I'd Like To Introduce Myself!

[deanna712]

Hello everyone! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':Idea:' />



I would like to introduce myself. My name is Deanna and I'm new to Australia.

I come from Bettendorf, Iowa (...where it is already getting cold... <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/kosa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':gathering:' /> ) and have been in Australia since August 18th. I am here because my husband was promoted and relocated with his employer.

Together, we have three children, two of whom are with us here. Our oldest daughter, Jess, is still in Iowa as she started college in the fall. Our middle is our son, Sam who is 13. Our youngest daughter, Jadwin is 11. They are adjusting quite well. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':laugh:' />



So, I don't live in Melbourne. We live in Torquay and absolutely love it here. I have been to Melbourne several times and am excited to get to the City more. I worked at home in Iowa, but am not working here. I love hearing all about Australia and am so excited to explore this country. We will be here for three years at least. I'm hoping to make some new friends with this (and a few other) forums and am anxious to chat.



I hope to meet some new folks soon!
