Our internet and cable have been down this whole week. Yesterday I waited for 12 hours for the cable guy to show...he never did. After an interesting phone call to the cable company this morning, the cable and internet are now up and running. While I'm typing this blog, the Rhythmic Gymnastics for the Summer Olympics are on in the background. Apparently they've just begun the ribbon twirling competition??
James starts school on Monday, and I begin my new job as a pre-school teacher. I'm expecting that the pre-schoolers will be better behaved than my sixth graders. I'm also expecting that law school will be a whole new world for James.
We have had a very exciting week. Before we became "residents" of NJ, we figured we had a week to still be tourists, and the Statue of Liberty was our destination. Besides the soot on our clothes from the belching smoke stack on our ferry, the trip was just what we needed to remember how blessed we are. Back in Newark, orientation began at the law school. Our apartment building is filled with other law students, and it's almost like being back in the dorms. We have made friends with two different sets of people who live on floors 29 and 30, and both have balconies with gorgeous views. We even made an appearance at the bowling alley, located in the basement of our building. James is making friends, and has already started his readings for class. (I have to admit, it makes me want to go back to school!)
Our apartment is slowly becoming furnished! In the center of it all is our new IKEA red couch (James picked it out!) Things really are getting better one week at a time.

Elise that is so cool that you have a blog!!! I can't believe that you live in NJ. Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun!! Have you started you preschool job yet? Do you mind if I add you to my blog?
Talk to you later,
Heather
You two really are living the dream! I'm glad to see you getting settled in. I look forward to hearing about all the cool stuff and the interesting tales you'll have living in an actual metropolis. I'm comfortable in my jealousy. Preschoolers, though, caramba! That will be quite the switch. They are such little people.
