Reed All About It: Update Time

As time has been ticking by, we have been accumulating updates about our relocation to the land of Oz. We've got a batch together, so it's time to share.

To date, I have:

An Australian medical license.
A job: Senior Medical Officer at Capricorn Coast Hospital, essentially an employee of Queensland Health.
Outlined supervision: Almost all physicians, especially those new to the country, are supervised to some degree. The level must be determined and approved by the government. That process has been the main delaying factor. But, it's done! Check!
A physical exam. Required for my Visa. I think I passed.

We as a family have:

Passports
A home. Three bedroom flat literally across the street from the beach! Walking distance to the elementary school.
Australian bank account.
Australian health insurance. One-tenth the cost of our insurance here in the states!

What's left:

Visas. Should be any day now. Waiting on my physical exam results, and then they should be issued.
Plane tickets. To be purchased once our visas are issued.

So, that's quite an update!
Expected departure...Drumroll...
December 15th. Ish.
That's right, less than a month! And in the meantime, what have we been doing?
Packing. Homeschool. Packing. Homeschool. Packing. Homeschool.
So, on a day that's 32 degrees and misting outside, it helps to know that right now in Yeppoon, we have a home across the street from the beach, where the high today is 96.
And now I'll share some pictures from how we've been spending our last little bit here in the U.S.
