1 Year Anniversary

Whew, so it has been a while since I posted to the blog. It was my 1 year anniversary in Dublin on Monday. I just renewed my GNIB card this week.  I can't believe it, time really does fly fast. I think one of the reasons why I wasn't blogging as much is that instead of feeling like an outsider looking in, this whole "experience" is feeling like my life, my new normal. Work is work and while I used to compare to what I missed in the US, I have now accepted how things are. But I still have one more year to go.

Since I last wrote we have been to Prague, Amsterdam, Isle of Man, Portugal, and Athens. We haven't planned our next trip yet but we are always a bit last minute. Being able to freely travel around Europe is awesome. I'm really loving that aspect of it. 

This week was also 4th of July. It was pretty low key at our house and we had some hot dogs to celebrate the day. I definitely missed the fireworks. There are no Americans in my firm so no one really said anything about it.

We have friends coming to visit this weekend so I'm excited about that. 

Here are some pictures from our recent adventures:

As Connor likes to say, Bye bye, see you later!
