hey hey everyone. i'm alive!!! haha.
so... lets see... saturday night was a crazy night. I didn't end up making it to the braai after all. the woman who was to do the overnight shift that night had her daughter go into labour and they asked me if i would be willing to do the shift for her so that she could go be with her daughter. soooooo i went back to work after just getting off 5 hours before and worked the 12hr overnight shift. it was awesome and scary a the same time. me and 15 kids! haha. it went really really well. i just got bottles ready and did the night feedings and the early morning feedings. and then at 545 i got all the kids up and started on their breakfasts. then i went home sunday morning totally exhausted. but somehow i didn't really sleep and i ended up going to the second sunday service. it was a really good service. the video system went down for the second service so i ended up at the front introducing myself. :) that was fun... lol
for the rest of the day sunday i chilled out. walked down to the video store and got an account and rented some movies. and watched them and went to bed! :) i was pretty sick actually. i'm not good with not sleeping! lol
Monday was a stellar day. slept in till like... ohhh lattteeee... and then went out with Tumi and Amy. we took a taxi, (because we had Tumi with us we were allowed to take a taxi) They are super super cheap! and it seems that very few south africans that i talk to actually take them, i didn't really find it that scary at all. :) we went to Centurian and went the mall there. just chilled out, walked around and looked in all the shops. its the coolest mall because its all open. you walk through the center of the mall and see the sky. :)
i have lots of picture and i will post them to my facebook later today when i have time.
last night i went to my first life group. it was brilliant. i was having kinda a homesick day, because i got a message that i'm an auntie again!!! rob and danielle had a little baby boy, benjamin nathaniel. and when i got the message and saw his little picture i just wanted to hold him so badly. so going to life group was so wonderful. it was very homey and comfortable and i just felt so very blessed.

hey Gwyn! Good to see your blog again! I have been back to work and busy as usual. Stay Blessed dear!
ReplyDeleteare you only allowed to take taxi's there if you are from SA?? or do you mean you had Tumi for protection?
