I'm sitting in the study listening to the dulcet tones of machine guns and alien groans.
Tim is playing on his Xbox!
It's nice to be home. I hate to say that, because Sydney isn't really home, and if there is one things my last month in Melbourne has taught me its that Sydney isn't home. But Sydney is a nice place- it's where we have our stuff, it's where many of our friends live- and most importantly- it's where Tim and I live together. Its amazing how "at home" I feel sleeping in my own bed, using my own stuff, and knowing that I have my husband all to myself!
We'll, at least I only have to share him with the Xbox!
And there are so many fun things about living where we live. Last night we went out for our first cheap Thai meal of the year. Today we'll head down King St and grab some coffee while Tim reads and I prepare my kids talk for Sunday. And (I'm really embarrassed to admit this) I've already done my walk down Parramatta road to check out what's new in all the Wedding dress shop displays!
I've got a new job this year working at our church, coordinating the kid's and women's minsitry. This year there are so many things to be excited about, so many new challenges, and lots of things that petrify me.
My New Years resolution is to rejoice with those who rejoice and to morn with those who morn. Might sound a little strange- but as someone who gets wraped up in her own joys and sorrows and forgets the situation of others- it's going to be a massive challenge.
Here ends my first random ramble of the year.

I wonder where home will be when college is over. I moved to Melbourne with the intention of staying for the period of study only and moving back to Sydney. For the first couple of years Sydney was definitely home, then the balance started to shift. There was a period where neither place really felt like home and then slowly it became clear that I'd put down firm roots in Melbourne. I still miss people in Sydney but Melbourne is home to me now. And sometimes that still surprises me!
