It's a small world...and other fun news

In many aspects it's always exciting but sometimes challenging moving to a new place. At this point we've pretty much got the routine down: find a place to live, wait for our stuff to arrive from overseas, unpack and settle in, start your everyday routine. Leaving all the comforts of your last home and making new friends just come with the territory. So my long-time friend Shannon- who I've known since I was 14 years old, lived in Switzerland for about 4-years (I think!) working as an accountant. She knows how it is trying to adjust to living abroad so she kindly emailed her friend Kim, whom she met and became good friends with in Switzerland. She had me on copy and gave the two of us an introduction. Kim is from Sydney and has since moved back here so Kim and I got to meet for lunch in Manly Beach on Thursday! It was fun to meet her as we have a lot in common so- thanks Shannon! Oh ya, Shannon also happens to now live in Walla Walla where Kevin's family resides. I promised Shannon we would finally get together this September when Kevin and I are back there to visit.

The next day Kevin and I signed a lease on an apartment! YAY! We were so excited to know that this weekend we didn't have to attend a bunch of open houses. We were hoping to find a house but this apartment will do for now. It seems like a pretty nice complex with a pool, tennis court, a gym AND it's a 10-minute walk to work for Kevin. BONUS! The lease is for 6-months so as we get to know Sydney a little better we may decide to look for another place but who knows... we may end up staying put. Only time will tell. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend. 

xoxo, 

Amy and Kevin
