busy in brisbane

i know. . . it's been a while since i've updated! we have been busy trying to "settle" in Brisbane and recovering from the culture shock of city life! . . .job hunting took up most of our time and finally, we both have jobs. . .praise the Lord!!! Rob is going through a temporary job agency and he's landed some jobs in the construction area. . .one never knows how long the job will last, but there's usually always something available. . .so he's been busy with that type of work. . .i had a bit more of a challenging time trying to find a job since we are only here for one month. . .most people are hiring right now for the christmas season. . .and well, i won't be here that long. . .sooooo. . .i settled for who would offer me work. . .so for the next month, i am . . .(drrrum roll, please. . .) a telemarketer!!! haa haa. . .i know. . .we all are so kind to telemarketers when they call. . .and honestly. . .it is a challenging job!!! yikes! the company collaborates with various businesses to sell different things. . currently we are selling gift certificate booklets. . .haa haa :) . . i can't help but laugh. . .ah well. . it's a job and i'm happy to have it. . .just pray that i keep selling enough to keep the job! they will fire you if you don't sell any products!. . .yikes! yesterday, i was tempted to try my Australian accent in hopes of more sales. . but after a quick practise, decided that i just might get fired for doing that. . haa haa. . so i put on my best Canadian accent and tackled the phone list! thanks to everyone who is keeping us your prayers! we totally appreciate your thoughts! we haven't had the chance to sightsee much, but here are a few Brisbane sights. . .


Rob's dream come true. . .a do-it-yourself order station at his favourite eatery. . .Subway! :)



the city of Brisbane is divided by a river . . .it makes a beautiful walking path. . .



the city hall/museum of Brisbane. . .there's at least a couple buildings in the city with clocks. . .you always know what the time is!



gorgeous full moon over the city park. . .
