Happy New Year

It's so hard to believe that 2010 has come & gone. It's been a wonderful year, as with every other year it's had it's ups & downs and we've seen God's hand in our lives throughout the year. We've been fortunate enough to see the old year out and the new one in, here in the place where we call home, South Africa, surrounded by friends and family. We don't know when we'll ever get this chance again, so we are just enjoying every moment.

The weather has been miserable, it's been so excruciatingly hot and then it storms in the evenings. And New Years Eve was no exception. It stormed, like REALLY stormed on New Years Eve so we were quite anxious that we might not have had the chance to see the New Year in style, as we wanted. So many people wanted to have a quite night in, which is what can be expected, I suppose, with people in our lives, as many have small families and didn't want to be bombarded with crowds and drunkeness, I guess. But my dear cousin, Rafiek and his gorgeous wife and one of my closest friends, Angelique invited us over to their place to have a small get-together with friends. So we spent our New Years with them which was awesome. We got to catch up with friends and family that we wouldn't have had the chance to were it not for Rafiek & Angie. My other cousin, Georgia and her husband were there and our friends Candice & her husband, and Angie's brother Darryl, my darling, were there as well so it was a lovely intimate night.

I was the only non-drinker that night, which made for a whole load of fun, considerig everyone was nice & tipsy and enjoying themselves. So it made for great entertainment and an interesting night for everyone!

I took quite a bit of pics but have sworn not to put them up, and as I do fear for my life (LOL) I don't think I will take the chance. But here's a few of the evening that aren't oo bad...

We really had a wonderful night with all of them.

After we eft Rafiek & Angie's we just went back to Orangewood (Cam's neighbourhood) and hung out with all our friends there. It turned out to be a great night and I know that 2011 is going to be a great year!

Happy New Year Everyone. I pray all God's blessings over your life and that all that you desire will come to pass in this year!
