Well, can you believe a whole 15 yrs has passed since matric - & we’re gunning for our 20 yr reunion soon. Geez, we’re getting on! I’m so sorry to have missed the dedicated few of you at the 15 yr get together on 2nd June. Was thinking of you all & I’m sure I’ll get to hear the juicy details from those that were there. (And that won’t be the edited version either thank you very much!)
In brief, after school I studied Soc Sci at PMB Varsity (more social than science!) & travelled on & off for a few yrs – to Aussie, New Zealand, Japan, UK. Had a ball to say the least! Felt the urge to settle back at home & have been in Swazi for a good 9 yrs now - or there abouts. I got together with my hubby (Kim) in Jan 2001, got married in April 2005 & we had our first child, Tristan on 28.10.06. We are both thriving off the new responsibility of parenthood & adore our little precious so much. We are besotted by him! Needless to say, I’m still completely, totally & utterly head over heels in love with my gorgeous hubby. Not only is he my partner & best friend, but my inspiration & sunshine. In summary it really feels like one of those “ …. & they lived happily ever after” fairy tales!
Most of my yrs back in Swazi I’ve been working as a computer consultant - installing, upgrading & setting up companies on payroll systems & Accpac. I thoroughly enjoyed it but was equally as happy to pull the plug at the end of September last yr, just before Tristan was born. Other than the demands of motherhood, I’m now working hand in hand with Kim on property development which we find far more rewarding & enjoyable - especially as it’s flexy time for me. (LOVING that!)
… And now … we’re expecting Roques Jnr number 2! Can’t believe it’s all happened so fast (clearly wasn’t planned that way, but it sure is brilliant oops to deal with). We’re due mid December which gives us a narrow gap of 13.5 months between the two. Hard work & challenges up ahead, but fully exciting nonetheless!
Finally for any of you who ever venture out to this neck of the woods, give me a buzz. (+ 268 6025772) Pop in, come stay – whatever! Would be awesome to catch up.
I’ve attached a few pics of my merry men & for those that are keen to share in the festivities of our farm wedding 2 yrs ago, my cuzzi put up a website for us -
