the South African Way

Lee and Caryn van Deventer

My hubby and I are two South African's who met each other in the state of Utah...of all places. Then to top it off we were blessed to win a greencard! . Miracles happen! So now we get to stay and experience life in a new and exciting place, with different adventures and blogging all about it!

Summer as of late....

It has been an extremely busy summer so I have been unable to update this blog very often so here are some tidbits of the summer!
Paige and I made t-shirts for her class fun day (as we would call it)! Of cause our puff-paint work had to look really good so that none of the children would show us up, so we spent some time on them! I think they turned out super, especially considering I had to change my Jewish star to the less political 5-point star lol!
Bridal shower party!!! Paige and Amy were very kind a threw me a fun-young-friends only bridal shower! They had these really cute and delicious cupcakes with pink tulle everywhere! Thanks for all the gift's I got ladies...lee really appreciates it!
And Julianne brought her 6 week old baby, Abby, to visit the new house!

Groomals

We were able to take some pre-wedding shots and thought you might like to see some of them. Bridals or groomals is a bit of a Utah tradition, a tradition we took full advantage of just in case we had some bad weather on the wedding day. Most of the images were taken at Capital Hill, which is down town Salt Lake City.
Unfortunately all these pictures were shot next to a building with birds all over and one happened to fly over my head and poop on me. So I actually had a brown mark on my dress by my left hip in all these pictures and our photographer had remove it. I am hoping it was a good luck memento, because I was very unhappy with that bird! I mean seriously its just my luck!
