You Guessed it...and Some Thoughts...

Only 3 sleeps to go! I'm sure I'm boring everyone with our count down but It's important to me to document it.....It won't go on forever!

Shane and I have been in an exhausted state all week. We thought we didn't have much to do, but we still had sooooo very much to do.
Today was the final inspection for the new home owners, so we worked hard to clean our house and pack it up by today. The final inspection went well and we are happy about that. 

So far, our beautiful Girls have been coping well with living in our empty house, having crazy parents running around cleaning and organising like headless chooks, and having a lack of food in the house (haven't done a proper grocery shop in a while because we've been so busy). The girls are coping well with the many changes they are facing, and I'm VERY proud of them.
We are all looking forward to the fun times ahead :-) 


On a side note...
We woke up in the early hours of this morning to this sight...The house across the road was up in complete flames....

Thank God the house was empty and no one was hurt. It was a very scary experience to watch a house burn down, especially one so close to our house. I'm so very glad that no one was hurt, that would have been extremely terrible.

After a VERY long night of watching a home burn down and comforting scared children, it had me thinking...Life is sooooo, SOOOOO very precious and short. I believe at times we place to much value on the material things we have. These things can be gone in a blink of an eye, or like this morning, in a very scary fire!
It made me think...Yes, material things are helpful and some can be seen as even essential, but how important are they really? How much do we value them over other things? What is really important? People are important to me, my family and God are important to me. I appreciate many material things, however I hope in time material things become less and less important to me!
I'm so glad no one was hurt and I'm so glad my wonderful neighbours were not hurt.

Just wanted to share my thoughts...
Good night and Take care,
