After a couple weeks away on holiday in the Cape, I concluded our fantastic holiday by proposing to my beautiful girlfriend. Luckily she said yes We had an awesome day with all our friends and family that come down to Cape Town to be with us on our special day. Thanks to my family, Ruvenna’s family and Lee, Ruvenna’s best friend, for travelling down especially for the engagement and helping to make the 30th of December so awesome.

Training has been going well. I am really enjoying my paddling and I am so excited to get down to Cape Town and start training full time with Mike and Marcus. I am heading down to Cape Town on the 25th of this month to settle down. Ruvenna will follow a few days later and then we will be able to start setting up and furnishing our new home. Its all very exciting. For the nest 2 weeks I will tying up all my lose ends in Joburg and packing up all my belongings in preparation for the big move

The pic above was taken a few minutes after the proposal. For those of you with sharp eyes, her ring is still being set according to her choice!
