so last night Tyler and I were driving to his GF's and there was this HUGE fire on the street we used to live on. A ton of traffic was being diverted and there was smoke billowing into the sky. I was saying to Tyler that it was massive!
Anyway- Tyler mentions today that the house that was on fire.... was our old apartment building! YIKES right? This was the only building I ever lived in that had more than 2 apartments in it. It had four. The one directly above me had retrofitted the attic so that it had a first and 2nd floor. Anyway we drove by tonight and the place is seriously torched. The entire attic/2nd floor on both sides is gone. There is a big gaping hole where the roof used to be. Seriously even the frame is gone. I wonder what will happen, and I hope they all had renters insurance.
Did I mention that this was also one of the worst apartments I ever lived in? The landlords were seriously out of their comfort zone with bills, and the water actually was shut off, which is what prompted me to move to another apartment that I ended up living in for 3 1/2 yrs before we bought this house. They never fixed anything. AND the place was TINY. Which would have been ok for a while if it were just Ty and I, but I had my 2 nephews living with me and the 3 of them shared a teeny tiny bedroom which was aweful for them. Of course, they were all really REALLY young, so I guess they didn't mind.
Anyway - it was just a bit overwhelming to see the house all burned up. And really thankful that I don't live there anymore... AND that there are great promises for me and protection over my things in the Bible :)

Thank God you don't live there any more! It's really frightening to see the power of fire.
