Far and Few Between....

Sorry about the lack of posting...things have been a little crazy around here.

Thought I would share some photos from our latest Nash Photography shoot:

What a Day!

What a day...

Just to sum it up...

I received a phone call less than 5min after crawling out of bed, that my in-law's barn was on fire and no one knew how to reach my MIL.

Well, that should have been easy since her car was in the shop...she should have been home!

I tossed the kids in the car (not literately) and drove up there (we only live 2 miles away). The ENTIRE barn was engulfed by the time I got there...and still no MIL in sight.

We figure the heat lamps the baby chicks were under is what started it, and I was hoping that she hadn't tried to save the chick (barn fires go quick...all the dry hay and such).

After a few quick phone calls (and still couldn't find her) I grabbed the camera to start taking pictures. I knew that's what she would have been doing. I finally heard the firetrucks and moved my car out of the way for them.

Needless to say, it took over an hour to track her down... she was with my brother-in laws girlfriend. It was nerve wracking not knowing if she was in the fire! We're pretty close and when her car is in the shop, she usually goes places with me or I know when she goes with someone else.

After we knew she was safe, I started a mental toll of what had been in the barn:

Tractor ($40k)

Boat ($30k

Motorcycle ($10k)

4-wheelers ($5k)

Stock trailer ($20k)

all the hay for the livestock this winter

antique saddles...the list goes on.

Even better? They don't have insurance on the barn, only the boat and motorcycle were covered under their own policies. We're still waiting to hear if the barn would have been covered as an outbuilding under the home-owners policy.

They have no savings either. I want to host a 'Rummage Sale', but they're too proud to let me.

I'm just rambling now, but I hope we figure something out soon so we can get some $$ to build a new barn before winter REALLY hits!
