2016

Well happy new year!

I thought about going to Sydney to see the fireworks but a lot of people online said it gets insanely crowded and with the heat, can be miserable.  Plus prices in the already expensive city skyrocket for New Years.  I ended up not really doing anything for New Years.  I could see some fireworks from the hostel balcony which was nice.


So what big things happened in 2015?
  • Made a group of completely new friends from work which I can confidently say will remain friends for a long time.  The PG family are some of the best people I've ever met.  Miss you guys!
  • March marked a successful one year of weekly postings on this blog.
  • Got to climb outside way more than I have in the past.
  • Went back to Fort Collins to see some people I hadn't seen in a while and had so much fun!
  • Had the incredible opportunity to travel around Australia for a little over a month.
  • Took quite a fall and broke my first bone.
  • Probably the most significant thing, I actually moved to Australia with the hopes of being here a year.
  • Got my first Australian job. 
I was reading over the post I did at this time last year and mentioned having a few goals.  I ended up achieving the main one which was to get to Australia (actually did it twice). Honestly don't really remember what the other ones were so let's just call it an overall success.    

The main goal (or at least public goal) for 2016 is to successfully remain in Australia for a year (or close to). Hard to believe but I've already been here for almost 2 months...crazy.

I moved out of the hostel today and into a house for six weeks.  I've only been here about an hour and am very happy with the decision.  We have a cat and he already loves me.

Once again, happy new year!

That's all for now.  Bye.
