The blog has been very quiet this month because it has been relatively crazy for us. We finished school and I have been working as many shifts as I can, while Kurtis is still looking for work. He has applied for over 150 jobs. We then went on our Red Centre Tour which was amazing. We met some rad people, slept in tents in 3C weather, didn't get a lot of sleep and saw tons of amazing stuff.
Here are some of the photos from our vacation:

Sadly, school started yesterday, so we are back on the grind. Kurtis may have a job at a pizza store, but he finds out this weekend. And our apartment from hell (mainly our dishwasher, but also our bathroom fan and pipes) continue to make our lives interesting and non-relaxing. Our TV has also been shutting off by itself and to turn it back on, we have to unplug it and plug it in again. Every time it shuts off we worry that it is the time it dies. What more can you expect from a TV that was being thrown out. Only 147 more days until I am living back at home, not having to do laundry, no grocery shopping, no house maintenance and no more washing machine from hell!
Australian word of the day: "Capsicum" - just means red or green pepper, but it sounds really funny and you come across this word more often than you would think. For example, when you are ordering a sub at Subway, they ask you if you want capsicum on your sub. Also, when watching "Ready, Steady, Cook" here, there is the tomato team and the capsicum team. It is really handy to know this word if you are ever planning on travelling to Australia.
