Proud BOSASA Parents!

Today is a great day at BOSASA!

I went to the IT Department to get a Laptop charger, on my way back to the office I see a female Springbok walking like something was about to pop out of the...you know. So,I pay attention and realise that it's about to give birth. I get excited, rush to the office to get my Ipad and tell my colleagues "we are about to get a baby" and rush back to the "hospital". We waited and waited for the baby to come out but it didn't. Every time she was about to pop someone would pass innocently and disturb it, so Jerome (the father) and I gave up and went back to the office.

This is what i saw when I realised that I was about to become a mom lol

While we contemplated on getting back to work, our house keeper Jane comes running to the office, "The baby is coming" she said. I call Jerome "Jerome we are about to have a baby." Jerome comes running,  we take our gadgets and rush back to the "hospital" As soon as we get there, we see that the baby is half way through, we get excited and take some videos. We waited for a few minutes and a guy innocently passes through the "labour ward", the mother Springbok stands up and voilà the baby falls on the ground!! 

"Congratulations Jerome! What are we calling it?" I asked. Mpho, our colleague suggested, "Jerome Junior West." and everyone started laughing.

Newly born baby! Welcome Junior!

We then waited for the baby to take it's first step and it eventually did! #Proud_Moment

Daddy Bok got excited and started initiating another baby but Mommy Bok said, "No it's too soon dear." But he didn't listen, he kept going for it, shame..Haha

We witnessed the beauty of nature today and I was proud to be part of this great event. I've never seen anything like this before and I loved the experience. 

I am Paballo Seipei, today I'm a proud mother of Jerome Junior West.

Inspiration from a Facebook Post

I lost something that wasn't mine and I felt so heart broken when I realised that I counted my chickens before they were hatched. I guess I thought over about how life would be if I got it, got over excited and fantasised a lot. 

Lovely Miss Paballo Seipei learned something new today.

"Life would be great" I thought. I had big plans but they went down the drain because I wasn't prepared. I told myself that it was another lesson learned. "I need to prepare and sharpen my skills for such things,"I concluded .

I then went through Facebook to browse around and came across this quote from Nonkululeko Nomga saying, "Whatever you go through in life, grows you. The lessons that life gives you are blessings in disguise because they grow you and make you wiser, smarter and tougher." I felt relieved, I needed that confirmation.  I needed to hear/see those words because what happened today was not a failure but a lesson. Thank you Nono.

I am Paballo Seipei, today I learnt to grow wiser. 

Mr and Mrs Lawana - Traditional Wedding

So, the week after my sister's wedding, her friend Hloyi got married! Isn't this great!! December should just be changed to Wedecember. The weddings during that time are a lot, my gosh!

Mr & Mrs Lawana!

Like most girls, I too love weddings and I had to go to this one. My sister went on a trip to Bela-Bela and I went on her behalf with her Husband. I was a standby wife for the day hahaha. The wedding was super intimate and fun.

Look who joined us! My brother Gift!

Lebo Sibande, my sister's best friend rocked up with her husband in their His & Her's Traditional outfits. We went with them to the wedding. It was a double date with an extra date, lol. They looked so beautiful!

Mr & Mrs Sibande looking oh so beautiful!

The team was ready to invade Hloyi's wedding!

The decor welcomed us!

Isn't this cute?!

The one thing that touched me about this wedding was the vows. It's a good feeling listening to people exchanging such beautiful words and yet emotional. I teared up with Hloyi as she expressed the love she has for her husband. She was soo cute.

The lovely couple!

The bridesmaids!

I wish Hloyi & Phuthuma many more years of love. May they enjoy each other to the fullest, make their marriage what they want it to be and always allow God to be their mediator.

After a long queue of "Picture with the bride" session, we finally conquered!

I am Paballo Seipei and I enjoyed the Lawana Wedding!
