The 1st week

Ok so I won't be able to post all my pictures on here, because I don't have enough time, but I wanted to at least get a start on it. Here is a picute of the Brisbane River with the city in the background.

This first week has been incredible!! We were picked up from the airport by Peter and Kathy, our Australian family. They took us to our new apartment and showed us around town. They took us to our school, Newmarket Primary State School last Monday morning and introduced us to everyone.

Peter was our contact to the school as well and he is working hard to make this the best educational and cultural experience as well. Yesterday (10/21) Peter and Kathy took us up the Sunshine Coast. It was absolutely gorgeous. I will post pictures tomorrow (or maybe later tonight) of the beach. I've definitely never seen waves like this on the Atlantic Ocean. We were even told that they weren't as high as normal. It really tossed me round a bit, but it was a lot of fun.

Today we had Professional Development at school. It wasn't to bad, and after grocery shopping, we came home to watch some movies. I think that we're all a little homesick and so watching the movies and relaxing was just what the Dr. ordered.

I just wanted to thank all of my family and friends for all the love and support you have given me. I miss you and love you all!!!
