The year 2004 is almost gone. What a year! This year has brought me wonderful opportunities and great friends. I went to my first Tech-Ed and I got involved with SAArchitect.net. I learnt much about myself, my strengths and weaknesses. I have realised that I truely like people and want to see them succeed. As long as I spend my energy on people, I will excell at what ever I do, because I am doing something I am truely passionate about. Oh, yes and technology is quite cool too!

Next year will start out with quite a few upheavels. The move to JHB and my new job. My husband also starts a new job. I know our stress levels will go through the roof and we will have a few fights over petty things. The kids will miss their friends and hate the new school uniforms. This is what makes life interesting. Is it worth all the upheavel? We shall see. Soon I will be a proud and enthusiastic employee of Microsoft South Africa! Evan will have a really challenging position too. Carreer wise the move to JHB is a clever one for us. Based on the overwhelming reaction I got on my previous blog and the e-mails I received, we will also not be friendless strangers in a scary place. We will have a home in a new city with friends waiting to make us feel welcome. 

To each and everyone of you, have a wonderful festive season! May you find your passion in 2005 and ride on the wave of success it brings.
