Hey everyone!!

Not much other than school and work has been going on around the Becking household. With the end of the school year rolling around, I have been busy busy getting everything in order. In addition to my work, one of the teachers who left in July left a bit of "organizational chaos" behind her. So Lorna Clinning (head of the Math department) asked me to get all of Charmaine's things ready for the end of the year also. It's not hard work, but it was very time consuming. Yesterday was wonderful... I walked out of the school without any work! It was great - the first time in a few weeks. I am tutoring this afternoon, then Mark and I are relaxing watching movies tonight after supper. YEA!! This weekend we are having Mark's family over for brunch then I am going shopping with our friend, Jenny, who is making a trip to the states in November/December with her dad. I'm so excited because she is going to be in Miami one night, so Robert is going to take our wedding photos to her hotel so she can bring them back to us!! I can't wait to see our pics!!!

Mark has been very busy as well - which is why I didn't mind bringing work home for a few weeks - at least we could work together. He's been working for around 6 weeks on a project for a company called Trialogue. Every company in South Africa has to be rated (don't ask me, I don't completely understand - this is just an overview). But it is all so confusing and stuff that no one has written a program that makes the process easier. I'm not sure that the gov't really knows exactly what they are looking for yet. Anyways, Mark has written that program - and since Trialogue has more resources than Mark, he is partnering up with them for this project. Pretty much he wrote the program, they are going to sell it, and the profits will be shared. Sounds pretty good, and they were impressed with his work. So, he flew down to Cape Town for the day on Wednesday to present it. He got home around 9:00, so Sandy and I went to see "No Reservations" - such a cute movie. I highly recommend it.

Well that is about all that is happening these days. I hope everyone had a good week, and I'll try to put up another blog sometime in the near future. Love you guys!!!
