American In Sydney

Last days of 2006

2006 has been super eventful, and while I usually am nostalgic about years just flying by, I can say that I'm glad to see 2006 go.

It's been a good year as Jackson graduated with his MBA, we travelled through Turkey, the Greek Islands, Japan, Singapore, and finally settled in Sydney. We bought a car, rented an apartment, and then switched apartments. We played field hockey, squash, and golf. Jackson started working, while I continue to look for a the perfect job. And my life can easily be simplified as a schedule that revolves around the television shows we look forward to, the golf games we go play, the dinners that fill our social calendar.

It's been tough as I've been wondering more about the life that we're creating here and if I really want to put down roots. I'm still struggling with the distance from my family and friends. I'm still struggling to find a job because at this point, I don't even know what my dream job is. Even though the day is not filled, I am still tired.

I am relieved that this year is over, because it was a tough one - I'm optimistic though... cause 2007 has to be better.
