WE LAUGHED WE CREID WE ALMOST DIED

...my entry just got deleted so here is a quick update.

I went to LA to met up with my big sis, from Canada, and her baby to go shopping. My nephew only likes me when my sister is not around. He is co cute and forced cuddled with me he got on my lap and took my arm to go around him.



While we at the hotel in LA a bunch of people we talking about the fires. I went outside the hotel to check it out. It smelled like smoke and it was really windy. The fire was in the higher hills so I though NBD (no big deal- learned that one from the kiddos in school). My sister and I went to target saw the helicopters dropping off water and again I thought NBD. HA, we even took pictures. Then we went to the mall about 30 minutes away from the hotel. Jon called and he even said you shouldn't worry its not like your hotel is in the hills...wait a secong MY HOTEL IS IN THE HILLS!! My brother in-law called us to say his class was cancelled due to the loud helicopters flying overhead and he said it was snowing ashes. I called the hotel to see how bad it really was, when the attendant answered she yelled WE ARE EVACUATING! WE ARE EVACUATING! The fire alarms were going off and she hung up. I panicked and was so scared I thought the hotel was on fire. Luckliy my sister's husband packed all of our things and got the heck out of there. Within a couple hours of him packing our things the town was gridlocked from evacuation. We were so lucky! Even 30 min away it was snowing ashes.
