Hey everyone!  I had a really good first weekend in Australia.  Friday night I went to dinner then to a local pub for a couple drinks.  Saturday I played my first round of golf.  It was very, very windy but I got to learn how fast Melbourne weather can change.  It would go from sunny, to raining sideways, to sunny again in a matter of minutes.  This happened about 3 or 4 times during my round of golf.  Saturday afternoon, I went to another local pub to watch the Grand Final of the Australian Rules Football League (their Super Bowl).  Today so far, I got up early to watch the Clemson game and just finished watching the UGA vs LSU game.  Not sure what the rest of the day holds after I go to church, but I'll probably stay close to my apartment and run some errands.  Tomorrow unfortunately I have to start work!  Love and Miss you all!  Talk to you soon.

I have made it safe and sound to Melbourne with only a two hour delay in Sydney and two lost bags.  I needed to swing by the office to pick up my temporary vehicle and have just settled in before heading for some lunch and coffee. The last four days was very difficult saying goodbye to all my wonderful friends.  I left a ton of good people back in the states and I miss you all very much.  I can’t wait for our paths to cross again, but it won’t be soon enough for me.  I really can’t tell you how much I love you all or how blest I feel to have known you and having my life impacted by you.  I wish you all the best, will be praying for you all, and hope to see you in Australia.  I'll try to keep this website updated as much as possible and post photo galleries whenever I can.  Hopefully the interactive Calendar will be up and running soon.  Again, I love and Miss you all.  See you soon in OZ!
