New Beginnings
After school I did a 4 year diploma in Architectural Design. It wasn't my first choice, I had wanted to do Primary Ed, but at that time(1987) the government cut their teaching subsidies so unfortunately I was not able to study teaching. I am grateful to God that I have had the privilege of homeschooling my kids for the last 7 years, but I am feeling that this season in my life is coming to an end. MrGee has been encouraging me for a while to get back into my architecture but I have been rather reluctant as the industry has changed so much in the last 15 years with the progression from paper to computer.

Happy New Year
What a stunning send off to a rather yucky year and a great welcome to 2013, which I believe is going to be a much happier year!
For the first time ever the whole family managed to stay up and see the new year in. We all sipped champagne as we watched a neighbour set off some stunning fireworks.
This morning MrGee and I watched movies in bed till 11:30.... so relaxing.
I am believing that 2013 will be a year of restoration and reconciliation.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Overall 2012 has been a horrid one!
But let's start with THE GOOD because there was one and it was a biggie!
MrGee's kidney transplant. On the 12th May he was rolled into theatre and fitted with a fully functioning kidney. 7 months down the line and he is doing wonderfully! God was GOOD!
Oh yes.... I lost some weight. That's always good unless you're an anorexic.
WizzKid climbed Mount EvErest to Base Camp!
CoolDude started at Waterfall College in Grade 8.
THE BAD.....for MrGee and I it has been the hardest year regarding our relationship. I don't want to go into it much, but I will tell you that he chose to separate from me for 5 weeks in January. I was devastated and begged him to go to counseling. Which he did and I'm thankful for that.
THE UGLY ..... MrGee and my relationship has gotten worse since the Transplant. Even with counseling and guidance from the church, we have battled and still are. I'm not sure what next year holds, but I will be seeking employment and pushing into God like never before!
! WISHING YOU ALL A FANTABULOUS 2013 !

Next best thing.
Miss Tanzi has been nagging me for a sister! Being in my mid forties I have told her that 'it ain't gonna happen cupcake.'
Her older brothers (as loving and patient as they can manage!) just don't get her at the moment. They're not keen to judge her clothes designing or even throw a flippin' frisbee with her!!
SO.... Miss Tanzi has been uber excited about seeing more of her cousin....Tori. And I think Tori is happy to spend a few nights with us as her parents go through a divorce. It's a win win situation.

Manager Manager
Since Miss Tanzi was very young, she has loved to make what I call 'nests' all around the house. Initially she would create a little snuggle area for her babies and herself. Sometimes she would make a little house out of chairs and blankets and play for hours in her little 'nest'.
Now she assembles an office and plays 'Manager Manager'. I love her enthusiasm for life and her ability to create her own fun!

Musa!
This little boy is very special to us all. He was named after MrGee because of the help we gave his parents in the run up to his birth. His dad,Paul,is our handyman/ gardener and has been in our employment for about 6 years. Paul is very sweet... The kids joke that he sees me as his mother as he wishes me a Happy Mothers Day every year.;) When MrGee and I had an issue and I went to stay at my moms for a couple of days Paul sent me a message begging me to come home because he was missing me. Sweet hey?
Anyway, the bottom line is that if I had not helped Paul and his wife by getting them admitted to hospital for an induction they would have lost Musa. Because they were so grateful for our help, they named this precious boy.... Musa Boyd Makwakwa.
