Chinchi

Well I have finally done it! After over 2 years of thinking about it, 2 months of planning for it and about 2 hours packing for it, I have moved to the country town of Chinchilla. A cool 3 1/2 hours from Brisbane (I timed it today) gets me to my new home. I have my two grocery stores, IGA and FoodWorks. FoodWorks is nicer, IGA is cheaper. I am planning on splitting my shopping between the two. I was supposed to check out the town today, including the pool, the shoe store (cuz I met the owner at church last week) and in general ge to know the place better. But I came back to my old home so I could me my gorgeous sister as she comes out of the international terminal after many weeks away from home. I like my new home. I like the air conditioning in my room, I like my house mates at the quarters, I like my colleagues at work and I like the church I visited. I like seeing about 3 people I know everytime I go grocery shopping and randomly running into old friends in the street. I like people being friendly and knowing my name before I've met them and I like living this new experience because it is stretching who I am.
