The next chapter

I actually wrote this post yesterday but managed to delete it whilst trying to post it so gave up and decided to try again today. it was really good yesterday too! I was sitting at my computer, nice and relaxed, listening to Pandora. For those of you who are unaware, Pandora is a website where you can go and create your own radio stations but typing in the music you like, Christian or secular. The site then generates a radio staion that plays that particular artist and others like them. It's a really good way to become familiar with new bands without spending money buying CDs or downloading there songs. You can generate 4 or 5 stations automatically and an unlimited number if you happen to know an American post code. I can't recommend it highly enough. Thanks Jon for introducing me to it!

Well, life continues to be entertaining and suprisinging. As you may have already heard, I have resigned from my job and will be finishing up on Friday. I'm not exactly sure what I'll be going to but that thought of moving on to the next phase of life is exciting. I've had and amazing time in Sydney over the past 4 years and will leave behind an incredible group of friends and a great church. It has been a blessing to be a part of something significant andI've learnt so much about myself and others and how to do life well. I've also learnt about how to do life not-so-well and intend rectifying that with some rest and relaxation!

Expect to see a lot more of the Sydney siders as my friends make their way down at every available opportunity. I don't think any of them have their flights booked just yet but hopefully it won't be too far away... I'm looking forward to showing Melbourne off to them. When people come to visit it is a great excuse to head into the city and spend the day.

So the next week will be pretty full as I finish off at work, pack, say goodbye to people and generally organise my life. My beautiful mother is coming all the way up again to help me pack and move everything and then we are driving back to Victoria on Australia Day. Well I'm off the the movies tonight so I should stop rambling. I think We will see Blood Diamond which I've heard great reviews about. On Saturday we went and saw The Pursuit of Happyness which I highly recommend to all. it didn't make me cry but was a really great story.

Love you all, see the Victorians soon!
