Oh my.....

Well I haven't written anything for a few days now, not because I don't have anything to write about but because there was so much going on the last couple days that I just haven't had the time... But an update is coming soon... Very soon!!

Show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are..

I was so inspired by so many blogs that I have read this evening, starting of course with the post form Hilarie about her best friend.

I have been very fortunate in my life to have been blessed with two best friends. Bradley (who I chatted about on Sunday) and Nicky. Two very different souls but two people I am so blessed to have.

I was very heart broken when Nicky got the job of a lifetime just after I got married in 2006. She starting working for Emirates and was going to be based in Dubai.

She loves living there and the things she has done since she been there has been so exciting. I always tell her that I live vicarously through her life and travels. ( I hate flying and therefore put off any real plans to visit her even though she always asks).

She and I talk as often as we can but sometimes I wish that she was right there so that instead having to cry and tell her that I love her and miss and that whatever we were both going through, we would be okay, we could just reach out and touch each other.

She is fiesty and stubborn and has an amazing voice. She wears her heart on her sleeve and gives 100% in all the relationships that she has. She is outgoing and funny. A nice balance to my stay at home and shy self...

She is the person I want to have around when I am 80, sitting on the front porch laughing and reminiscing about how we got so lucky to still be friends after all these years....

She's one of my person's...

Phoebe..

The Age of 2..

Today is our niece's birthday Phoebe.. She turns 2 today....

I cannot help but smile when I think of her. She is a gorgeous child. So full of energy and so smart...

This evening we went to visit her and give her gift since we are not going to be at her birthday party on Saturday. I thought that this year we wouldn't buy her clothes but rather something more educational. So I settled for a mini blackboard (perfect for her age), crayons and chalk and visual aids...

Never the less, we were so happy when she took to our gift and played with it for most of the evening...

Secondly, the sadder moment
The anniversary of the death of my brother... He died two weeks after Riaan and I got married.. :-(

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns BUT faith is a such a funny thing....

Being Bradley....

Today is my God-brother Bradley's birthday. He is 31 today..Now I started this blog so that I could talk about how Precious all the people in my life are... Bradley, or "My Precious Pooh Bear" as I like to call him, is one of those people.

He is amazing really and I'm not exaggerating. He is an enigma and I tell him that all the time. So private too that it is frustrating but that is also what makes him Bradley...

Some background information on my relationship with Bradley:-

We met when we were 5yrs old, became close friends not so long after that, I became as close to his family as I did to him and a while after that I became their god-child. My god-father Lazie is the pastor of our church, my god-mother Gloria is an amazing women whom I aspire to be like one day. A lady through and through. Lizette is my godsister and since I am the only girl in my family, she is the closest I will ever have to a sister and that makes me smile. Jade is Lizette's daughter, she is also entering the teenage years and my word when it comes around, it comes around hard and fast.:-). She is gorgeous though and that stresses her uncle Bradley out big time. Gran Lizzy is my godmother's mom and also such a part of my heart.

Ever wonder if events are predestined. No? I didn't think so either but looking back now, I know that God had planned for this family and I to be apart of each other's lives, long before I even knew it.

Back to Bradley... He's great. I mean he's smart.He's not a conventionally good looking guy but he is so fine and he has that something that makes him so beautiful. He's funny and he such wit about him. He's a big ol' scaredy cat. Just mention the word “heights” and suddenly he comes up with just about every excuse under the sun to not go there and do that. It's pretty amusing. He's honest. Make no mistake about it, just because you wanna hear something doesn't mean he is going to say it. He says what you need to hear. You can always count on getting the truth from him even if the truth hurts. We fight a lot.. Boy do we ever! He can be so frustrating at times. But he's a really, really good friend. He is loyal to a fault.

I'm a dreamer and a believer of fairy tales so it's good to have somebody like that in my life. God, if we ever found ourselves not in each other lives; I don't know what I would do. I mean he's my pooh bear, you know?

Well.... he's more than that ...he's everything....(or my "other man" as Riaan would put it)

So yeah...Happy Birthday my Precious Pooh Bear... I love you and wish you all of life's blessings because you deserve it.
