The fire dept that bubba was in when we lived in Chandler had their X-mas party. Man my ass was dragging all day yesterday since I had to work OT, bubba came to pick me up, got breakfast and did some shopping at Sam's Club till 1pm. Went home, loaded the truck and got ready to go to his sister's before going to the party later. Needless to say, I was strapped for sleep even though I dozed on the way and at his sister's and the way home.

Bubba was contemplating on if the dept was going to give him something for the time that he served there, maybe like a paper certificate or what have you. After the dinner is when they do the awards and such. Once it was time for the main issuing of the person of the yr, it came to shock that Bubba was the candidate. I could tell bubba was overwhelmed as well as some of the other guys. The one dude's face was so red, I was waiting for his head to explode from emotion. Bubba got a really nice plaque for Firefighter of the Year. Thinking about everything that he's done for the dept. for the 2 yrs we lived there, he deserved it. Plus they said that when it came to voting, it was pretty much unanimous except for two ppl that didn't vote for him.

All in all it was a good night except for being so damn sleepy.

I hope you have a decent holiday regardless of everything your still going through. I hope that Kev doesn't keep you from enjoying yourself. Wish I had more time to be able to see you while I'm in PA. I know my sister told me yesterday that she's so anxious/excited for me to come home tehehehehehe.

Thanx for the congrats! It was well deserved on his end.

Sleep??? What's that? ^_~

Congrats to your husband on getting Firefighter of the Year! I'm guessing the two people who didn't vote for him was one of the ones who looked like he was going to explode.

I like your man, and I believe he is probably a very dedicated firefighter. Good for him!

Actually the one who's face was red, won it back in '01. I didn't want to say it in the post but what I meant about the emotions and overwhelmingness was that it looked like some of the guys were about to cry for happiness regarding to bubba cause they knew of the hard work he's done and just for being the nice guy that he is. Not only that but they were emotional cause they didn't want him to leave or want us to move but hey, ya gotta do what is best for your own good and lifestyle.

Well the one person who didn't vote, voted for themselves and the other voted for someone else.

I believe he is probably a very dedicated firefighter.

I can imagine he is too with the stories he tells me when he comes back from a fire call or a medical call. He seems to put alot of effort into it unlike some of the ppl.

The dept he joined where we live now, are both paid and vol. and they don't cover much of the medical calls, mostly fire and accidents. So cause of that, it has been quiet from time to time compared to where we use to live.

Thanx for the comment!

No problem. He's a really good guy. You can tell him I said so, if he remembers me. ^__^

that is so cool! he must of been hugely surprised- and by the response of the crew he deserves it. bet you are really proud of him. >^.^

Surprised he was indeed. I know I was in a bit of shock too and there were some of the guys that had tears in their eyes. Plus its also from the fact that they hated to see him go.
