doin' fine in 09

Happy New Year and all that! hehe.. Thanks for all the presents and wishes etc too...
We spent the new year down in New South Wales, the Tweed Coast... on the beach, near Coolangatta... We had a great little spot where we could see the Gold Coast, and Coolangatta, which meant we got two sets of fireworks!! YAY! Cause they have daylight savings down there... it was funny, fireworks started going off at 11.00pm, and we thought, hm.. must be pre-midnight fireworks... and only afterwards we realised it was their New Year already.. hehehe...
Anyway, had a great little time down there. We were at Fingal Heads the first night, slept in the car there.. and then we went to another beach which is a bit more secluded and slept on the beach that night.. camped.. complete with beach bonfire... :) And the following night we decided we really needed a proper shower so went to a caravan park down in a place called Wooyung I think. Its really nice down there... i think it is like what the Sunshine Coast used to be before the big developments moved in and it became trendy... heh..
We drove back slowly on Saturday, cause the weather was pretty bad. Just overcast and windy and it had rained pretty hard all night.. which was good anyway, to get back on Saturday and still have a day before starting work again...
Work today, has been a bit chaotic... but at least I have only 3 weeks before holidays again! I'm taking 2 and a half weeks of holidays before Mateus is going back to Brazil for his holiday... so really really looking forward to that.
Oh, and *drumroll* I finished my Certificate IV in TESOL! Hurrah! I finished it on the 31st of December exactly, which was the last day I had to hand everything in.. hehe.. talk about last minute! I haven't heard if I have passed everything yet, but so far so good.. been getting some results back and they have been good. Just glad that I finished it.. FINALLY!
So thats crossed off my list... list is still rather long, but at least thats done... :)
I've got some photos, from the weekend.. have to put them up soon. Still doing a lot of catch up...
