A little taste of CA

So I've been meaning to post these pictures, but haven't gotten around to it till now. A few weeks ago there was a HUGE fire a few miles away from Rexburg, and it looked pretty bad...similar to the one in Napa a few years ago. This is what it looked like from our Apartments...

Then a few blocks away at the church...Jason looks scared.

(Mostly because I told him to act like he was.)

The Sun looked pretty cool...

And it was pretty crazy how if you looked one way there was clear blue skies...

The crazy thing about this fire was that it looked super intense, and I was dreading walking to class in smelly smoke-filled air when I woke up the next day, but to my suprise there was ZERO trace of the fire in the air! How weird. In CA it seems like forever until things get back to normal, but its so stinking windy here the smoke disappeared. I guess living in Idaho isn't so bad after all. =)
