2009 has been quite an interesting year for me, yet exciting and adventurous!
January: I was still living in Phoenix, and had been working for LifeTime Fitness. Continued my weekend hikes with the besties. Was good as can be!
February: Things had changed, and I ended up moving to Utah. Although, I LOVE LOVE LOVE AZ, it was not for the best at this time. I packed up, and one of my good friends joined me on the drive to Utah and helped me get all settled!
March: My job transfer with LifeTime went through, and off I was to join a new crew! Was the best thing I ever did.
April: I had been working at LTF for a month. Loving the "new" job. Although, not so much loving Utah. And quickly remembered why I left it, once I got stuck in a nearly a foot of snow, when it should really have been SPRING! I had started applying for nanny jobs abroad. 3 days later, was offered a job in Sydney!
May: I had missed my friends in AZ too much. Home I went, just for a getaway. Then to NYC with the nieces and nephews!
June: I started saying goodbye to friends and family near and far! Went from Utah to Idaho, to Utah, to Arizona, to California. Left my favourite team I had ever worked with. Planned and partied at my dad's 60th Birthday party. Saw realtives I hadn't seen in YEARS! And a few days later, I was on my way to Sydney.
July: First things first....I missed my absolute favourite holiday of ALL TIME! (4th of July). But had been getting settled in Sydney. Celebrated the girls 2nd Birthday.And trying to come to terms with the fact that it was WINTER in July.
August: Meeting new people. And just living it up. Nothing particular. Just a couple rugby matches!
September: Jen and Bryan (sis and bro in law) had come out for a visit. Bryan had a bussiness tip here, and his office happened to be around the corner! Spent lots of time with my sis, and showed her the place I oh so love! A day in history for Sydney. As it suffered one of it's worst Dust Storms, ever! I remember waking up to the smell of dirt, and looking outside and it was ORANGE as can be (as you see in the pics!) Weirdest and most Erry thing EVER. Was to be inside all day. As no one was meant to be out. Oh, um.......I dusted.
October: I went to New Zealand. Auckland. Had SO much fun. Went Bungy Jumping off the Auckland Bridge.(which 3 years ago you never could have paid me to do). I was so excited to do it............until I got to the edge and FREAKED out. But just did it, and now I want to do it ALL THE TIME. I loved, loved, loved it! Skydiving next? YES PLEASE!
November: Scored free tickets to a box at the Nickelback Concert (thanks Pippa!) Got all frocked up and went to the races. Then took a weekend away to Melbourne. Liked it, but defenitley prefer Sydney.
December: Beach. Boat. Pool. That's where I live, for it is SUMMER.and I LOVE it. Also went to see the Fireworks over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. SOOOOOOOOO many people. Sat for 7 hours waiting. So worth it.
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and has a happy and healthy New Year!
With Love,
Kim
