So Diamond Bar is on fire! Jose and I are safe, our house seems to be safe, and the dogs are safe. God is good. But there are a number of people much closer to the fires than we are that we should be praying for.
Diamond Bar High and Walnut High are both evacuation centers, so work tomorrow should be interesting.
But all is well. Just checking in...

Bad Blogger, bad, bad blogger!
Hey all,
It's been a busy fall. I can't believe tomorrow is Jose's last football game of the season. While his boys have improved a ton, they don't exactly have a winning record, and it's been a real trying year for my husband. I know we'll be excited for a good game tomorrow and then to be finished with football for a few months!
We decided not to go to Europe after all (Sorry Mel!). I think the economic troubles kept a few parents wary about spending the extra cash and the prices were going to go up, so we decided to stick with the original plan and just take this year off. Anyone want to open their home for a free vacation for the Marquez's?
I am soooo excited about fall. Today is Veterans day (thank you Veterans) and I can taste Christmas break (any excuse to get up and immediately take a nap is fine with me). I'm thinking about Thanksgiving and shopping and all other kinds of good things. But the weather this week is supposed to get into the 90's. How fall like can that be if we're barbequeing Turkey! No thank you! Bring on the sweaters.
Not much else is new with us, Just trying to get some Christmas cards ordered and grade some essays...
Take care and keep us updated on how all of you guys are doing! I think my readership is down to one or two now (I've been a bad, bad blogger).
