Hello! I’m Meag.
Thank you for allowing me to share my life with you! I am the proud wife of my firefighter, Sean.
I am also the proud mother of our handsome, kind, analytical, fun-loving son,
Jack; and of our beautiful, sassy, free-spirited daughter, Lucy.
Sean and I met our junior year of high school. We remained friends for many years before
deciding we didn’t want to go through life without each other. We were married
in 2006 and will be celebrating our ten year anniversary in September. Our family loves spending time together. We love taking camping trips to the nearby
mountains, visiting my family in Montana and occasionally, we’ll hop on a plane
and jet across the country. Jack is
heavily involved in Tae-Kwon-Do, basketball and baseball and Lucy just started
dance this year. Sean is a full-time firefighter who also moonlights as a Fire
Science and EMT Instructor for a nearby community college. He also manages an internship program for his
fire department. I am the Director of
Sales for an assisted living and stay busy marketing to local doctors and
hospitals to drive business to my community. Our time together is often hectic and
fleeting, but we try to make the most of it.
Sean has been working full time for the fire department
since 2007 and it seems like life has gotten increasingly busy since then. I often work over 40
hours every week and attempting to manage everyone’s schedule is overwhelming
and crazy. Thankfully, Sean and I have
each other and a village of people who help us tag-team our way through.
The fire life is a good life. It’s sometimes a lonely life when Sean is on
shift. It’s sometimes a sad life when he comes home from a hard shift; but in
general I feel very blessed and happy to be living it. I want this blog to enlighten people about how
good I have it, but also to clue you in
about the struggles and stress of being a fire wife. It’s not a life for everyone. Like Sean always says, “You can’t do this job
if all you want is a cool t-shirt.” Speaking of that, someone make me a
t-shirt.
