The People You Meet

So it's been quite some time now but it's a typical finals week in this apartment for the two of us. Newel is done and now a college grad! Caps off to him! I still have one final to take tomorrow and then I have a week break before I dive into it again! (We're watching diving right now so yes Camie I believe that is a pun!)

So some fun topics that have come up here in Connecticut. You meet some really nice/crazy people walking down the street, it's quite fun! I was walking down the street and this girl pointed me up and down and told me I look so cute today! SO NICE! Another lady wanted to sit and gawk at some police men arresting this lady at the mall with me. People here love them some arresting! Another man quickly stuck out his arm and said, "Beautiful Day!" A security guard clapped and said, "Beautiful smile!" After I responded to his question, "Hi how are you?" I talked to a women walking home from Target who, "broke my (her) foot in the middle of the night when it was dead silent and all of a sudden you heard a scream." My favorite occurrence was with Katie. After being whistled at for the 5 minutes it took us to cross the street we finally got away from a scary group of men hooting and hollering. Then seconds later down the street someone whistled again from their car and Katie says, "oh my gosh I just want to flip them off so bad!" It definitely keeps the walking interesting. In Newel's words he would say I've made a lot of best friends, because he thinks every time someone tells me how cute I am they become my best friend which is kind of true I guess.

The only interesting thing this week was lunch and antique shopping with Katie yesterday! They have a street about 10 minutes away with about 6 antique shops. The antique shops are crazy here! You could never actually buy anything, unless you want to fork out $300 for a throw pillow. But it was incredible, lots of rooms with huge, beautiful furniture. If I were rich I'd make a special trip here and buy everything to decorate my house! We also stopped and got donuts, they are huge here! There are dunkin doughnuts everywhere! As well as walked to a really pretty church.

Just a few more fun details. We had cleaners come and clean the apartment yesterday. It comes with living here. Let me tell you it was quite weird being on the other end of the cleaning. I felt like I should stay and clean with them! But it was so nice to have them come, now I understand why people just tell us over and over that they are so happy we are there! I went to lunch with Newel today. It's always fun to see him in the middle of the day when I usually don't get to! Then I thought, everyone should get the lucky opportunity to see Newel's badge. Newel is always so handsome and photogenic but this was taken quite off guard. My cute honey!

It's a New York weekend again! We're staying in the Hampton right next to Seaport and we're going to do a session tomorrow! It should be lots of fun!
