totally rad.
get ready for tons of fun old photos.
i went to my moms yesterday and ended up in the basement taking cover from possible tornadoes and found a ton of awesome old photos.
i thought they were way too amazing to not share.
enjoy.
panic at the civic...
i have had a camera in my hand since i was pretty much born.
here is proof.
last friday night at the red cross omaha beef football game i thought my new nikon d90 was as good as gone and felt like that 4 year old in the photo.
here is how it went down: we were down in the green room counting our pass the bucket money when i sat it down to help. then i went to get more help- forgetting i sat it down, because i was still carrying around my purse and camera bag. then i went to help brent load his car real quick still forgetting i didn't have my camera. by the time i got out to the car i noticed that my bag was too light, so i ran downstairs to find all of my co-workers and my camera gone!!!!
i pretty much threw up in my mouth, worked myself into a horrible panic, ran all over the civic looking for my coworkers- and none of them had it. so i continued to run and pray that some honest employee that found it in the green room took it to security. while running around like a loonie tune a security guard that i had been talking to all night (that looked like steve martin)started waving at joel to get me...
he had saw me with the camera all night and then saw it sitting there so he took it to the office and told the office manager its the red cross girls.
thank god.
thank you steve martin.
you are my hero!
you saved be from going completely manic in front of everyone at the civic.

Red Cross Responds to Three Fires in Less Than 10 Hours
17 Heartland Chapter volunteers assist 65 people after last night’s fires
Last night was a busy one for volunteers and staff at the Heartland Chapter of the American Red Cross as they responded three fires in the Omaha metro in less than 10 hours.
The night started as a celebration of Red Cross Month with volunteers and staff gathering at the Civic Auditorium for Red Cross Night with Omaha Beef Football. As the fires started many of the volunteers and staff that were there to help raise money for Red Cross disasters were called to help with Omaha’s number one disaster- apartment and house fires.
The first of the three fires started around 5:00 p.m. and was at an apartment complex on 33rd and Webster. Twelve units were damaged leaving more than 25 people displaced. The Heartland Chapter had a team of 13 volunteers and staff members there to help the families in need. Food, clothing, comfort and care were provided along with a bilingual interpreter. Six of the families also received emergency lodging.
The second fire of the evening started around 11:00 p.m. in Louisville, Neb. The single-family house fire also left a family of six displaced. The Heartland Chapter had a team of seven there to assist this family with their immediate needs of food, clothing, and emergency lodging. Six of the volunteers came almost directly from the previous fire to help out.
And just when Red Cross volunteers and staff thought that the night of fires was over they received a call around 1:45 a.m. that there was yet another 12-unit apartment fire in Bellevue at the Britain Towne Apartments. Thirty-four residents were displaced and also were assisted with emergency needs based on the damage to their apartments. A team of seven volunteers, four of whom were also at one or both of the previous fires, were there to make sure that the 12 displaced families also had their emergency needs met.
The Heartland Chapter’s Disaster Action Team are volunteers who respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to the emergency needs of our community. The Red Cross is grateful for the gifts for the time, talents and money that make this possible. The Heartland Chapter would also like to thank the Loess Hills Chapter of the American Red Cross for letting them borrow their Emergency Response Vehicle to be able to respond to all of last night’s fires.
The Red Cross depends on the generous support of Omaha metro residents to respond to our neighbors who are affected by home fires. You can help the Red Cross continue to be ready to respond and help fire victims by making a financial contribution to Heartland Chapter today. To make a financial donation, visit www.redcrossomaha.org, call 402.343.7700, or mail a check to 2912 S. 80th Ave, Omaha, NE 68124.
