Back to Blog World!

Hello all!

I woke up at 4am Sydney time today to watch Barak Obama take the oath and become our 44th President. Through bleary eyes I watched and was inspired by his words. The speech wasn't gung ho as others he's delivered; it had a somber feeling to it. However, he truly made me believe that we can work together to make our nation great once again! (I'll do my best from Oz, but I think I'll have some more success when I'm back on home soil!)

Back now to Amy's world:

Well...it's back to blog world at last! Kenny K and Brandon R have inspired me to get on this 101 in 1001 train! I don't usually make goals for myself...just say there's a bunch of crap I wanna do and do it when I can. This, however, will force me to really think about my goals and actually have a list I can check things off of.
It may take me a few days/weeks to finalise this list, but I will post it soon!

Life:
I've been living in Australia with Andy for the past 6 months (from August 2008) and it's been wonderful! We've been living in his grandparents old house, and have been given a taste of what a 'real' couples life would be like! I'm working at Macquarie University as a PA, which has been good. Not my ultimate job to say the least, but none the less, it pays the bills! My contract ends on the 13th of February as my visa stipulates I must not work for one company for more than 6 months. So I'm now looking for a decent job between Feb and April when my visa expires. If I don't find anything, I think I'll head home and start looking for a job since that may take awhile anyway.
Andy is planning to move to Syracuse in October 2009 (he wants to get one more season in before commiting to a life of snow and unpredictable weather! Plus he's missed out on the last two seasons). So I'd like to have a job and have some money saved by the time he gets there so we can get a place of our own.

Other than that, life hasn't been too crazy! I went to Europe for a few weeks in May 2008 and had a ball! I would love to get over there again and for a bit more time. Maybe (if) I get my Aussie citizenship someday, Andy and I can go to the UK to work for a year and then more travel can happen! That is some time away though, so I'll have to do smaller trips until then.

Well...being back in Blog world is nice! More to come soon... :-)AM
