Interesting Happenings


Last week TV had an interview, so dressing quite dapper with his leather attache and suit, he was off.

A few days later we hear back that the interview went quite well and a job was on offer. The job is as a Transport Planner with Parssons Brinckerhoff, or PB as they like to be known. They are a consulting firm and are quite busy doing all sorts of infrastructure projects all over NSW, and the world.
Here is their website: http://www.pb.com.au/ if anyone is curious. The job starts on May 1st in a part time capacity and will go to full time after graduation. The office is on the 27th floor in the Sydney CBD (downtown) with a great view of the city. We can actually see our house from there. No joke. Meanwhile school is going well for both of us. TV just found out that he made the dean's list for his first semester, while KT has performed several births all on her own, along with learning tons about all aspects of birthing. See you all soon.

Answer to the last poll: When someone says to you they need to "see a man about a dog", it means they must go to the bathroom.

Flugtag Video

Enjoy the small bit of goofyness that is the Flugtag.

Matteo's Visit
















So our good friend Mateo (Matt) came for a brief visit before exploring other parts of Australia. We had a good time catching up, and drinking beer. Mateo got to see all of the iconic Sydney sights, but we all went to see the first Australian Flugtag. Rather than posting more photos of the Opera House here are some from the Fulgtag instead. Okay, so you can't go to Sydney and not have any Opera House or Harbour Bridge photos. There were tons of people having a good time despite the early showers. We too had a good time watching getting wet and silly. Of course we also had a friendly meet and greet at the Landsdowne so Mateo could meet the Aussie posse. As always a good time had by all.

Poll Answer

The answer to the last poll was car accident. As in: I just got into a bingle with that kangaroo.

Jenolan Caves










We had a chance to get away from Sydney for a day recently. It was a great day, with no clouds so we decided to head up to the Blue Mountains. This was the third attempt for KT to see the Three Sisters rock formation. The previous two times it was so foggy that we couldn't see more than 20 feet in front of us. This time, however, she managed to see it, and better yet we have photographic proof. After this we continued on to Jenolan Caves to see how they looked. The caves and river were spectacular. There are several different caves within the system that have their own paths. Here are a few photos of some of the formations within one of the subsystems. The broken column is one of the more famous formations there. We apologize for the photos being a bit blurry, but we didn't have a tripod with us, as we forgot it. The ladder in one of the photos used to be how people went out of the cave. A bit precarious, but could have been fun in a death defying sort of way. Please do excuse the helmet hair, but do notice the curtain formation in the background of the last photo. Until next time folks, take care.

What's a happening

Last week marked the beginning of school for TV and KT's classes also got into full swing. KT is settling down now into working and studying the different areas of midwifery. TV spent most of last week in lecture, and trying to figure out what the real class schedule will be. There were about 24 classes schedule and out of those 20 changed due to some unknown University shenanigans. We apologize if we don't update this site as often, but we won't have as many opportunities to venture out, we will instead focus on learning. Later gators!
