Zombie Games

Well, it looks like I'll be homeschooling Miss Tanzi this year. I just need to get my head around it, as I thought the homeschooling season was coming to an end and that I needed to get back into my architecture. I put her name down at Hillcrest Christian Academy, but they are chocker block for 2013. But God knows what's best for Miss Tanzi SO.... I asked her what she would like to learn about this year......

"King Arthur and his knights", she replies.
"Are you sure you want to learn about this topic?" I question her. 
"Well, I have two brothers who love to play war,die, zombie games so I think I will be just fine."

King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table it will be!

I'm already getting excited as I type.
 

This is going to be a special year with my girlie.

New improved cast of Friends ....?

Mr Gee and I are blessed to have such good friends. Lets keep the good times rolling..... No pun intended at all! *evil laugh*

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.
I bought a Book on Revit and began my first design this morning..... I actually enjoyed it.

Fabulous Fanta

He is definitely our most amusing pet ever!

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.

Christmas Gremlin.

Ho ho ho ..... it's no longer a mystery why our Christmas Tree is history.....
Thank you Fanta!

Kate the surfer

Just after this pic was taken Kate launched herself into the pool and scraped Miss Tanzi's back.

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.

Wordless Wednesday ....

WizzKid's three week adventure up Mount Everest to Base Camp.
