African Hair gone!


Well, unfortunately, the hair is gone. It was a great experience that I will remember. The afro I had when it was all out was worth the work mom, Susan and I put into taking it out though!

Hats!


Some are ghetto, some are for cowgirls...and others are for...austrian men??

I am no longer African

Another Adventure!


A few days after I got back from Joburg, it was time for Sheil and I to head to Kelowna BC for our good friend Mandi's wedding. We had a layover in Edmonton where we saw CHristiane and Haven...unfortunately Lilee was working. The time we got to spend with Mandi was so great. It was such a happy time to celebrate her and Travis getting married. This was a very different time than in South Africa. There were very sad times there, but this time in BC was so so happy and full of so many different blessings and encouragements. As I sit here and listen to Joburg radio on my computer, I remember both trips and am so thankful for both and for how GOd used them both in so many different ways as an encouragement to me! Adventure #3....I started Nursing today!! My classes are microbiology, anatomy, physiolgy and foundations of nursing.....I AM SO EXCITED!!

Just takin a break from decorating!

Ready for the Stagette party!

We had a norah jones fondue night after the reception. It was a relaxing night for us, but Mandi was just too excited!

It's the Wedding Day!!!


This is when we sang and played during the signing of the registry. We played Son of GOd by Starfield. A huge blessing to be able to be a part of her wedding.
