Hi,

Its been a crazy week here. Hot like crazy Fires burning down Arizona. Temperatures is going to be 109 tomorrow...... joy.

My Sister and her family were evacuated a few days ago from their home. When they left houses at the end of the street they live on were on fire.. My parents were told to leave the day after my sisters family did. Just found out my parents house survived but not sure yet if my sisters house has...Here is a video someone put together I found touching.

Other than that things are going well. I sent off for my C.B.A. courses, finished my business classes, and registered for Twist n Shout. http://www.balloonconvention.com/ So Ill be up in Phx the 1st thru the 5th of Feb. 2012 . Any o f you Phx peeps wanna get together for drinks or something let me know. I am hoping to finish my C.B.A. stuff so I can take the practical and earn my C.B.A.

And whats a FuDD blog with out a few balloons ... nothing haha so here yea are.

Apart from the unfortunate fires, that weather actually sounds nice to me... I'm so sick of living in Michigan.

Also, I'm digging the King Kong balloon setup!

I hope your sister's house and your family are ok. The heat in the south west is horrible. I love the balloons though!

The only thing that blows about living in Michigan is the never ending winters. Some of this nice 65-85 degree weather with a nice breeze has been amazing this year.

I was just in Arizona last week visiting the guys at the House. Then spent a few days up at Bear Lake. It was pretty smokey but amazing weather, I didn't realize the fires were so bad though.

Sorry to hear about your sister and parents having to evac. =( You have my prayers FuDD.

It's nice to see the contrast of destruction and creation. It's confusing to see a house burnt down and a balloon animal. But I guess there's beauty in everything to be beheld.
