21 today

Today, my parents & I celebrate 21 years in Australia.

We landed in Melbourne in the morning of 20 Dec 1988. Lived with my uncle (mum's brother) for three weeks, then moved to Sydney because mum had a job offer at what was then the Cumberland College of Health Sciences - which later became part of the University of Sydney - which job mum still has.

Lots has happened in 21 years. Amongst other things:

* Visited New Zealand, England, Belgium, France, Germany, Thailand & Canada;

* Got myself 3 undergraduate degrees (Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Divinity);

* Lived in Homebush, Parramatta, Minchinbury, Rooty Hill, Newtown & Croydon;

* Changed careers from accounting to church ministry;

* Became a Presbyterian;

* Got 1,260 friends on Facebook - and yes, I do actually know them all, even if only remotely;

* Got this blog.

Wonder what the next 21 years hold - if the Lord gives me that long? Check back in 2030.
