Update - We have been able to be with neighbors and begin the difficult journey of processing our individual and collective tragedies. Also realizing we won’t be home for a long time. Thursday we move to a more permanent place to live with generous friends. #marshallfire

This 1922 class photo 1922 hangs in the entryway of the Marshall Schoolhouse, my home and survivor of #MarshallFire . Now, a few days into the new year and 100 years since this photo, I am reflecting on all we have. Please visit my instagram post to read more. ( IG: Jenny Simpson)

Big challenges bring out the best in me.

I’m finding out what I’m made of and it’s brighter than fire. #marshallfire

Update - after 20 days we finally have gas and water!! Meant to move to an apartment today but got delayed by the ice storm (go figure!). It’ll be months, we are told, until we are back in our home. Our connection with neighbors has never been so sincere and strong. #marshallfire

Thank you Erin for helping me begin to convey our experience. #MarshallFire

Headed home after a fun weekend. Thanks to the Pac-12 Conference Colorado Buffaloes and my fellow inductees for a really memorable event. (And congrats to our Colorado Buffaloes Track & XC who crushed #ncaaindoorchamps … my mind and heart were there!)

Again. Wtf #NCARfire Please, everyone be safe.

Pre-evacuation warning has gone out to the following areas: West of Hwy. 93, north of Eldorado Canyon State Park, east side of Walker Ranch Open Space and south of Greenbriar Boulevard. Be ready to evacuate and keep alert. #NCARFire boulderoem.com/emergency-stat…

Staying put for now but keeping an eye on things. Lots of evacuation traffic. Prayers for those firefighters. It’s a hot, windy day. #NCARfire

We will be live-streaming a press conference from the scene at approximately 5pm #NCARfire The fire is currently at 60 acres in size with zero containment

#NCARFire evacuation areas include 19,000 people and 8,000 homes. The fire is currently at 123 acres and zero containment.

Update: still at home. Communicating with neighbors with different views of the fire. It *appears* to be staying up along the foothills and traveling South. What could burn between us and the current fire is mostly already burned. Weirdly, that’s probably a good thing. #NCARfire

Update: from our back yard it looks like the fire has really diminished. Winds are calm. Smoke still continues but much smaller plumes. Be safe Boulder. ❤️ #NCARfire

I’m kind of over the campfire smell for a while, thanks.

Update: Last one for the night. Big caravan of horse trailers and fire trucks passing our house. Looks like they’re headed home. THANK YOU to BoCo Open Space Boulder Fire-Rescue Boulder Police Dept. and others for all your preparation for a day like today and hard work today. #NCARfire

After 3 long months, we are finally back home. Thankfully, the Marshall community is walking this long road together. #marshallfire 2016 Olympian Jenny Simpson Helping Her Colorado Community Heal After Narrow Escape From Marshall Fire - NewsBreak newsbreak.com/news/255676876…
