Finally Some Pictures!

I have been in Canberra now for 4 months, wow! Brent and I have settled in well, though we are still waiting for our boxes to arrive. They have made it to Australia, but are still sitting somewhere awaiting final clearance from customs and quarantine. Hopefully it will arrive soon.

I have started a new placement for my job, and though I really enjoyed working in the Legal division, I am excited for this new area. I will be putting my MBA to use as I work on a project of change management dealing with integration and consolidation of processes of the 3 Acts under with the Department operates. I know, don't all be instantly jealous at that! It is actually quite interesting to me and I am looking forward to getting things done.

We have been getting to know the city a bit better, though I can't wait until we eventually get a car, it really is a pain not having one! But we like to walk around and discover little shops and parks. Two weeks ago, we went to the Botanic Gardens and saw 13 "wild" kangaroos! Brent was really excited to see them as he had never seen them outside the zoo, and it had been a while for me too!


There isn't too much to update on, I work all week and we are rather boring on the weekends at the moment. It is hard to do much when the cash is super low! We have a cat so she keeps us entertained. Her name is Auska (pronounced "os-ka") and she is a tortoise shell. We got her from the RSPCA and she is about 3 months old now. She is a lot of fun and very affectionate. She loves the bath tub and sitting on your shoulder while you cook (in the picture). We love her!
