Two days ago Gabe & I celebrated (or should have) our 4th year anniversary since we got together!
Yay for us!

Everyone is updating, I feel like i have to now, I feel obligated, gosh, you meanies! ahahah kidding, sorry 2 in the morning, only time i can get a connection, so you understand why I always sound like Im high or crazy, or whatever else it is you think i sound like, anyway I guess I should write something interesting.Yes well as you know I've been working allot, and this is the kind of music I have to listen to every day, NOT A JOKE, but after watching this music video of it, its not so bad anymore, I mean what could be more funny then a man with a mustache? (no offense dan...ahahahahahaahahhahahahah Im just kidding.) I mean what could be more funny then this man's mustache?



now this one isn't half back, doesn't drive me as crazy, besides its dolly parton. who could hate her? yeah ok don't answer that, but the bad thing is this song only comes on like once a day, but the other one, come on like 5 or 6 times, NOT A JOKE



now this song reminds me off the good ol days! ahahahahaha:



ok now to leave you with a picture of my new friend:




shes always happy, even when Im tired and grumpy!:



Happy a happy night

"...I don't ever wanna see you sad, be happy."

HI!!!
thot it was about time so show my granny face,
its been a while, but I have lots of excuses, and I could write them all down...buttt...don't think you wanna hear any excuses...besides I don't think anyone missed me!! :D the other sisters have been doing a great job with the updating!! :D wooohooo!!

anyyhooo I've been quite busy these days...always tired, and even grumpy!
that ain't good right??? yeah....well anyways just wanted to tell everyone that its good to smile and be happy!! or you end up looking like a granny!! heeheee!! caio!

To know is to be
To be is to see
To see is to understand
To hold in your hand
The things which are not
Which are often sought
By eyes unseen
In a faraway dream
Lost but found
In it's entirety surrounds

But reality strikes
Precise as a knife
Cutting the veil
Of things known too well
Awoken but not shaken
Disappointed but not taken
Life in all it's colors
Shades and all others
Black and white it will not be
Only brilliance I shall see

Because love is blind
To things which are
It's hard to find
Though it's never far
It hits you out of the blue
As if you already knew
That it could be gone
And fate has won

But who's the judge?
And who decides?
Well, who cares
And besides
I'll love and love again
I'll strive with all my heart
Till the very end
From the very start
To endure Love's many faces
In your life
You must make spaces
To overcome your fears
And smile through your tears

Pity
Being misunderstood
Talked to like I'm stupid

People who are self righteousness (including oneself)
The feeling of people looking down on me (for whatever reason)
Peoples expectations of you
Ones own expectations
Trying and falling short (of both)

The fact that I've become quite antisocial
The fact that I'm a negative thinker (and can't help myself)
I'm a pessimist

That I stress myself out
That I let myself get stressed(and probably looking/feeling something like the pix below)

That I care about the opinions of others
Being resentful of...quite a bit recently...
Monthlies
Being grumpy

Jealousy and what it does to people

Being in a full house yet, feeling alone

Smiling, talking, anything, just because you think it's polite or the right thing to do.
Gossip and what it does to friendships

Pride...the root of all evil!

So, I thot I'd just let you know a little more about me. I LOVE these things that I'm about to post and would love to eat them probably every day if I could...coffee being the exception of have to/I do. So here we go...not really in the order of importance.



I LOVE everything about coffee...the aroma, the taste...umm...you can't go wrong...(theoretically speaking)...LOOK AT THAT...can you smell it!? :)


You will probably never know just how much I love fries...I think Gene only finally came to realize and found it ridiculously funny. (If the restaurant has fries on the menu, it's good enough for me :p)

Yeah, here is my other junk food that I am in love with. Go ahead you can tell me anything about these and I'll probably still love them and eat them. Just junk, full of chemicals and MSG etc... But I really couldn't care less! They taste great! (yes, I'm a complete junky)

Tee hee hee...I love potato chips...ok, the fettish with fries and potato chips is probably my moms fault for only being able to eat potatoes while I was in her tum. But these horrible yummies I could eat any snack time. :) a few of my favorites are sour cream and onion, sweet Mowii onion (the ones you get at costco) but at the same time any flavor besides plain and vinegar salt will do. :p

And then totally randomly off...I go to the other extreeme of fresh fruits which I love and could eat all day long any day. Besides those bananna slices in there...(I don't like bannanna in the slightest) Here are a few pix that If I saw and could partake of...I would be in heaven.


(it's so hard to find a pic with no bannanna's in it)

So very random I know...complete junky plus health freak...Oh well what can I say. These were just the first few things that poped into my head...I'm sure there are many more. :p Just posting these shows how much of a cook I am NOT!
Oh well! PTL for me! (that was look on the bright side praise time)

Gotta love my boys!


Special moments




Lorenzo & Gabe both got soaked with those waves










Pics taken on an outing we had with our little family, Lorenzo was so excited to see the boats & waves that he ran, walked & rode his YBike most of the way there, a good hour walk one way.
When I asked him what we should to do since we had walked a good ways already & he had been running for a steady 15 min he answered in a determined voice "go see the boaths"! So off we went to the harbor & spent too long hesitating to walk the pier (or whatever you call it) so by the time we did step out of the safety zone we had to run for dear life & Lorenzo & Gabe got quite soaked, Gabe ducked behind the sea breakers for shelter to protect Lorenzo until the worst passed. Then we RAN!
Inspite, we had fun & enjoyed our time out together!

You see this photo of the man in florescent pink crocks?

Well Mercy posted it quite a while ago and when I saw it, I was quite amused.
I didn't think much about it till the other day when guess what!?
I actually saw him!
I was on my way to the combini and was looking down and thought
"wow those are really bright crocks!"
and looked up and recognized him from Mercy's blog
(I knew it was him right away cuz' he was wearing the same clothes )
and really tried my darnedest not to laugh least it be impolite....
not to mention quite strange to just burst out laughing.
I think I did a pretty good job walking past him, while just smiling and not laughing,
my sunglasses also played a big role then and there.
Anyway that really made my day and made me really happy.
Enough to text Merch...even post about it. Heh.
What!? It was funny OK!

p.s (The guy is really old)

Here we are!!!!!!



back from work, I look really happy I don't know why, it was a long day today, we are waiting for the stinky boys to get out of the showers so we can clean up and sleep, tomorrow is work again, we are both in from 11ish, long day, I will be heading home to my apartment which i haven't seen in like 2 days, lol, probably stinks! ahahahah! You must come and visit me sometime ok? anyway mari refused to write anything because shes being all grumpy these days, but the other day on free day we went out shopping and played darts and billiards, and had coffee at starbucks and did other fun stuff! anyway all is good! I thought it was time for me to post again so here I am! and now i am leaving, good night, sweet dreams!

walking to the car from the beach...
Sophie, Cris, me, and Marie

I'm not very faithful to post on here but since my sisters have started up again I must too...:D

September is here and summer is slowly coming to an end. It's still nice during the day but in the evenings it cools down quite a bit.

Last week we went to a water park and all day we went up and down the slides. (We were all so sore the next few days) The highest and most "dangerous" slide was called "Kamikaze." They took a video of Sophie and me going down and I will try to post it sometime soon.

Tonight Lorenzo asked me to pick a star out of the sky for him.....and so we tried.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY miss lot's of things...and I just let myself think about it today. I never thought I'd see the day, but I am officially EMO...at least I feel that way, you can ask Gabe to confirm that. (pst...I even hug him from time to time)

Gordons Bay


Lorenzo & Rascal (rascal is the dog)




Strand Beach, we stayed just across the road from here for a month


The Waterfront, Captetown


Hey there! Finally giving a shout from South Africa
It's been over 2 months now & we finally moved into our new house & got an internet connection!
Its a beautiful house, little pool, palm trees, lots of wind, near the beach, and this winter has been surprisingly nice & sunny!
We are living in Gordons Bay now, so far its been nice being here, lots of work to do with setting up but change is always good esp when it takes you out of your comfort zone & teaches you to stretch your faith & hold on through the tough times!
I miss all my family so much!
A big CONGRATULATIONS to Lily & Gene! The happy news makes me happy!
I love you guys!
Ciao for now.

Everyone that is away have been so faithful with their blogs! Meg with her happenings in Singapore and Mercy with hers; plus the FDTP one now. They have been keeping everyone so updated that I felt the need to post something to keep them up to date with "our happenings." So here goes....
Today the kids made shortbread cookies for our A.E party tomorrow...all different flavors...all different decorations too. It was fun, but my favorite one was the Alien faced one. Aren't they all pretty and cute!?
