After Sydney, on to my second home....

After 5 days in Sydney, we hoped on a plane and headed for the Sunshine Coast.  This is my home away from home.  I lived here before when I studied abroad in College.  It's been an adjustment getting settled, finding a house and car.  I quickly found a place to live, but the car took a little bit longer to find.  It's not easy to find a cheap automatic car that doesn't look like it will completely fall apart driving down the road.  Here is my house and car.

It's nothing fancy, but it will get me around.  Also the first week we were here we climbed Mount Coolum.  I have wanted to climb it for years and I've frequently asked every time I've came back to Australia and never had the opportunity to do it.  I soon realized why as I was try to catch my breath and continue to put one foot in front of the other.  Here is how I looked at the very top.

After I caught my breath, we stopped for a nice photo.  This is Lori and I with my friend Muzz.

But we're still having a great time.  I've found a church that I enjoy and have met a few people there.  I'll be joining a homegroup next week, which I'm really looking forward to; meeting different people, building friendships, and talking about God, it will just be so great!!
