So, just wanted to let you know that we found a home. Ahhhh, it will be nice to not live out of a suitcase! And to be able to put up some pictures! I need some family/friend pictures! It wasn't our first pick but it's good. The area is called Teneriffe and it's really quite nice. It's kind of like it's only little village with character so we like that. Basically you have 3 choices for living in Brisbane. 1/ apartment high rise 2/queenslander (like a summer cottage) 3/ small apartment complex/townhouse style.
We wanted the third option. Just a small apartment complex, a couple of floors, not many apartments....that type thing. These are usually quite new and have big balconies. So, it's good for us. It will take getting used to as we were used to our own house, but I'm sure we'll survive!
Teneriffe is a good location for Darryl's office. It's about a 15minute walk. But, it's a bit further to downtown. Probably about a 40minute walk. We may buy some bikes later on but not looking into that quite yet!
Now we just need to buy stuff for the new home!!! We started buying the basics already but we need the big things - like beds! So, that's what we'll be doing for the next 2 weeks. We are moving in around March 26-30. We'll take some pictures when we're all settled in!

Congratulations!!! That must be very exciting. I can't wait to see some pics. How is the weather? Is it getting towards fall now? In Montreal it is still "Christmas", We had an enormous storm over the past weekend another 30-ish cm....O well, it is only March.
We miss you so much guys!!! Can't wait to hear more news.
Everything is good here, we are healthy and happy. Helena and Nina talk about Shamus and Breagha often.
We'll be in touch. Take care and talk to you soon,

Congrats on your new home! I'll call soon--I promise! Miss you all. Hugs and kisses.

I'm glad you found something to your liking. Tenneriffe is really nice I find. The bakery (Sol Bread) is good.
For beds, we bought our beds at Forty Winks in the Homemaker thing next to the Emporium in the Valley (between Ann and Wickham). They were very good about delivering on time and also negotiating on price.
For appliances, Queensland Used Appliances sells affordable factory seconds (dented, scratched). They are on 616 Wickham, http://www.qua.com.au/ . We bought the fridge and washer for our appartment there and are very happy with them.
Have fun moving!
