FI's name: Chris

His station name: Henrico

I hate the schedule!  He also works in the ER and trains special military operation medics.  In 2009 he worked every holiday expect Halloween.  Yep mine's hot in his uniform too!

your name: Libby

FI's name: Dan

His station name: Newberg Fire Department 

I would definitely say his schedule is the most difficult thing to deal with, but it is a lot better than when he was in paramedic school and working and i was in school and working all at the same time. This year he works every holiday and both our birthdays. Pretty crappy for our first married year together, but he's worth every minute of it!

Me & the FI both work the same place different schedules... & we will actaully work for the people with kids on the holidays.. I hope me giving up ALL my holidays pays off when i decide to have kids. Plus i can't complain about double or triple holiday pay... I guess missing holidays grows on you. You'll get use to it ladies.

I think its funny that 3 out of 4 of our FI's names are Chris tho :)

I wouldn't care so much about the holidays if we didn't have kids.  But I wonder how much longer I can keep up Santa makes a special trip for us because daddy is a hero and has to work.    

Me: Aubrie

DH: Chris (another one...lol)

Station: Arvada, CO FD

Love/Hate about "the job": Umm...right now it's the time he doesn't have at home with me...selfish I know. He's currently going through academy for Arvada on the weekends...and he has over night shifts at Lafayette twice a week so I feel like he's never really at home. He's also a volunteer on both departments working towards a paid position so he's trying to spend as much extra time as he can "getting his face" out there. We're hoping he gets hired on sometime before the end of this year or early next. Fingers crossed

Me: Lanie

FH: Josh

Station: Iberia Parish Fire District #1

Love/Hate about the job: Love: That he is getting do what he has always wanted to do. And cause he is HOT in uniform! Hate: Getting his shift switched around every couple of months really sucks because just when you get excited about him being around for a holiday it changes. And the volunteer dept he is in has a meeting every week and it usually falls on the day that he is coming off his 24 :( so I don't normally get to see him until about 9:30-10:00 the first night he is home!

Me: Morgan

FH: Jason

Station: Essex FD

Love/Hate about "the job": He is a volunteer so he leaves home for calls at all hours 365 days a year 24/7...that can get old.  I can't count how many dinners have gone cold because he's left for fire calls.  I love how happy firefighting makes him though!
