6 Days til Hong Kong...

It's been a while since I've done an entry so I thought I better write something for my "many" readers, I'm sure there are thousands of you :). I have been really sick for the last week. It's amazing how being sick can mess with your mind emotionally. I have been feeling really down, what they might call the winter blues. Everything was such a chore and I had no motivation to do anything. I'm hoping I'll snap out of it in time for my new job because I'll have alot to learn.

Yesterday I went to the winter bridal expo with Aisha, Connie and Matt's parents. Walking around the expo made me so happy I wasn't planning a wedding. But I have to admit besides Chi, Aisha is one of the most relaxed brides I've seen, or she isn't showing her stress too much. The wedding business is such a money making machine, even if I wanted to get married right now I don't think it we could afford it, everything is so expensive!! I must have forgotten my experience from my first wedding.

Ty and I leave for Hong Kong in 6 days, this trip was planned and paid for in January and the date has finally arrived. We have had an exciting year buying a house together and now our first trip overseas together. After Hong Kong we will be in Brisbane to see Clara, Phan and my beautiful niece Mai. I'm really excited about this trip and being away with Ty.

Life is constantly changing...

Well as you have probably read I have been quite unhappy in my current job. I started job hunting again a few weeks ago. One of the jobs I applied for was with Westpac as a Home Finance Manager, and I am happy to say I was succesful. After a couple of interviews which were quite in depth my new boss rang to say "Congratulations!" I had been dreading telling my current boss that I was resigning because she has been so good to me. In the end I didn't need to worry she was very understanding and told me she knew I had been unhappy for a while now. She realises the importance of being happy at work, considering how much time we spend there. I have learnt alot from my current job, and I will take those new skills with me. I feel I have made the right decision. I start at Westpac after we get back from Hong Kong so it works out perfectly.
