Fire Company Christmas Party

I went to bed Friday night around 03:10 hours I believe it was and I got up Saturday afternoon at 12:10 hours when Bubba called my cell phone and asked me if I wanted to go along with him to get the beer, which I said wasn't a problem. So I decided to use the bathroom before I went up and Bubba called me back and said that Robin had to go to Eville so she was going to go with him, but he asked me if I could help Lonny go through the remaining fruit in the trailer again. Sp I changed into street clothes and headed up to the fire house. I got there and LeeAnn and Katina were there. LeeAnn and Lonny were in the trailer and I got in to help go through the fruit. I got my two extra cases of Large Navels for the lady at Tab's. LeeAnn and Katina then left to go deliver her extra fruit and then Schoffstall showed up and he helped me and Lonny go through the extra fruit. I then loaded my cases up and then once LeeAnn and Katina got back I helped them get some things set up in the hall. I then left around 13:50 hours and headed into town to drop off the two cases of fruit. I then headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things. I then changed into my dress clothes for the Christmas Party and left the house at 16:30 hours and headed up to the fire hall. I got there and Bubba , Katina, LeeAnn and House and Michelle were already there. People slowly started to come in. Once New Buffalo came in, Bubba asked me to go down with the station with him to go over the trucks with the guys from New Buffalo. We then had the meal which again was very delicous. I had 3 slices of ham and a stuffed chicken breast and a piece of chocolate cake. Then it was time for the awards to ge given out. Bubba first gave out the certificates to the mutual aid companies and then he went into the fire company awards. My father got the Hose Head Award. LeeAnn got the Most Imrpoved Firefighter, I got the Raymond Urich, Sr. Award. Schoffstall got Top Responder with me being second and my father third. Jean got Top Fire Police, and I got Top Training with Troy being second and LeeAnn was third. Bubba then gave out the three chief's awards with two going to Troy and Lonny and the last one going to Tom Welker. Bubba then gave a plaque to the five that passed Firefighter 1 so far. Then it was time for the funny awards. I got the bent metal award and a speed limit sign for hitting the oil tank and fire station last Tuesday night. I also got the Indian Rake Hanlde that I broke back on the ridge fire in Halifax Township. Dave then got a grant application for a tiller. Bubba then got a leash and a pair of steel toed slippers for him to wear. We then watched the slide show and then they handed out the job sweats and bags and then they gave out the door prizes. Then it was time for Karoke. My father actually got up and sang one song with me. Everyone I think had a very good time. Again I don't know how many beers I had. I know I started drinking when Bubba started to hand out the awards. After me, Troy and Bubba helped Lee pack his stuff up, I left and headed on home around 04:30 hours. Once at home I changed into pj's and went bed to get some sleep. I woke up this afternoon around 12:20 hours. I got out of bed and read the paper. I still had a slight headache, so I went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke back up at 16:45 hours. I then ate dinner and then changed into street clothes and headed up to the fire house for my father's con-ed class tonight. After class was over I got my father to help me set the tables back up and then he headed on home. I then swept the floor and mopped some of the bad looking areas. I then wiped the tables down and then put the rest of the chairs up. I then took the trash out and replaced the bags. I then took all of the beer out of the cooler that me and Troy carried down to the fire station last night, and put it in the station fridge. Lonny was over in the fruit trailer and when I came out of the station he was already done and came down by the station. I took the light out of the back of his truck and he brought the key in and then wrapped the extension cord up and put it back on the Engine. We both then left. I called Robin to tell her that I took care of everything in the hall and the beer in the station, but it went to her voice mail. So I then called Jess since I saw that she was home when I left. I told her and then we ended up talking about the party last night. I then came inside and then Robin called me back and I told her what I had just told Jess. I then took a shower and had a light snack and am soon going to go to bed as I am tired.
