A couple in transition

Hello all!

We are very much in a transitive state, as we are in the process of leaving our relatively awesome hostel and rooming with some friends in Australia, with the hopes that our application for our new apartment will go through with no problems. We plan to make the offer tomorrow, and hopefully we could be moved in by the weekend! This whole week has been spent at a frantic pace trying desperately to arrange lodging for this canuck couple. Finally, after seeing nearly 10 units, most of which were basically ghetto fabulous without the fabulous, I had to run full sprint about 1.5km to make our last appointment of the day to see this great apartment. It's a great location and not too far away from Uncle Errik! Here's hoping for the best!

Last weekend the sun was shining, so we decided to head out to Lone Pine Koala reserve and try our hands at cuddling some adorable koalas! You can view our official photo here - http://i.koala.net/1804121485.htm - and just to assuage your concerns, Andrea did let me hold the Koala after this photo. I basically had to pull her claws away from the cute little guy who is seven and named, Gandalf, of all things. :) We also walked amongst, and petted, many other animals including KANGAROOS and wallabies! Very cool stuff.

Well, posts may be a bit haggard for the next week or so. Hopefully we can arrange this apartment without a hitch, and then arrange internet, furniture, cutlery, moving Uncle Errik's fridge to the new place, a bed...but after that we've decided to indulge ourselves with a week at the Gold Coast before I have to start work for the Queensland Government...for free. :)

Andrea says to start packing your bags for a visit, as basically every place here has 2 bedrooms, and this place we like has 2 as well. Though, I'm sure you'll come and visit just as soon as she writes a post on blogger. :)
