hey girls just letting yous no i wont be on for a while. not sure if its on the news over there but we have massive bushfires here. the death toll is 108 so far and the fires are still raging out of control. one of the largest ones is currently on the edge of a town 15kms (about 9 miles) from here and heading this way so we are going to beat the rush and evacuate now so we can get what we want and get out before it becomes to dangerous. Not sure when ill be on next i guess it depends if my home survives. hopefully it will. when i get back i hope to see lots of BFPs posted! lol depending on the outcome of the next few days we might stop TTC for a while... ill try to keep you girls updated!! hopefully ill be back in a day or to! DP is sleeping he was on look out last night we are all packed and ready to go. hopefully talk to y'all soon

I am just lurking because I do not post here that often (forgive me girls), but I am definitely praying for you and your family's safety and I hope the authorities get the fires under control soon.

thanks girls we are home again the wind changed direction which saved our town but many others weren't so lucky it was horrible!! they finally contained our fire today but there are still 11 or 12 more burning in the state. thanks for your prayers they must have worked. the sun and moon are bright red!! and the smoke is so thick all over the state we went north near sydney for a few days and didn't come back until today when we heard on the news it was safe. 184 people have been found dead in there homes and cars so far and the fires are not out in most places they are predicting 300 deaths which is a horrible number. we have our house and belonging which is the main thing we dont have to stop TTC!! i hope it happens for us all this cycle!
