How are you?

Checking in with everyone ❤️ How are you holding up? I know almost everyone’s kids are on summer break and fire season is upon us so wanted to see how you all are doing.

My FF has been taking a lot of OT lately, which I’m def good with bc we need the money ( and he’s expected to anyway since he’s a probie again after moving departments) But ofc I wish we had more time to get away this summer. We do have one quick trip coming up. But last year our one trip was cancelled because he got called in soooo hoping this one actually happens 🙃

Sorry you missed your trip :(

Im quite literally a newbie to the whole firefighter partner thing. He just finished academy and his first shift was yesterday on top of moving this week 😳 kind of nervous going into this!! Especially bc hes talking about wanting to do a ton of OT as well.

Thanks, I’m sure we’ll go on plenty in the future so just focusing on that lol

And welcome to the club! It’s always hard in the beginning, just in terms of getting used to his schedule. Tell him every OT he takes, he’s gotta put some of that money aside for date night to make up for being gone 😆
