here we are!

I am fully aware that i haven't posted pics in a really long time... i am working on it.

Any way, we got into Chicago about two weeks ago... and it is FABULOUS! i heart this place! We are actually in Westmont.... so if Chicago was salt lake then we would be in Sandy, or Draper... (I think) Our apartment could not be farther away from everyone and everything in the complex..... its is quite the journey to get to the Garbage dump, the Pool, the mail room, and anything else i have to get too.... but its OK i still like it. Our apt over looks this golf course and we have some really cool neighbors beneath us. We actually went down a few nights ago and BBQ'ed with them. It was fun. Dallas is dong really really great with his job. he has sold 5 so far... which people tell me that is really good for his first summer, this early. We wake at like 8 or 9 and eat breakfast and hang out for a while, then he leaves at like 11:15ish then he gets home at like 10ish and that happens Monday- Saturday..... so as you might have guessed... i am very board for like 11 hours during the day (hence the longest post of my life) So, my house is spotless..... which i love and hate.... I try and make big messes for dinner so i have something to do the next day...HA! well i found the library, and so i started to read the Harry Potter books.... why not right? well i started on the first one, like a week and a half ago and guess what number i am starting today...... 5! yes i am starting number 5 today! i am not saying this as an accomplishment..... i think its kind of sad! well... i am not gonna lie i am kinda proud, that i finished the first four in 10 days.... well.... that's all that is really going on... hmmm.... oh yeah, since i am such a hermit crab, and a Harry Potter lush, i decided to start an in-home daycare.... we'll see how it works out. I will let you know! Thanks for reading about my life! Dallas always tells me "post something on that dumb blog thing." he wants everyone to know how were doing, but he doesn't want me to know that he thinks blogging is cool..... oh i know! Love you guys!

On our way!!!

So we left this morning for Chicago.... hmmmmm..... I am blogging at our hotel in Nebraska right now... and let me just say this place is FLAT!!! anyway let me start from yesterday morning... We woke up with our apartment looking just as it always did ever since we moved in (MESSY), and we got it all packed in one day (me= STRESS CASE) its OK, I got over it!! then we went to sleep at my Bro and sis-in-law's house out in Eagle mtn. We played monopoly (like we always do) and then we went to bed*******NEXT DAY******** 5:00 a.m. up and at em', ready to go and really tired!!! we left at about 7:30 8 ish, and Dallas and i get to drive another one of the sales guys cars out. its really nice its just Me, him and Kobe. any way that's all i have right now! i will post some pics later!!! BYE-BYE

So we have been talking about this job opportunity that has presented itself to us for the last little while and we have just made the decision to go.... We are going to move to Chicago for the summer and Dal is going to sell security systems..... it is really going to be a great thing... hopefully we can get some debt paid off and start heading in the right path.... It is a little scary, but i think we can manage. We are going out there with Bryce and Jamie's' friends, Ben and Jen... and it is going to be a blast!!! any way i will keep you posted on the dates and stuff when we leave and come back..... love you all!

Seattle!

Well Dallas and i got invited to go to Portland/Seattle two weeks ago!! It was amazing! Bryce and Jamie had to go up there for business, and invited us to go with them!!! we Left on Wednesday the 4Th, and drove for 12 hours up to Portland. We stayed at the Red Lion Hotel. Then on Thursday we walked around and sight saw most of the stuff in Portland, after we were done there we went a visited Jamie's Aunt and Uncle in Beverton!! that was cool Jamie doesn't see them very often.... Also it was so cool because they have two birds and one of them dances apparently..... So they turned up Ne-Yo and jammed hard core!! it was so awesome because they aren't the youngest people, but that didn't stop them from turning up the stereo to 75!!!! ha! Any way, after that we made the 3 hour drive up to Seattle!!! Our Hotel was called the Edge Water........ why?? because it was literally on the edge of the water, well actually it was on a Pier!!! WAY COOL! Then we spent the next two days walking around the markets and fruit stands, and museums, just taking in the city!!! On Saturday night we decided to go up to the space needle and have dinner, well the elevator up to the restaurant is about 600 feet tall then when your up there you can see the entire city and Bay, because the restaurant rotates all they way around, as you are sitting there eating!!! It is so crazy! after dinner Dallas and i were too tired to walk back to our hotel so we took a cab!! FUN! the next day we needed to be up at 6 to make the 14 hour drive home...... well when we woke up at 6 (well really 5 because of daylight savings (boohoo)) it had snowed and rained the night before so here we are in our little Toyota Carola trying to climb a mountain when the snow vehicles are spreading dirt and not salt!!! well...........we didn't make it! so we turned around and drove on the shoulder back to the Sea-Tac Airport and flew home!! wow, what an expensive trip!!! not for us..... but hey Bryce and Jamie.... you guys wait until we get rich!!!!! Needless to say, we had an amazing time!!! I loved Seattle, and i would love to live there!!!! but probably won't!!! :)

Dallas, Bryce and I decide to take advantage of the very cheap fruit and bread!! Yummy!!

We went to "Sport" a sports bar and spent five hours watching the Jazz game and various other games! (Not mine and Jamie's idea)

This is us eating dinner at a five star restaurant called the Space needle!! Nice shirt and mustache Jose!!!!

Jamie and Me at the top of the Space needle!

The view from the Top!!

Hmmmm............ what to do?!?

Well we have been going through a rough patch lately..... nothing we can't handle... but still rough! Well we got to thinking, and we decided to Look into the Air Force for Dallas to go into.... it is a really really great opportunity and i think we are gonna take it!!! Hopefully! Well I just wanted to update you all let me know what you think!!!

Livin' The Great Life (yeah right!)

That's what were doin'............. livin the Great Life!!! HA! I wish that was the case! This week has been *excuse my french* SHITTY!!! From starting out at rock bottom to digging a hole under rock bottom and jumping in it then sinking a few feet...... A lot has happened these last few weeks that would make a person wanna just give up, but on the flip side... a few things have happened to make it possible to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!! We just started a new job were i can work from home and Dallas can kind of work form home, if any of you wanna hear about it, i think i can help you out and get you a job too!!! Its really gonna be great once i can get all of the crap off us so we can start moving forward!!! anyway, i love you all... thanks for reading. Talk to you soon!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Love Ashleigh & Dallas (sort of)


P.S
i just realized that the last post i did said that we just started a new job as store managers and brick masons.... well those are old news now... ;)
