FIRE!

So we have yet again a really weird story, luckily this time it wasn't in our apartment. So when Jed and I went to conference, in order for him and I to stay together we found a cheaper hotel down the road from where my team was staying. Jed and I were minding our own business watching a really intense tv show (revolution, it's our new favorite) when an alarm started to sound. We both looked at each other and Jed asked "Is that the fire alarm?" I think I might have answered yes but I don't really remember because the next minutes were frantic panic. Jed being the smart one immediately ran for the door to leave while I on the other hand started gathering all our stuff together. We know who paid attention to fire safety and who didn't. In my defense I did yell at jed to check the door handle before opening the door. Quick note, our hotel was two different buildings right next to one another. We were in the main one and out our window faced the other building. Ok, so as i'm packing my stuff together I randomly open the curtain to our room and the building across from us is on FIRE! Jed's like "Oh crap we gotta go! That can spread fast!" So with all our stuff in hand we bolt for the door and start heading out. We ran into other guests and told them that the next building was on fire. Without any panic some people just said "oh ok" and one man said "oh no the front desk said someone pulled the alarm" we informed him that, that was not the case and that we actually saw flames. Still no panic! What was wrong with these people, because obviously we weren't over reacting :) So next Jed and I went to the front desk and told him that it wasn't a prank but a real fire and he began to panic and call for help but we could already hear sirens. Jed and I stood outside for the next half hour (in the pouring rain) watching about seven fire trucks pull up, fire men breaking windows to let smoke escape, and the hotel manager running back in forth in a panic.  Though it didn't effect our room we (mostly me) were freaked out and didn't want to stay there anymore. I ended up calling my team and we headed back to hotel in which they were staying at. It was a very eventful night!

Just catch'n up!

Wow so much has happened in the last month! I definitely found out that i'm terrible about keeping up with this blog! So once again here is a quick review on what's been happening at the Harrison household.
Halloween was a blast as usual. We had a fun time with friends and family carving pumpkins and watching scary movies. We even played a "angry birds" type game with our neighbors launching pumpkins with a giant rubber band at a pinata! It was great fun haha.

I had three races in the last month and they were so much fun! My favorite race was in Wisconsin where I had a break through race and made the conference team. Conference was in Portland and it was super muddy and rainy. It made for an interesting race but it was sure fun. Jed got to come to that race along with my parents and Richard (his team Gonzaga is in our conference). It was a blast being with family! Our last race was in Fort Collins Colorado and I was just an alternate but still got to travel with the team. Unfortunately we had a very off day and we didn't make it to nationals. I'm super excited for the experience that i got this season and i'm so stoked for a upcoming track season. 

Jed and I both had our birthdays recently (mine October 25th & Jeds November 3rd). For Jeds birthday we were able to go to Brigham City and spend time with his family and adorable new niece Eleanor Ramsay! She's going to go by Nora so Jed and I now have to Nora(h) nieces! Jed did a great job spoiling for my birthday! We went out to tucanos and he got me a long board so we can long board together!
