I really should be working on my assignment for tomorrow, but once the writing bug bites you, even for a second, and you have time?  You better do something about it!

I had a look at my previous blog entry and I'm happy to say that things have happened since I've last posted!  What a fantastic, blessed year it's been so far.  I feel lucky and blessed.  And most of all I feel rediculously happy.  :)  So here's what's been happening:

  • I've started my course at Maties, and so far it's going very well.  It's a great feeling to be busy with something you're good at, and it's a wonderful feeling to be using my brain again  :)  Classes are great, assignments are cool, I'm even surviving the tests.  I'm keeping myself motivated by staying on top of my work and preparing really well.  It's all good so far  :)
  • We got married on 13 March 2010!  It was the most beautiful, most memorable day of my life so far.  Everything was pretty much perfect!  We had the best time, and so did all our friends and family.  What a fantastic party!
  • Our honeymoon in Mauritius was out of this world.  That place is really and truly paradise... It's so beautiful, the weather is so amazing, the sealife is breathtaking.  We ate, we drank, we swam, we swam with dolphins!, we spent hours and hours in the sun and in the sea, hired a car and explored the island, we made new friends, drank hundreds of coctails and overall had the best time ever.
  • I've settled into our house!  What a great house.  I love it here.  We're busy decorating and I find myself 'nesting' a bit more every day.  We have big plans for the garden too. 
  • My 30th birhday is around the corner and I'm planning a 1980's party  :)  Think legwarmers, tights, a disco ball, blue eyeshadow and great music!
  • I've started doing a bit of freelance work, and I've finished my first medium project right before our wedding.  Looking forward to finishing up my logo and marketing myself so that more work can come in :)
  • I'm making more time to read, which I really enjoy.  I read a lot on our honeymoon, and made a promise to myself that I'll read more often.  I find it relaxing, I find it intruiging, it's a way of having special 'me-time' while being in the same room as someone else!
This list is growing by the day and I'll add to it as things happen.

I leave you with a few pictures of the wedding.  Hope to have more this week!

Winter on the coast.

I'm back and a lot has happened.  I'm now a lecturer and I teach people things.  It's unbelievably rewarding to go to 'work' and to know the possibility is there that you're making a difference in someone's life.   It has also been hot .  Way too hot ... Almost unbearably hot.  And I've decided that I want to live on the coast in an area where it's mostly autumn/winter.    {I want cool, misty, wet days somewhere where it's green and quiet and beautiful.} Somewhere where it looks something like this:  A girl can dream, right?

We are lucky enough to live walking distance from the Helderberg Nature Reserve .   It is such a beautiful place. Swan & I had a picnic there two Sundays ago.   I made a chicken salad, we popped a bottle of bubbly and fell asleep whilst reading in the sun. Bliss .

I love what I do.

image credig: weheartit I want to write about how much I love what I do.  Let me start at the beginning. I took a big risk at the beginning of 2010.   After much thought and deliberation I quit my job ( which I really didn't like - it was the last of a string of not-so-great jobs I've taken which were leading nowhere ) and slid back into the world of being a full-time student.   Yes, a full-time student.   How great is that? And this at 30! I still feel very lucky to have been able to make this decision.  My career was going nowhere and I felt it was time ( at last ) to further develop the skills and talents I was given. It was time to do what I actually want to, to do what I was good at. So I enrolled for the Postgraduate Diploma in Translation course at Stellenbosch University. I passed the entry exams and before I knew it I was sitting in a class filled with like-minded people with a passion for words. It was nerve-wrecking at first and I suddenly felt unsure of my
