woops...I forgot I had a blog

So I have this theory: it's easier to write multiple short blogposts then one large one. This is going to be the center idea behind my blogging...mainly because nothing else is working because I'm a horrible procrastinator.

So lately...

Not a whole lots has happened.

My exciting news for the past MONTH is mainly that the Lengkeeks have returned home safe and sound. I'm not saying that south africa wasn't a home to them but..this was their original home and therefore has been deemed "home." Just clarfying. :D It was really great seeing them all again, you never really realized how much you missed someone until you see them again. Then you just can't stop smiling. :) As usual I was surrounded by multiple screaming kids chasing me around the house. Currently I'm sitting at 16nieces and nephews with 2 on the way. I literally JUST counted how many people are in my immediate family. 35 people. that's insane. So heres a photo rendition of my evening:
Mixed in these pictures is a picture of Natalie Faith Vanderpol. This skatterbol is a week and a half old and the cutest thing ever :) Sara and Andria (seen below) are also both pregnant.









Other than the Lengkeeks coming over I haven't been up to too much. I started working landscaping (I call it "glorified weed picking" to be more accurate) but hey, you do what you gotta do. It's actually really great when me and dee work together because we get a lot of work done but we get to talk at the same time. The only problem is that we tend to do medians and you get a lot of wolf wistles etc. etc. mainly because you're a women. This is something I have yet to understand...I mean...we look like death? Ah well...the mind of men...a fathomless pit.
I've also been working to get some schoolwork done. I've been retaking some high school courses because I had 85% and I need 86% (woot woot) <- this is sarcasm. just saying. I just finished biology 12 :D The school I'm taking it through (FVDES) apparently gives "student of the week" rewards so they gave me $20. (cooool...:D) Right now I'm working on chemistry and hopefully I'll be done in a week.
In my spare time I talk to my boyfriend on skype...it's kinda an addiction...YAY for skype! :) Sadly when I start working the time distance is going to be incredibely annoying but hey, everything about 16000km is annoying so no biggie :D
