We Got A Place

Hey All hope you all are in good health...
Our Pastor and his wife just bought a house and recommended us to their landlord we went and met him at the real estate on Monday just gone and applied for the house, On Tuesday we got approved for the house and we can move in on the 10th August...
We are both so happy to finally be back in our own place.... We can take our dog with us which is great not many places allow pets these days... It is a 3 bedroom house remote control garage with internal access to the house, large lounge, kitchen, dinning, fully fenced backyard, built in brick bbq, large pond, one street away from church,
We sign the lease on the 8th August
So We give a huge thanks to the Lord for his provision

Baby Savings

Hey there... Today we went to Target they are having their toy sale where you can lay by till Christmas.... They had some baby things in the catalogue and just happened to have the three wheeler pram i wanted on sale and the bassinet to make it a reversible pram for a newborn... The pram is normally $299 and was on sale for $229 and the bassinet was $109 on sale for $79

When we got there, there was one pram left and one bassinet left and on the side of the box it said $69.89 (which was cheaper then the catalogue) so we took them both up to lay by and i thanked the Lord as they were the last ones in the store... We get up to lay by and the bassinet scanned for $6.86 and i asked the lady if i was correct and she said yes its $6.86 and i told her i would buy it today can i pay for it here and she said yes.. So we have our $6.86 bassinet here and our $229 pram on lay by till Christmas eve the pram and bassinet together would cost $408 on sale it should have cost $308 and we got it for $234.86 which we are really happy for and give thanks to the Lord the bassinet can double for in the house as well as on the pram

take care and may the Lord Bless your lives too,

Love Rach

Blood test results

Hey all, Got my blood test results back today, after the bleed on Saturday the doctor wanted a follow up blood test... the levels have jumped from 13,765 to 62,997 which the doctor is happy about... still on bed rest and am to take it really easy for the next two weeks to make sure it has all settled down...
Everyone except Josh and Myself has been down with a flu/cold and is on antibiotics... Please pray that we don't get it as Josh is our only income and is on casual at the moment and with being pregnant it isn't a good thing for me either
Take care you are all in our prayers..
Love Rachel
