One year down....many more to come!

Wow, our first anniversary and what can we say other than....ALOT has happened!

Let's see, in one year of marriage we have:

• Rented out our home
• Sold our cars
• Quit our jobs
• Moved in with family
• Left our comfort zones and moved to a foreign country
• Moved in with friends in that foreign country
• Applied for more jobs than we can even remember
• Landed jobs in a foreign country
• Moved into our own flat in SINGAPORE
• Underwent an extreme case of culture shock
• Am overcoming culture shock
• Adapted to 90 degree heat with 100% humidity
• Experienced new foods and culture
• Travelled to Malaysia, Thailand and throughout Singapore
  
  If that is not stress on a relationship then I am not sure what is! Giving up our jobs and moving away from our family and friends definitely gave me more eczema than I could handle! One thing is for sure; our first year of marriage and our recent experiences have only made us even closer. We have endured more stress than we imagined with the unknown outcome of our decision to move and we only have each other to lean on. If this is the toughest our marriage will get, than I am so excited to what our future holds!
  
  Jamie and I celebrated our actual anniversary date by spending the day at the market looking for the best cuts of meat and produce and then cooking up a yummy Apple and Pork Roast at home, thanks to one of Jamie Oliver’s recipes! We have recently become fans, the movie Julia and Julia has inspired Jamie to do the same after Jamie Oliver: Jamie and Jamie! Ha-ha!
  
  To continue our celebration Jamie and I are off to Thailand this weekend. We are heading to Koh Lanta Island and staying at the posh Pimalai Resort and Spa (check out the website) thanks to our good friends Grant and Caroline! We are looking forward to this weekend with close friends and lush pampering! Grant has booked us the 2 bedroom villa and we fully intend to play a round of IRON CHEF one night to cook up a storm of fresh seafood and yummy spices!
  
  Looking forward to sharing more of our celebration when we return, in the meantime, here is the website for your reviewing and some photo’s of where we will be on this long weekend!
