Sharing the {Good NEWS!}

#1.) Paul Cardall received his heart transplant today! Read more about him at mytricuspidatresia.blogspot.com. I don't personally know him but he and his family are such an inspiration. !Fair warning! You may need a box of tissues as you read his posts.

#2.) Austin just received the call that he was accepted into the Placer County Fire residency program. It's different than a volunteer. They are issued uniforms and badges and when they are on duty, they are treated as any other fireman at the scene. Volunteers aren't allowed to go into the fire and do many of the things that a 'normal' firefighter would do and that's why this program is so cool. So he'll work several 24 hour shifts per month and get really good on-th-job training.

It's a good day.
