It's hard to believe that a year has passed since we got married, but on March 29th we celebrated our first anniversary. I guess so much has happened in that one year that it feels much longer than that. That's a good thing, by the way! As we reflected on all of the events we both realized what an incredible adventure it has been so far and we are so happy to be sharing this life together. Sorry to get mushy on you! Here's a brief summary of our year:
-both quit our jobs
-sold nearly everything we owned and packed the rest
-planned a wedding and got married
-moved to Ireland
-made 7 international trips
-made a baby :)
Ok, so to end this post on a less sentimental note, here's a funny story about our big anniversary celebration. So, we didn't do too much planning, but I was in the mood for a nice juicy steak. I went online and found an American style steakhouse here in Galway called Scotty's. I was envisioning Houston's or Ruth's Chris, you know, something romantic, dark and steak that just melts in your mouth. Both Marco and I tried not to fill up during the day in anticipation for the big meal. We were really looking forward to it. Then we walked in the front door to discover that it was more like a cross between Applebee's and a 50's diner! Anyway, we thought we would give it a chance since there were decent reviews online. I ordered the fillet mignon dinner and Marco got some other steak. The plates arrived and it looked like something you would get at a truck stop. We both took a few bites and decided it was about the caliber of hospital cafeteria food....not impressive at all, especially for 70 euros,!!! The good news is that we laughed and laughed about the whole experience and how much we had built up the anticipation. The best part is that despite the food disappointment we still had a great time. We had quite a good amount of leftovers, so the next day we made Philly cheese steaks for lunch and they were considerably better than the original meal. So much for our big first anniversary celebration! At least we could appreciate that being together was worth more than the meal. :)

Heather, congratulations on your anniversary and the coming baby. Loved your story about the steak, Joe and I can relate as we have to drive at least an hour and a half to find any decent restaurant food here in Ohio. The best we've found so far is, believe it or not, a Chinese Dim Sum place...wonderful food. Love reading about your adventures.
