Want to share something with you.

While i was browsing on youtube this evening i found a video clip of SA, a lot of you know we lived there for 14 years.
Our son was born there.
The song in this clip, sang by a friend of my brother, was the opening dance of our wedding in may of 2004 when we renewed our vows.
I know i know... it's goofy, but that what the song is all about, is what i wished for SA when i said my Gbyes to the country.

Hope you enjoy.

What a lovely song and lovely pictures!!! I'm sure that it makes you homesick. I didn't know that you lived in SA! My husband and I live in the same community that we were born in. I think that's why I would love to travel.

My daughter's best friend's dad is from SA. They went back last Christmas (2006) to visit her grandfather. She brought back little gifts and we got to hear all about her trip. Her parents lived there for a little while.

Thanks for sharing and it's good to see you on here, Mandy!!!!!!

That is so beautiful Mandy. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know you lived in South Africa. What an exquisite place.

I love the song also!

That's awesome Mandy! South Africa is one place I would LOVE to visit. Growing up, my doctor (and neighbor!) was from there and I babysat his kids. Their house was amazing and full of African art and furniture, and the kids were so smart and seemed so worldly! At 6-8 years old they had seen half the world and could speak 3 languages!

I didn't know you had lived there either. I'm like Diana, live in the county in which I was raised, but love to travel. Looks like a very interesting place to visit. How exciting that you were able to live there. Beautiful song and pictures!!!! I'm sure it brings back memories....

Mandy!!! Where you been??? I've missed you!

That song is beautiful..love the words and the rhythm. I had no idea either that you lived in S. Africa, it's so beautiful. I've never seen pictures of the cities before.

I too was born and raised in the county I was born in. Haven't strayed too far either. I've been through the states south of Indiana on my way to Florida and have been to Texas and Oklahoma and Michigan. I would love to travel someday. Looking at those pictures and listening to the lovely music made me realize just how much more is out there to see and live.

Awwww thanks girls, i thought a lot of you knew, i dont know what gave me that idea LOL
It is a beautiful country, but i knew we would not live there for the rest of our lives. When our son was almost 4 we came back home, we did leave a lot of very dear friends behind, but we all have to make choices in our lives, and do whats best.
The weather was always beautiful, i miss that!!
