Developing myself one captured moment at a time.

    Hey guys. Another month has come and gone and tomorrow we will be  in my Birthday month October. September was a good month but it was a busy month. I need another month to rest and recover. I know I said in my previous blog I will take more pictures but yeah sadly didn’t do it at least I might have a few. its a long post but worth the read So let’s start. On the 4 th Of September we had Casual day and the theme was Jump into Spring. It was about a week before Michelle and I heard of the theme and we jumped with ideas straight away. We made our tutu’s and glued our antlers on our head bands. I was a lady bug and Michelle a Bee. Sadly the weather didn’t play along for spring it felt more like Winter but we still enjoyed it. Of this day I took a lot of pictures. On the 5 th   was Leroy’s Friend Adams house warming in JHB. We haven’t seen them for a while and it was really nice catching up and celebrating with them on their ...

And just like that August is done and Hello September. September is going to be a busy month some how and we are already in the middle of September but let’s get into August. First was my father’s birthday. Sadly we didn’t spend the day with him as he was away for the weekend which sounded like they enjoyed way more so just happy he got to enjoy his day and he was luckily a phone call away. We at least got one rest day off this month which helped to sleep late for a bit. At the end of July we got our beautiful bridesmaids dresses. We where all so worried that they would not fit and once we tried them on it was like a glove a perfect comfortable fit. Made us more excited for the wedding which is as we speak #31 days away. Unreal if you ask me. When there was 50 days left the bridal and groom party got together took a photo and we created this count down On the 16 th we got a new baby Mia in our home So we have been wanting to get a cat for a while now, as I k...

Hey guys so I thought I would do something different with Birthdays. I want to do like a Q & A of important people in my life. If possible once a month. So seeing as though it’s my dad birthday today I thoughts let’s start with him. Ready here we go...(please note I did not change anything that is in the different colour) What is your name - Abel Albertus (Pompie) Pienaar When is your birthday – 1959/08/08 How much children do you have - 2 What are your hobbies – Sudoku – Gardening       Explain your life briefly in the past 25 years – There was ups and downs like in any married live, but the ups stands out far above the downs What do you remember about the houses you lived in as a kid? Which one did you like the best? – Was born in Waterval Boven but move when I was one year old to Ermelo staying in 65 Cloete street, move from there to 4 Little Street and final as kid move to 24A Jorrison street. I thing I will ...

Just when I was getting my posts sorted and coming up with a few great ideas things change and I was not able to post for a while. But I am back on line and ready.  So this post will be more of an update seeing as though the last time I posted was in May and we are nearly end of July??? We have moved. Again and hopefully not again any time soon. Life and God has been blessing us more than what Leroy and I could have imagined. And we are truly grateful for what we have been given here today. We didn’t really go looking for a place to move ASAP , a few months ago we looked at a few places to see and also to get away from agencies the one we had has really not been any help at all and we just wanted out and away from our neighbours. We found a place we liked but the price was a bit bad and it would leave us with not a lot of spending money left and being young we would still want to do things so we left it and said we will stay at our current ...

Dear Younger Elena (18 Years) You are now nearly 24 can you believe it? I can’t. Sometimes I need to think again of the age exactly as it just feels unreal. How life has changed. Things turned out different than what you planned and dreamed of.  You finally got to go overseas. Your first family isn’t what you think it to be what I learn there is don’t rush the process just let it take its course and choose wisely. Extend and travel more!!! Be more open and leave with no regrets and make sure to have contact all the time. Family, they come and go in your life but hold on to the ones that stay around. Enjoy the time given with them and make it count. Not all will make you happy and some will even push you out their lives or be rude but know they are family and let it go and carry on with your life. Friends, they too come and go. Make the friendships last as for some reason they move on and its done. Fight as long as you can for the ...
