UPDATE: (4/26/07) Wow, doesn't seem like a month has gone by since the fire, but the rebuilding process is going well. We have been able to get into a house we will rent for now, and the kids are settling in nicely. The new place is only about 5 miles from our old house, and if you check out my pictures area you can see some of the photos from the fire.
I also want to thank everyone for their comments, and support I have received, its times like these that help you to understand who your friends are and how much support is out there. Thank you all very much.
Today (3/26/07) I just want to let everyone know how lucky I am that my Wife, my Children, and my dogs made it out of a burning house alive, and I am thankful that we had working smoke detectors that woke us up in time to get out of the house that is now rubble and ashes.
Today was March 25, 2007, which is my Son's 8th Birthday, but the only surprise we received was being awakened to the sounds of smoke alarms, and finding that the master bedroom of our home was burning. We tried using a fire extinguisher to put out the fire, but we were unable to prevent the fire from destroying our home, and EVERYTHING in it. All of our clothes, our shoes, TVs, furniture, and we lost 2 pet snakes and 3 fish aquariums.
