Sunday a day for rest

Sunday a day for rest... Today is snowed in Cheyenne...which was a good thing...you don't feel so guilty being lazy and laying around the house all day when the weather is bad outside...Collin had a long night at work last night with lots of calls all night long...so he had good reason to want to try to catch up on his sleep...I usually manage well when I am alone and he is at work...but last night was different...we had our usual 9:00pm good night phone call...when it got interrupted by a fire call...which is fine...he quickly says that's me and he is gone...I usually do fine...go to bed...say a prayer...and off to sleep...but within minutes of him hanging up...I hear the fire truck go roaring by...with not the usual siren...but the kind of siren that tells you that you better get out of the way because this is a real emergency...I know Collin is driving that fire truck and it just kind of made my heart race and makes you realize that his job can get real serious and scary really quick...it is a good reality to have sometimes ...to really appreciate every moment you have with each other...easy to say but tough to do...but when Collin came home Sunday morning he came home to 3 dogs waiting at the door and a anxious wife to see him...hot cinnamon rolls from the oven and I cooked him his favorite meal for dinner...its been a good day...full tummy's lazy naps on the couch and the whole family safe at home....
