Looking back...

Some days I still can't believe I'm living here in Sydney.   It was always just a far fetched dream that I wasn't sure would actually happen. It's been a little over a year now, which is pretty crazy. Time does fly by! I really feel lucky to have had this opportunity to live and experience a whole new place.  I will admit, there has been ups and downs, fun and hard times but I wouldn't take any of it back.  I've sadly missed out on seeing my nieces grow up, missed a few close friends' weddings, and missed out on things going on back in LA. But I have also been able to spend quality time with my cousins here and  watch their adorable kids grow up. I was also around when Maram and Quy discovered they were pregnant and now having a beautiful new baby boy, which is so awesome.

I still am not sure how long I will stay here or what my future holds, but in the meantime, I am enjoying this beautiful city and am grateful for all of the great friends I have made and for my family who has made this transition so much easier than it would have been without their support. I am thankful to have always had the support from my friends and family back home, who didn't necessarily want me to move halfway around the world.
