The second 6 months of 2008.

Talk about time slipping away, I blinked and the second 6 months of 2008 disappeared!

Although receiving news that I was unsuccessful in my application for the Rotary World Peace Fellowship, I did find out that I had been accepted to attend the 4th World Youth Congress based on WhyCantWeGetMarried.com.

On the way to the conference (in Canada) we stopped in Los Angeles to do some much needed catching up with the familiar crew. We even managed to squeeze in a mates 30th birthday party, a trip to Las Vegas and a trip to Red Rock Canyon! It was so lovely to do a little bit of exploring again and see some much loved friends!

The conference itself was held in August, in Quebec. It was really surprising just how anti-English Quebec seemed to be although it was a very pretty place. The conference itself was good but there were several hiccups which blocked many delegates receiving the full conference experience that I had met in Scotland three years prior. It was still worthwhile and we met many wonderful people and learnt many valuable things that have continued to influence our work and projects.

While in North America I received notification that I had been successful in a full time professional position I had applied for, back in Aus. I have now been working here for three and a half months and am loving it. My team is supportive, my employer is appreciative, the benefits are very reasonable and the work load is fine. In addition, I am able to keep tutoring part time and they appreciate my life outside of work, namely my work on my volunteer and NFP projects! Hurrah! Gold!

Soon one of my best friends from the States is coming to visit and I look forward to showing her around my home town!

It finally seems that, *gasp*, I've settled. I have a steady job, I am enjoying being back in Brisbane, I am in a loving and stable relationship and things are just hunky-dory. I am very, very grateful for having reached this point.

Much love

Kristiana
