Hello Melbourne!

We have now been in Melbourne for nearly a week and things are starting to fall into place. After rushing to Melbourne to see this open house on Thursday, Stan and I secured a lease on the property the next day!  It must have been destiny because the house is AMAZING….and it is 10 minutes from the BEACH, the school is a dream come true (free public schools in Victoria compared to the $10,000 we would drop each year in New South Wales) and the ward is like a deja vu from America. 
I am in the same ward as a kid I went to high school with, from Bozeman Montana. Miles Scheere and his wife and three kids!  In addition, there are 6 other friends from my high school graduating class who live in Melbourne, Australia and are all willing to help me move my family in and hang out with me! I couldn't be happier, these people are all people I was pretty good friends with; and so for the first time since being in Australia, I am starting to think it just wouldn't be better in America! I am living in paradise and surrounded by friends! 2012 is going to be a good year!

Oh man, that all sounds amazing! You house is killer and I'm so jealous that you get to be so close to the beach!!! Andrew loved Sydney- I have to post some pics. The man who hosted the meeting knows you and Stan. His wife was at a dinner one night and asked Andrew if he knew anyone in Sydney. He said yes, but they just moved and she drew the connection to you guys! They have a son who was in the same preschool as Thomas.
