Easter Weekend

I finally am sitting down to blog. Sorry that it's taken so long everyone! We've just been settling in and that means that we've been pretty busy. Ha ha. It's been really good though.

Things are going really well here. We just had Easter weekend which is a really big deal in Australia. I would compare it to Halloween in America in that everyone buys a BUNCH of candy and chocolate for their family and friends. Also the whole town kinda shuts down over the weekend like Christmas in America. Pretty much everyone has Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off work. Totally different mindset to the "go, go, go" attitude we have in America.

The weather is really cooling off over here. When we first got here it was pretty hot, in the high nineties every day with humidity. But it is starting to change in to winter here. It's not at all like a Colorado winter though. The other night we were out at a cafe on the beach having coffee and someone told me it was about as cold as it gets around here. It was about 65 degrees! Ha ha ha! It's funny though, after adjusting to the warmer temperatures it really DID feel chilly.

The beaches here are gorgeous. I have always loved the water and I am really in love with the ocean. White sand and blue water is only a 12 minute drive from our house. Some guys are going to teach me to surf and I am really excited about it. I just have to be careful every time I go out because I am still pretty white. My tan gets better everyday though.

We can't wait for all our stuff to arrive and it looks like it will be here around the first week in May. It will be like Christmas to open all the boxes and get out our stuff. So much of it was practically brand new any way and we can't wait to get our house all set up.

I will post more often now and I also have the ability to put pictures on here so I will put some up tomorrow. I would do it today but I left the cable at home. Oops! ha ha. Talk to you again soon!
