We're Celebrating!!!

We went to Waihi this morning to have a look at the house. And it's PERFECT!!!! It's one block to the beach, one block to the shop and RIGHT NEXT TO THE PRIMARY SCHOOL!! It's not 3 bedrooms ... but 5!!! 4 bedrooms in the house and a sleepout!! It has a dishwasher, huge lounge, huge kitchen, huge fenced backyard with fruit trees! and a fireplace!!! I honestly couldn't ask for more!!!

I'm ecstactic!!!! It has all happened so fast but honestly everything has fitted into place so well. I truelly believe that when things are meant to be everything happens for a reason and works out just right. This house only came up for rent on Monday morning a few hours before I rang the agent. We found out today that the last sale on the dairy only fell through on Friday afternoon ... and by Monday morning we had it!! And by today we have an awesome house too!! Oh and the other thing ... it's only $220 a week rent! Aucklanders pay around $385 a week for a 3 bedroom place (sometimes more depending on the area). Even the 2 bedroom batch next door to our new house is paying $235 p/w, so I feel so blessed to have a huge 2 storey house for just $220!!

On a sad but wise note ... we have pulled out of our trip to Fiji. I know, I was looking forward to it but we both feel it is such a lot of money to waste on such a short time. If we went to Fiji we would have $7000 in the bank when we came home but in cancelling we will have $22,000!!! Which we can use on expanding the dairy when the lease comes up for the empty shop next door next March.

We also got a phone call from Bill's brother who looks after his mum's trust. She has a lot of money invested from a house sale a while back and has decided to pay out to each of the 5 brothers $1000 each (which is the interest she has earnt) I was blown away!!! We are going to spend that along with $1000 of our money on new clothes for each of us. A nice new outfit for us all.

Wow I just feel so blessed today!!! We are going out to dinner tonight to celebrate!! Life feels fantastic!!!

Catcha!
