It's been a long time

OKAY! It has actually been a long, LONG while since I wrote in my beloved blog.
In the time between now and my last entry I have began to live life here in Sydney. I’ve been so busy in fact that I have not had the time to do any chronicling of my journeys. Admittedly it has not really been anything worth chronicling because as we all know it’s exciting to move to a different country and even more exciting to start making money. However after a while there are those things called “real life” and “settling in”. It happens to everyone –yes, that includes you Mike you cheap bastard! (Are you done renovating yet?????????)
As you have already guessed the biggest bit of news is that I have a killer position with Pfizer Australia as a Demand Analyst. They even like the work that I am doing. I can tell this because my boss decided that he would go away on vacation even though I have only been on the job for about three weeks now. In other news, what I hope to be my only school applications, are now submitted which means that now all I have to do is wait for a reply back from the schools. The schools that I have submitted to are Thunderbird (My #1!) and Olin. If all goes well I should be in early stages of male pattern baldness from the stress of my exams. I’ll let you all know when I hear back.

I am happy to say that, for what I think is the first time ever, all of my Christmas parcels have been sent out. They should love what they get. I tried to get as creative as I could this year as I am in Australia. With this task done my lovely lady and I have now shifted our attention to getting ready for our trip to Thailand (yes, despite all of the recent events!) We will be visiting Phucket, Koh Sumai, and Bangkok. It will be a great Christmas on the beach though admittedly I am missing the snow big time. It's kind of a weird feeling actually. I look out the window and it's raining. Did you know that two inches of rain equals about 20-inches in snow? Yeah, the rain is a total misuse of perfectly good precipitation. It's totally raining on the plans of skiers everywhere.

While on our vacation Amber and I are planning (in no particular order) to: ride an elephant, sit on the beach, go snorkeling, take a Thai cooking class, go shopping, and go on several hikes. I'll be sure to post plenty of pics after the fact.
Anyway, I really must be running now. Talk to you all later. I need to have a discussion with a certain camera shop sales man. That’s a story for a little bit later on.
