Russ found our wedding album (what was left of it)





The Red Cross helped us, our church helped us, relief society brought us meals, my kids school helped us, the teachers and principle, friends and family.

We stayed at a hotel a few days while we looked for a new place to live.


This is at the hotel



At the hotel


Boys swimming at the hotel while I try to find us a place to live



Me and my son Dylan out looking for a place to live. These are the apartments we move to in Clearfield, Utah. It is farther from Salt Lake but it is a place we like and can afford.



This is my husband with his mom at our new apartment when we are moving in

This is my husband Russ at the front runner he rides to work in Salt Lake and back. Cameron missed him while he was at work so after work when Russ got off the train Cameron ran and hugged him. (I love this picture)

In our new kitchen looking at a picture Dylan made that says "at our house, at our hotel, and at our new apartment "

Life must go on!
