25 October, 2018: Team Taylor - Settling In

Image
Team Taylor - Settling In Picking up where I left off, about a month ago. Since then, we have been busy settling in to our new home, as well as playing tourist - and doing loads of six year old friendly stuff.. Nope - we haven't even made it to a bar yet :) (note to self - find babysitter soon)! I'll tell the story in pictures - it is far more interesting that way. Our freight arrived after we had only been in our unit for a couple of weeks - which was great because all four of us camping on the blow up mattresses was getting old, fast! Juz did an amazing job of getting everything unpacked in about four days. I did have to help with the kitchen stuff..... wow - I really had far too much stuff! So another clean out and we were all set. New furniture, excepting our beds which we shipped over. Vegas ruling the roost - as usual. Harlin's got a nice big room and finally has a bog boy desk. Whilst the unit is a tad dated on the inside, it's got some lovely features, is ...

28 September, 2018: Team Taylor - A Month In

Team Taylor - A Month In Yesterday marked four weeks since we landed in the US - of course, it feels like months. And what a four weeks it has been! Per my last post, we were lucky enough to find the perfect apartment for what we need, in a great location. Last weekend we 'moved' in - setting up the various bits of furniture we needed to buy.

Team Taylor Hits the US 16 August, 2018. We landed in the US for the next chapter in our life adventure. This blog is as much for us to keep a little memory of what goes on - as much as it is to keep those of you updated, if you're interested :). Warning - this first entry may be a tad boring as we racap the first two weeks of 'getting set up' in the US of A. After a (to say the least) hectic final week in Sydney - we jetted off with as much luggage as we could manage. Landing in San Francisco in the morning, we managed to get to San Jose, pick up our hire car, open a bank account, get Juz a phone and grab some groceries all by 800pm. By the time we made it to the bank, Harlin was wrecked and slept on the couch for 90 mins....                                                                         ...
