Our First Week in Aussie Land!!

---

Hey everyone!!! So we've completed our first week in Australia. We arrived last wednesday, and are currently staying with Rohan and Leanne (Leanne is Trent's cousin.) The past week has been kind of a whirlwind! We've made numerous trips in to the city (right now we're about an hour outside of Melbourne city,) to find a place to live, go shopping, and visit with Trent's sister, Karyn. Karyn is wonderful and so knowledgeable about Melbourne, so she helped us in our search for a home.

We found a place to live in Port Melbourne. Its a 2nd story apartment with a pool, but it's great because we have our own entrance, and underground parking. We signed the lease yesterday and we're both SUPER EXCITED!! We went after we signed the lease and bought a fridge, washer, dryer, microwave, and bed. It feels so nice to finally have our own place. We move in this coming Tuesday and can't wait! Right now, Trent is at a car race about 10 hrs from here with Rohan, so Leanne and I are doing some shopping and getting some things done. He'll be back Monday morning.

Once we have pictures of our new place I'll be sure to post them!!!

Ashley & Trent
