Our Temporary Digs

Friday, August 2, 2013 (The dates here in Australia don't always match up with the Blogger website! It's that tricky international dateline!)

Until our household goods arrive (hopefully in September) we are staying in the Burbury Hotel apartments.  Our temporary digs are only about 5 minutes from the nation's capitol building.  The apartment is large and open which is perfect for the kids.  The only real complaint I have is that it's all white.  And very modern.  So, for me it seems very sterile.  I look forward to getting our household goods and setting up our homey home.  We are about 10 minutes from the US Embassy, about 10 minutes away from Erich's work, and 35 minutes from the kids school.  (Their school is less then 2 km from our house) 

 

The kitchen and dining area.  The lighting isn't good in the
kitchen and I had to bring in a floor lamp. 

Our living room is open to the dining area. 

The other half of the living room.

There are two bedrooms just like this.  The master has a bathroom and the
other bathroom is in the hallway.  There is also a laundry room with a washer and dryer. 

This is the patio right off of our living room.  It is completely fenced
off so I will let the kids play out there during the day.
 

I can't believe we have already been here a week!  We are getting pretty settled in the apartment. 

Today was the kids' second day of school.  Drop off went really well!  We did not go in for morning prayer.

Today I'm driving out to the kids' school by myself to pick them up.  Let me repeat.  I am driving by myself for the first time.  I'm a little nervous.  Especially since its a 35 minute drive with a lot of turns.  Thank goodness for the GPS.  I'll let you know how it goes!
