Our Apartment

I have finally posted our apartment pictures! The whole apartment has a pretty modern feel which isn't necessarily the Claybrook style but it is is a place to call home! I posted yesterday we were getting a washer and dryer delivered, but that is on hiatus because we need our 457 visa in our hands to be able to rent from the rental place! So, we ventured to the laundry mat last night to do our laundry. It is expensive! It will be nice once we are able to get our own washer and dryer. Oh, and we are going to rent a microwave as well. I had no idea how much I used one until I don't have one! Also this week we should be receiving our Internet card in the mail so we can have Internet in our house! Yay! Then we can use skype and I don't have to come to the library everyday! I think that is about it for here! Also, to those of you in our community group thank you so much for making Daniel feel welcomed to Dallas! I am sure he really appreciates it! We miss everyone!

This is the guest bedroom/office. It has two pieces of furniture. This lovely desk and robe (closet). When guests come you will get a very comfortable air mattress to sleep on.

This is our bedroom. It also has only two pieces of furniture. Our bed and the robe. Thank you Lauren and Graeme from our church who provided us with a bed, sheets, and a comforter (or duna as they call them here)

Our fancy sink in the bathroom. We have a fancy shower too, but I didn't take a picture. Oh, and the toilet has its own little room which is very common here.

Our kitchen! This is where all our gourmet cooking happens!

A view from the living room into the kitchen and our little dining room table.

Our living room! Fully furnished thanks to Lauren and Graeme from church! Just a side note here. Cable in Australia is something new, so most people only have five channels. We have decided to live like true Australians and just plug in our TV and use a co-axial cable and get our five channels fuzz free! The channels actually aren't too bad and the best part is that it is free!!

One more side note: Lauren and Graeme are people we met bowling our first week being here and they have befriended us! They have truly blessed us by letting us borrow pretty much all the furniture in our apartment. The own five lolly shops (candy stores) in the city. One of them even specializes in American candy, including Hershey bars, Reeses, and Pop Tarts. The even sell a 24 case of Dr. Pepper for $65! Can you believe it! Also, Justin's boss and his wife has also provided us with lots of stuff for our apartment too including the TV. So God has put people in our lives here to take care of us! We are thankful!
