4 Sleeps....and Our Empty House...

Yes, only 4 short sleeps and we are out of this house and into our new home, our caravan!
This house is looking sooooo very empty! It doesn't look or feel like home anymore. It's just an empty house that's waiting for another family to fill it with their belongings and their new memories....

Empty Lounge room...

Empty dining area...We are using our camp dining setting for now....

Empty hallway...

 

  God tells me- "What lies ahead, is far better than what you leave behind." 
I wholeheartedly believe Him.

Enjoy your Day and Take Care,

Only 5 Sleeps....and Our Spring Cleaned Caravan....

Yep, just 5 sleeps to go and we are still packing, sorting, cleaning and storing!

I did a final spring clean in our new home (our caravan). I cleaned out everything, aired out everything, vacuumed, mopped, wiped everything down and even used a whole bottle of mortein surface spray on the inside and the outside of the caravan, that better keep the creepy crawlies away, Haha!

I used this entire bottle on the caravan...Please God make it work...

After giving our caravan a very good clean, I realised I have spring cleaned it 3 times since its been sitting in our driveway! Do you know how long its been sitting in our driveway? Shane remeinded me, we've only had it for about 4 weeks :-0 What a shocker, Hahaha. Yep, I'm a bit of a clean freak!

Oh well, it looks homely and cosy I think. I wanted to make it feel like home as much as I could. I even decorated a little.
Check it out...

We will see if these come home in one piece...

So no more spring cleaning until we are on the road and our caravan actually need's it :-) 
Back to cleaning I go, not the caravan, just the house!

Take care and Have a good night!

Only 7 Sleeps...

...and we have SOOOOOOO much to do!
I guess that's what happens when you move out of a house and into a caravan, Haha!
I'm not even going to share our very large to do list. It will scare you :-0
I'll just say, we have wayyy to much to do, but we are trying to focus on the good times ahead :-) The packing, storing, sorting and cleaning will all be over soon and then we can enjoy beach hopping, ice cream eating, church hopping, meeting new people, family time and all the fun things our journey is going to bring. I'm looking forward to it all!
Okay, I need to get back to work now. Break time is over!

Keep Smiling and Take Care,
Dimi xo

8 Sleeps...

Elissa's Beautiful count down...

Only 8 sleeps to go...We are feeling very excited and a bit scared about what lies ahead for us, but God keeps reminding us....
                                Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.
Thank You Lord :-)

It was our second last week today with our Church Family (Encounter Church in Sunbury, Vic) and it was quite sad. Our Pastor prayed for us and our church family blessed us with gifts, cards and encouraging words, we feel so very blessed. 
It was sad to say goodbye to the children's ministry. The children have a very special place in my heart and I feel very blessed to have been a part of their lives the last few years. I'm excited to see this ministry grow in the future :-)
It's been an amazing few years serving and being a part of Encounter Church. We look forward to seeing all the amazing things God is going to do in Sunbury, and in Encounter church in the near future. We also look forward to serving God in many different ways over this next chapter of our lives.

Thank you Encounter Church for all you've done for our Family xo
Thank you God for never giving up on us and for always leading us xo

Only 8 sleeps to go...How exciting!
Take care,
Dimi, Shane, Elissa, Serena xo

Zoey's Sleepover...

I mentioned in another post that Zoey was going to her lovely foster families house for an overnight sleepover. The sleepover sounded like it mostly went well, Zoey just needs to adjust to living in a different house with different people and other pets. I think she will be more than fine and adjust well once we are gone and she moves in with her foster family!
Zoey came home the next morning, she was super excited and super energetic. 
Check out these pics of us playing...What's funny is that Zoey hardly ever fetched a ball in the past, she actually preferred her rope, but she has recently become a little hooked on fetching her blue ball. So cute and  so funny.....

    She's had enough playtime and is ready for a nap...

Yep, that's correct! We only have 9 sleeps until we move out of our house and into our new home on wheels...
