WOW WOW WOW

WOW. I'm not gonna make any excuses. I'm just not really good at this. I hope to, I'm trying to get better at it.

Over the past couple of months quite a bit has happened. 

House updates

Brick paving around the outside is almost complete.

Plans for our pool are in council awaiting approval.

We got curtains put in the bedrooms.

Life updates

Cohen is now almost 16 months old.

I celebrated my 26th birthday and got very spoilt.

We got news that Owen, Bronya and the girls are returning home. YAY!

We shared in receiving a new minister in Rockingham congregation.

We celebrated lots of family birthdays. (too many to mention separately)

We recieved two new nephews in just 4 days, Judah Johan & Fletcher Henry.

We bought a sweet old school 3 wheeler motorbike.

We endured a once in a century storm ;)

Just to name a few. :)

Wishing everybody a safe, happy and warm night. 

Be back soon

Love Hayley.

Photobooth fun

One night after Cohen had his bath we attempted to get some quick photos on photobooth. Actually it started out as us trying to get Cohen to see himself on the computer, which turned into a laugh fest as the completely hilarious pictures came out. :)

Here is a sample of our little bug eyed family. :)

Cohen looks like a sad little puppy.

"Mum, I just want some milk please." :)

Today

Today ...

.. I slept in till 745.

.. I ate egg on toast with philly for breakfast.

.. I have done about six loads of washing. Sheets, quilt covers & towels included. 

.. I am listening to really loud music while cleaning the house.

.. I went crazy and got rid of a whole pile of ruined toys.

.. I sorted out our bank accounts and made sure we are on track for all upcoming bills.

.. I planned to start a house cleaning roster.

.. I realized that in 9 days time my sister, brother in law and my 2 little princesses will be on their way to the land of far far away. I guess princesses deserve to explore far far away places don't they.

.. I tried to promise myself not to cry at the thought of them leaving.

.. Broke the promise I made myself, and then told myself it is ok to cry. :)

.. I prayed that God will keep them safe, let them enjoy this wonderful oppurtunity and bring them home in due time. 

.. I want to send a big hug and kiss to all my family, who I know at the moment feel all these things too.

Love you all!

Work

Wishing everybody a fatabolistic weekend!

Hard Day ..

Today has been abit of a hard day.

Firstly I tried to sleep in but can't because the sun is up at like 530. 

Secondly I went to the gym and worked my butt off for an hour (well actually my butt is still there, if only it took an hour to get rid of, man I would be in the money!)

Thirdly I have to file a whole lot of stuff for Jasons work.

Fourth I just remembered I have Bible study tonight and I havent done prep study yet. (something I probably should have considered before coming on the computer)

Fifth I have had to look into our health insurance to see if it covers everything we need it too. (dealing with people like that can make anyone have a bad day)

Sixth I received an email from my sister telling me that it is official! They are leaving on DV the 17th March. An email which made me realise how much I am going to miss them! One that also made me think that going to combat is going to be very lonely for awhile. But also an email that made me realise this is something that they have wanted to do for a long while and that God has granted them a great blessing in this sense. I really wish them all the best in their preparations to leave and I know that they will be back. But that still doesn't make it any eaiser to say goodbye. 

And its only 3:00.

I guess we all have hard days.

"To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven;

A time to be born,

And a time to die;

A time to plant,

And a time to pluck what is planted;

A time to kill,

And a time to heal;

A time to break down,

And a time to build up;

A time to weep, 

And a time to laugh;

A time to mourn,

And a time to dance;

A time to cast stones away,

And a time to gather stones;

A time to embrace,

And a time to refarin from embracing;

A time to gain,

And a time to lose;

A time to keep,

And a time to throw away;

A time to tear,

And a time to sew;

A time to keep silence,

And a time to speak;

A time to love,

And a time to hate;

A time fo war,

And a time of peace."

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Remember when ....

Remember when ...

Twinpoles were readily avialable at your local supermarket?

Chocolate gave you energy and not kilos?

You would quite happily walk across the park and up the street to the deli without a second thought?

A three megapixel camera was labelled "INGENIOUS"

It cost 50cents to go to school on the train?

There was a cents sign on the keyboard??? (I don't know if there ever was but there should have been)

You pretty much had to squint to see the writing on the computer screen?

While you were on the internet if the phone would ring it would disconnect?

Two familys of 5 would fit in a station wagon?

Life goes by so quickly and it seems things just keep getter bigger and better and materialism is huge! People are never truly happy with what they have, its not big enough, not fast enough, not cool enough, not new enough, not up to MY STANDARDS! 

Well lets always remember that ...

One day everything that we have will be gone. None of our wordly possessions will come with us. Lets be happy with what we have and remember those who don't have the things we do.  Above all have faith that God gives what we need!
