I apologize that it's been such a long time since I've sat down to plot down a little about our lives...I'm so far behind and can't keep up!
But I'm just going to have to skip to the present instead of doing all the catching up now, because we just had the best vacation since we've been married and would love to share some of the pictures. :)
We just got back from nearly a whole month's trip to South Africa! My family moved here to Tyler 10yrs ago from South Africa and every year I imagined what it would be like to go back for a visit to see all of my family and friends. I never imagined that it would be 10 whole years before that dream will finally become a reality. Family was part of my everyday life...cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, all of them! The majority of us all lived within a small radius from each other, and were all part of each others' lives. I've missed that and them more than I can ever explain to anybody.
And now finally, I got to see all of them again, and not only that, I also got to take my husband with me for them to meet.
We had a great time, it was filled with family! Out of our 3 1/2 week trip Rob and I were alone 4 days, and I really wish we could've spent even more time with the family!
We got there around 7pm on new years eve. My family (my parents, my bro and his wife from Houston, and my other bro and his fiancee who still lives in South Africa) celebrated new years with great family friends.

Funny pic. I laugh everytime I look at this...look at my dad at the bottom left, haha!

Here we are with my best friend, Danielle, and I finally got to meet her boyfriend of 4 years.

Nikki and Stephaan with Wentzel and Ash. Stephaan and Nikki came to get us at the airport, it was my first time to finally meet Nikki and to see Stephaan in 2 years. So happy we were all together again!

Some pics of what it looked like on their game farm. It was dark when we got there, so we woke up to this beautiful scenery!

That next day we kayaked, relaxed on the river, cliff jumped and went on a game drive. What a first day!! :)
