Fire!

So, my little brother, who has been trying to become a firefighter for at least 5 years now, had his first day as one yesterday. They had an actual fire, to which he and his partner were first on scene (which means he ran a hose, went in the building, the whole deal). As soon as that was done, they had to go take care of an 8 car pileup on the interstate, and at 1 in the morning, a whole family brought in their dog that had got caught up in some barbed wire. Quite a day. The thing that's so awesome about it all, is that not only our whole family, but an unknown number of other people have been praying for this for a long time. The best part is, that about a month ago, he decided not to give up on it, but to go for something else that was a little more for sure, to put his family and their needs before his dream. And just a little bit after he let it go, Someone Else took it and ran with it. Amazing.
Also, they're going to have a little girl in Nov. Another great thing, cause they won't have to buy new clothes, since they still have Mackenzie's old stuff!
