2016 Greatest Hits


It being the end of the year and all, I'm reflecting on 2016 and looking ahead to 2017.

Some highlights of 2016 include...

- THREE trips home to the US in three different seasons! 
- two incredibly fun weddings
- The Smithsonian behind the scenes talk for The Walking Dead
- Taiwan - hiking and visiting an old friend (and making some new ones by association)
- Japan -exploring, skiing, and meeting up with some Sydney friends
- Camping in Kangaroo Valley and Megalong Valley
- Weekends up in Palm Beach
- A visit from Lizzie, Michael's cousin
- Several frisbee tournaments, including Beach Nationals and Terrigal Towel
- Local theater and concerts, including three shows at the Sydney Opera House and Matilda the Musical
- Supball at Manly 
- The Blue Mountains
- Byron Bay
- weekly trivia
- Annual Sydney festivals like Vivid and Sculpture by the Sea

... just to name a few. Also, we did some work and got paid, and volunteered a little bit, between all those fun things. Around the world there have been high highs and low lows, and everything keeps spinning for now. We are very thankful for our health, friends and family, and all the opportunities we've had. 

In 2017 we look forward to settling into our new place, attaining permanent residency, and even more adventures.
