I walked into my meeting Tuesday and my client said there’s a fire. It’s East of us in the mountains. They shut down a major highway.
All I could think about was my boyfriend. He was about 90 mins from our cabin spending the day racing. His new happy hobby.
I text him and he said he saw the fire when he was driving. He was heading back and we told him to take a different route.
It didn’t sit well with me. I made a decision to leave the mountains that night and head to a hotel near the airport so we didn’t have any issues leaving the next morning for our flight.
I feared the shift of the wind would cause the fire to be near us. We were right there. What if we have to evacuate in the middle of the night?
It was stressful. Sad. We spent the weekend in those mountains. It’s so dry out and windy. A tree fell and struck an electrical wire which is how the fire started. 140 acres were damaged. A pilot died while trying to put out the fire.
It was so sad. It really overwhelmed me. It showed how something so beautiful could change within seconds. Seconds. Life can change.

Never take life for granted. Luckily the fire was put out by Thursday. We were able to stay in Denver for the night and our flight went great. But make decisions in your life you’re comfortable with. I was happy my boyfriend agreed with the decision to leave.
