Introducing: THE SCOTT TEAM @hope777 & @scotty777

This is our story...

I and my hubby @scotty777 came onto steemit 3 weeks ago. We were introduced by @giantbear, for which we will be eternally grateful. Since then we are trying to find our way here on steemit. After a few days, we realized it is going to take hard work and commitment.

A bit about our background and more....

My first hubby died 3 months before our 25th anniversary. My new hubby @scotty777 came into my life just 20 days later. He was going through a divorce. We fell head over heals in love and got married 5 months later. It is now 9 years later and we are inseparable. We do almost everything together, especially since we came to live on the South Coast of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa about 5 years ago. This is such a beautiful and amazing place to live at.

We got married at the coast as you can see from some of our photos that find themselves into our posts from time to time. Since then we had a dream to come stay here. Scotty was injured at work, a spine injury and after 3 failed back operations, he is permanently unfit to work and gets a disability pension. (the reason why his ex-wife forsook him, her loss, my gain) So we did not have a lot of money, but that did not stand in our way. We had LOVE and each other and we believe LOVE conquers all. His health even got much better, he even says LOVE healed him.

We take a major step in life. Some of our family and friends, I think, thought that we are out of our minds. We did not have the money to pay for moving 900 km away. It would have cost about R15 000. So we almost sell everything. A family member moved the few pieces of furniture with his 4x4 and trailer for us, for R5000. And so our new life began. What a wonderful life is it is here at the coast. We love to walk on the beach especially at sunrise and we love to swim and enjoy the sun. Scotty loves to fish and while he is doing that, I take pictures of the ocean and the beach. I can never get enough of the ocean.

I escaped out of the vicious paid slavery cycle, where your whole life belongs to the boss you work for. They decide when you can have off, when you can support your kids, even how long you can get off work to grieve when your husband died. So we took some caretaking jobs, Scotty can do supervision, he just cannot do anything himself. Lots of this caretaking jobs include free housing as part of your compensation.

I started to rent our holiday homes for the owners and this kept us going. We moved a lot, but each time bettering our position. In the meantime, I also started to do my internship as a Real Estate Agent. Scotty is helping me with everything. He does all the hard things, struggling with all the keys and locks while I can concentrate on the clients. He also takes all the pictures of homes when I am doing listings. We worked together and we are a TEAM. We definitely have our disagreements but we usually quickly blow off some STEEM :-) and move on. Our new dream is to have our own home again and we are sure that with our hard work, commitment and the help of God we will fulfill it.

So since we started our steemit journey, WE ARE IN IT TOGETHER, just the way we love it. I tried my hand at a few posts and start to blog about my passion LOVE AND MARRIAGE and also enjoy posting my photos although I do not have a good camera. (hope my steem will help me buy one sometime). The blog started to get some better support than some of my other posts.

Scotty also started out with interesting things about our country and had some interest. But he hit a bit of a rough time, working hard on his posts and getting only a few cents. I think he does not have enough followers that share his passion, and that is science for the layman. He is by no means a scientist but he marvels in the way God created everything and how everything works. More wonderful about this, is that lots of this you can find in the Bible. Although most people believe there is a cliff as wide as the ocean between the Bible and Science. He also loves nature.

So one of the major reasons I decided to write our story today is also to try to get him more followers. Since he saw @papa-pepper's post about the rattlesnake, Scotty is doing a blog today about the snakes that we get here.
