It's Ashley again, just updating you about post-Christmas festivities!
First of all, Adam and I celebrated our second anniversary on the 29th! We decided to celebrate it on the 28th because our anniversary landed on a Sunday this year. We had the whole day planned out and...everything went wrong! We wanted to go to the Mt. Timpanogas temple (the Provo temple is closed for renovations) but it was SUPER busy! There were brides everywhere and they said that they were only doing certain ordinances and those that they were doing were really full. So we decided that we would have to delay our temple trip. We also had planned to go up to Salt Lake City to go around downtown and then eat at the Melting Pot. When we got there, traffic and parking were terrible but we finally found a spot. Then we walked four blocks to the restaurant but they said that the next table they could get us was at 9:30 pm!! So we tried another restaurant nearby and it had a line out the door. So we gave up and went back to Provo. We called Olive Garden but they were pretty busy, so we decided to go to Brick Oven which actually turned out well! Too bad we had to waste the gas to travel to SLC but at least we were able to have dinner together at a place a bit nicer than Taco Bell haha :) On our actual anniversary, we spent the evening looking at videos and slideshows from our wedding and then skyping with Adam's sister Sharon and her family which was great :) Although our anniversary had a very rough start, at least it ended well :)
So for New Year's, we had a sleepover and Harry Potter marathon with our friends Steven and Kayla. It has been awesome living right by them which allows for more fun stuff like this. We got lots of junk food and played games and watched Harry Potter all night! A few of us dropped off to sleep (I was the first...) but then we continued watching the rest during New Year's Day :) We made it through all but Deathly Hallows Part 2 which we watched last night. So close! But we just got too tired. It was fun though :)
Yesterday we decided to take some pictures with Steven and Kayla at a park just for fun :) Here are some of the results:
Also, today was Adam's last day working as a teaching assistant for BYU Online :( It is too bad that he won't be able to stay on but hopefully he'll be able to find another job soon. He has already applied to quite a few places and plans to apply to more until he finds something. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers so that he may find a job soon! I will be starting school next week and taking only two classes. I will be taking Clinical Psychology and Stress Psychobiology. Then, I graduate! Hooray!!!
We love you all and hope you all have a wonderful beginning to 2014!
<3 Ashley
