Days: 5, 6, 7, & 8

Sorry I was a slacker this weekend!  It was so busy!  We went to Jeff's parents house for the weekend and spent a lot of time with his family.  His brother and soon to be wife came up and we hung out with them, as well as his other brother and his wife and their 18 month old.  I don't have pictures to post yet (Jeff took the camera to work) but I will be sure to do that tonight or tomorrow!  


For now I am working on classroom stuff (YAY) and just hanging out!  I am so grateful for Netflix and the fact that they just added Dawson's Creek!  I love the 90's!

Day 4: Downtown Greenwich

Day 4:  You hear "Downtown Greenwich" and think cute little downtown with boutique shops and restaurants, right?  Well, that's what I thought, but I was oh so wrong.  Downtown Greenwich is a mini Madison Ave. or 5th Ave in Manhattan.  Let me show you what I mean.  

 These are the stores you find on the quaint little street, Greenwich ave.  I mean everyone can afford a stop at Tiffany & Co., right?  WRONG!  

  And these are the buildings.... old and beautiful! 
Those are the only pictures I got.  I was in a rush, in and out of CVS pharmacy (well, after 30 mins of looks for dramamine, with no help with the RUDE employees, might I add.)  Jeff is going fishing tonight, (with his boss, he totally felt pressured, so I got a promise of a pedicure because he felt bad leaving me!) so I might take advantage of the car again and go find the beach!  
Well, that's all for now!  

Day 3: Anniversary Overview

Day 3:  As yesterday was our anniversary, Jeff's mom let us borrow her car for the week so we could go out on a date.  We took advantage of that and headed out to White Plains, NY, which is about 20 minutes from us.  It was a crazy drive though!  NYC traffic is not only in NYC, if you know what I mean!  We were headed for the Cheesecake Factory, but never found it so we ended up at P.F. Changs's.  

 The real reason to go to P.F. Chang's.... the Great Wall of Chocolate!! SO GOOD!!!!!!!

And now on to the rest of my day... reading "The Book Thief."  Just bought it and I am so excited to start!

Day 2: Wedded Bliss

Day 2:  Today marks our 2 year anniversary!  Can you believe it?  It's been 2 years!  

 And it's been 6 years (almost) since we met and became friends in Logan!  I am so glad I chose to attend USU and had the opportunity to meet my wonderful husband Jeff! I love you!

Adventures on Greenwich: Day 1

Day 1:  I am going to try (key word being try) to blog everyday while here in  

Greenwich Connecticut.  This is going to be an adventure in our lives and I want to remember every moment of it!  We got here late last night (after my 4 hour red eye flight, and 3 hours in the car) and it is just as small as Jeff said it was.  Here are a few pictures to help you understand what we mean when we say "studio apartment".

View from the front door to the left.  There is not much storage, that is why it looks messy.  That is going to drive me nuts.  Oh, and the TV is there just for looks.  It is not connected to anything!  Oh and the bed is in the corner.  It's a full, which is pretty small for Jeff and I.  But we survived our first night there!

 View from the front door straight ahead (kitchen and bathroom).  As you can see, there is no oven.  The white door under the stove/sink is our fridge!  It's tiny! Hopefully that will aide in our weight-loss goals :) 

 Front door... yep, it's that small, but at least it is cute!

View from the front door (at least it is gorgeous out the windows!)

The apartment is attached to the facility managers house, and they asked us over for dinner tonight, so that should be fun.  For those of you who don't know, Jeff is doing an internship here as a facility manager at Greenwich Academy, an all girls private school.  A few things to put into perspective how rich this neighborhood is: the preschool tuition for the school is about $30,000 a year, and Kathy Lee Gifford's daughters go to school here.  As soon as we go on our first bike ride around the neighborhood, I will post pictures of the homes.  They are huge and gorgeous!   

We have no car, and a tiny fridge, it's going to be an adventure!

YAY

Even though I am sure everyone on here reads my Facebook.... I GOT AN INTERNSHIP!  I will be teaching at Cherry Creek Elementary next year.  I don't know the grade yet but I am so excited!

Now where to eat out for the celebration?

Teacher

Hey people... sorry I stink at this!  I am updating again because I am apply for an internship and my interview is this Friday.  I need all of your prayers and advice!  :) I have never had a job interview for a "real job" before and I am super nervous!  Wish my luck, I will update how it goes!
Love,
Ashley
ps- I cut my hair.. it looks kinda like this... only a little shorter!  Yay... I now have a "teacher haircut" (at least that is what Jeff says).
