Happy New Year...

To one and all...

Happy New Year 2011!

I trust that the coming year will be a most excellent one. I hope that it is one that sees all your dreams come to fruition. May the year be one that is happy and rewarding, both personally and professionally, an that you get to share all of those moments with family and friends.

For us, the "adventure" will soon begin. We will be off to Collarenebri. I was expecting to get appointed to a remote and rural location. So, in that sense, Collarenebri was not that much of a shock. Interestingly, it was one of the schools that I looked up when I was seeing where I might get appointed to.

The next three years, at least, for us are pretty much mapped out as I will be completing the terms of a scholarship that requires me to stay at Collarenebri. However, we are also intending to make the odd trip "home" to Indonesia. It is important for Will (and for Dyah too) to get back to Indonesia and get to know his Indonesian side of the family and to learn a little bit about his Indonesian heritage.

Anyways...

This is what the fireworks looked like in Sydney!



Once again, Happy New Year to all!
