STARTING OVER

To New Beginning as they say.. Well first of all we got news that our offices are moving to a more sophisticated location will I say as those of you that know, Newport has some NO GO zones, we were shocked at first, well the staff that has been at our office for more than 10 years, a lot of us weren't very happy about the idea, especially after the viewing of our new offices.  Yes I have to agree, it is smaller, our seating arrangements aren't ideal and there are certain things that we would like but it is not possible due to health and safety, we will not have such a nice view etc.  But I guess it all comes with pros and cons. But in the end we will have to fit it on and see what happens, we might just learn to love it.  We are moving in soon (I love change).

With that my husband and I have been looking out for a new place to stay as well, closer to work for me.  So it just worked out in our favor that we got a place not too far from our new offices, walking distance might I add (my inner self is smiling) - so I'll be getting the well needed exercise each day.  Our new place is lovely, we can walk from room to room and it isn't all cramped up, we have a lovely conservatory, which I'm obviously in love with.

My husband has also received a permanent job offer, which he accepted.  He works hard and only comes home late, but I totally adore him for it as he wants to make a better living for us.  We are currently working towards going to SA in Feb (can't wait). 

Life hasn't been very easy this past year, lots of family struggles and the fact that we are so alone this side made it even worse.  But I can only thank God for all the change in our lives and all the good that is coming to us...

WHAT A JOURNEY...

Time stops for no one..

What a move it was... Living with family - aint no fun no matter who they are, moved out got our own little space, got permanently employed, got a car (not in that particular order).. fun fun fun... Who ever has the idea to move to the UK or anywhere else for that matter, think twice before you give everything up and make a drastic move, especially if you have never even left SA before.  I wouldn't change anything that is for sure and I know Rome wasn't built in just one day, but we are only now beginning to see a little bit of light at the end of a very long dark tunnel.

I must say Wales is beautiful, I haven't seen much of the UK as yet.. planning to see much much more..

Park in Cwmbran

We lived just across this park when we first moved to Wales, many walks we have walked haha.. People go and jog and take their dogs for a walk their so peaceful as well.

Duck pond in Cwmbran

This is just one of the photos we took at the Duck pond (that is what I call it) in Cwmbran.  What a beautiful place as well, people also go and jog there, takes their kids for a outing and much more.  It is so nice to see that people still appreciate nature and take their kids out, doing something other than watching TV and playing Xbox games.

To New Beginnings

I sit here today and I am so excited, so scared and so consume of happiness it is not even true.  Who would of thought that in just a few weeks time we will be in the UK, never in my mind have I ever thought of the fact that I would ever leave SA, for another country.  This beautiful amazing country that I was born in.  Since I met my husband he was talking of going back to England and I wasn't for it, I was so scared at that time, leaving everything I had behind.

God works in mysterious ways.. as today I am ready for it all, I am doing something that I have never done before and that is taking a leap of faith.  I am a person who always plans something, I never make a decision without thinking of it a million times over.  This time I'm putting it all in God's hands, He will guide us and if this is not his will, we will not go, but I feel it with my whole being that God want to send us to the UK for some reason.  Why?  Well we wanted to go to Australia first, but every angel we tried we didn't succeed, I asked God for His help and His guidance and so he opened so many doors for us to go the UK, I can't believe how fast things are moving now. 

For me it is so scary to think I'm going to start a brand new life in the UK, at least we have family, that helps a lot. 

Watch out UK here I come...
