We've had a little bit of a lucky streak lately. We finally closed on our flip house last week (after a grueling 45 days of jumping through hoops for the buyer's lender)! In addition, it looks like I have found a job! More details on that will follow soon, I'm still working out the details with the hiring director. I'll do a blog post about it when everything is finalized.
But what tops everything off, I came home the other day to find this...
We've had quite a bit of rain lately but I'm still not exactly sure how this happened. A HUGE limb from the Oak tree in our front yard broke off. This menacing branch has been looming over our house for years and it finally fell. Some of you might consider this UNLUCKY and at first, I did as well but it didn't even touch our house which is A MIRACLE. No damage was done to our roof or anything! My flower beds and shrubs definitely took a hit but those are easy to replace! Here are some more pictures of this tiny little branch that fell in our front yard!
This is what you see when you open our front door!
John's reaction when he came home from work that day!
Our good friend Dean is kindly helping us cut this branch up and get it cleared out today. From the size of that thing, we are so grateful that we still have a house! So the moral of this blog post is... COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. We're definitely counting ours right now!
