One week in Australia

Well I can't believe that I have been here a week. Things have been so busy and it doesn't yet feel normal. Who knows when or if it ever will? Tomorrow will be another busy day... bank, look at a place to rent, doctor visit for me, drivers license bureau, etc. Can't believe I don't have to take a practical exam for that one. Seems a bit scary to let us crazy foreigners drive in this country without proving our worthiness. I can't decide if I should even study the book or not. Hopefully I pass. Went to church today. It's funny how such small things are so different. The chapel is partially outdoors- like three wings surrounding an outdoor courtyard. There was a Gynormous (spelling? Austin's word) spider just outside the window as we sat in sacrament. Jill would have passed out even on the opposite side of the glass. Jared said he thought it was waiting for a bird to fly into its web. Anyway, after church today we went to the hospital where I will deliver this poor unnamed child in my womb. They pretty much all have midwives deliver. I don't know yet how that works during the actual delivery... if there is a Dr. there or what. Guess I will find out soon enough. Still don't know what this baby will be named. I don't get a feel for anything. I hope that doesn't mean we're going to be surprised by a boy. You never know.

Hey Robon,

I'm so excited that you started a blog, I'm loving all this family blog business. I'm not comfortable at all with the thought of a spider big enough to be waiting for birds to land in its web--will you be able to go back to church? I would waver. As far as baby names go, I saw one at church today that I can't believe we've overlooked. What do you think about Trynidee? Give it a whirl. Ha.
