Thursday night our house caught fire. Luckily someone driving by stopped and called 911 and came and banged on the door to let us know. The wife, myself and our daughter got out fine. We got the dogs out, and the reptiles are in a building out in the backyard so they were fine as well. I got out there with a hose and put the fire out on the outside but it had gotten into the attic as well. The firefighter did tell me that putting out the side of the house slowed the fire considerably though, and that we probably would have lost half to all of the house if not for that. That being said there is still some extensive damage and they're saying it could take 2 or 3 months before we can go back to living in the house. They're putting us up in a hotel until then. We just ask for everyones thoughts and prayers on speedy repairs of the house as my wife is due with our son in 6 weeks and ideally we would love to bring him home to his nursery and not a hotel but it looks unlikely. They said they'd try and put a rush on everything but it's still not very likely. If it's not one thing it's another I guess. We had just gotten the house finally how we wanted it too. All of the remodeling that was planned for this spring/summer was done. Oh well, just thought I'd let you all know. Hope everyone else is doing alright.
