Sorry for only updating now, have had a busy few days. As I am updating this I am trying to keep awake. I am doing this update in English for my sister in law, who doesn't understand Afrikaans (she is American). Maybe all my posts will be in English from now on, I'll have to see.
It seems that all the important stuff for the house has been sorted and the furniture will be delivered tomorrow morning. If it doesn't happen, we will be sleeping on the floor tomorrow night as we are booking out of the hotel tomorrow morning.
I wish everyone can see the area we will be living in, it is great. Kids playing and riding bike in the streets, everyone is always so friendly. It's really great and I can't wait to move in and get to know the neighbors and the area.
I took some photo's (maybe a lot) of the house which I will be putting in this post. It looks like I figured out how to do that, so we'll see if it works or not.
I don't know when next I'll be able to update the blog. We don't have internet at the house yet and I'm not sure when that will be sorted, but as soon as it is I will let you know and the updates will start again.

Sorry if this update is a bit short, we are really tired and have another long day ahead of us tomorrow. We want to sort out Zander's school tomorrow before the furniture is delivered, so it is going to be another early start for us. I hope you enjoy this update and the photo's and will try to update again as soon as possible.
Hope all is well with everyone, we miss you all and love you lots.
Thanks Lientjie!!! I love the house pictures, y'all (a word you will learn quickly) found a great house! We'll have to come try out the guest room this summer :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure, just let us know. It still needs a bed.
DeleteI just absolutely love love love the house. Im so jealous. It realy looks like in the movies. I am so excited for you. I am so to everyone in the office, showing of my American family and how you guys live. I just cant get over that house. Please take a lots of pics with the furniture.
ReplyDeleteThe kids must be so excited. Both getting their own rooms. I would love the do the decorating. Aaaah Lientjie, jy gaan dit so geniet om huis op te sit. Enjoy it! En daai gaste kamer is reg vir ons as ons kom kuier.
We miss you all so much. I am constantly on the internet whatching when you might be on Facebook, or maybe updated the blog. How will we get hold of you guys in the mean while, till you have internet.
Love you so much, and cant wait for the next update. Hugs and kisses to everyone. Tell the kids I miss them, and I will miss Zander this afternoon at school when I pick up Mea. I'll miss his kiss..... xxxxxxxxx
Zander se nou die dag as sy maatjies kom kuier gaan hulle net se hoe awesome ons huis is. Dit was die aand na die meubels afgelaai is. Hy is baie opgewonde, en hulle is altwee baie impressed met hulle kamers en badkamer. As jy nog nie gesien het nie, ons het nou internet, so ons kan nou weer gesels.
DeleteLief vir julle ook. Lekker slaap. Chat more?
