Kitchen Fire, February 2008

This is my last post for the day- I think ;) In February of 2008, just a few months before our wedding and just 4 months after moving in, Travis accidently started a kitchen fire. He was trying to make french fries on the stove and stepped away to let the grease heat up. When he returned to the kitchen, the entire stove and cabinets above the stove were in flames. About this time, I was coming in the door from work- quite a bit earlier than most days. I walked in and heard the alarms going off and saw the smoke. Travis ran to the door, frantically shouting "Our house is on fire"!!! Luckily, I knew right where the fire extinguisher was and he knew how to use it. We were able to get the fire out, get our dog out of the house and run over the his moms house. Luckily, our insurance paid for most of the damages, but we were out of our house for a few weeks and the renovations took several months. Luckily, noone was hurt and we got a brand new kitchen-- But it was definetly a scary moment! So- now we joke Travis that he can "cook a mean cabinet !!"
