Quick Life Update

We have been posting a lot about all of our weekend adventures, but we haven't said too much recently about daily life. Here is a quick life update:

- I got a job! It was much easier than I thought it would be. I applied online on a Monday, had an interview on Friday, and was offered a position on the next Tuesday. I will be working at a place called Calvary College Grove Rehabilitation Hospital. Long name, huh? I am excited because I really enjoy working in inpatient rehab. On Monday I go in for an all day orientation. I really hate those! You sit all day and listen to boring information and try not to fall asleep. I am already dreading going back to Baylors when I get back to Dallas! At least I will be getting paid! As I find out more I will let everyone know. I don't have an official start date yet because I am waiting to get registered with South Australia. I do know I will be working mostly four days a week (totally awesome!) and when people go on maternity leave and holiday, I will go full time. I am what is called a casual worker.

-Our apartment is officially the craziest apartment ever. So everyone knows about the cupboard door falling off, well now we have a leak in the wall that is soaking our carpet in the bedroom. We are having plumbers come out next week to take a look at it. Pretty much to fix it they have to cut a hole in the wall of our bedroom to find the leak, then fix it, then patch up the hole. The have asked us to move out of our room into the guest room because it is going to be messy! Crazy! They still haven't fixed the cupboard yet either! I just hope that everything goes smoothly and they can fix it in a reasonable amount of time. Who knew living in a brand new apartment could cause so much stress! At least we don't have to pay for any of this!

-Other than that life in Australia is beginning to settle down. We have our weekly routine and our weekend routine. It will be nice once I have my job. We are running three days a week and are going to run in a 12K race in September. We have been cooking dinner for ourselves every night. Everything here shuts down at 5:30, so some nights, as sad as this sounds, we go to Woolworths to hang out because it is open until 9:00. This Saturday Justin is going to be doing a service project with the men of our church and then hopefully we will be hanging out with some of our church friends. Sunday we are going to Morialta! Bushwalking here we come!

Okay, that wasn't too quick of an update, but oh well!
