We figured out yesterday that the houses on the left and right and the one across the street were burned to the ground yesterday. If our house survived, it would be a miracle. But, honestly, I'm not sure whether it would be better to have our house be the only one standing in the middle of a field of black, or to have it burned down with all the others. Which is worse? If it was still standing we'd have major smoke damage and would have to throw away a lot of stuff. My dad was saying that the roaring we'd heard the other day (I might not have mentioned that, but we heard a roaring and we thought it was the wind) was not the wind, it was the fire. That was kind of scary to figure out. We're just hoping that some of the most important stuff that we had to leave are safe. Mom accidentally left all the baby albums, all of Ella's favorite stuffed animals and blankets etc. I managed to grab my biology notes, but none of the other biology stuff. That's the only thing that I left that I would have liked to grab. But, my grandma was saying, "It's just stuff. It can all be replaced. What matters is that we're all together." She's so right:) We went shopping yesterday, because we each only grabbed one or two outfits and that was fun. The only problem was that Liam was crabby. You know, happy until something doesn't go his way. This experience is so going in a book someday.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
