It was the highlight of my year and I feel incredibly blessed to have spent that time with you, check out your new place, and to be there with you at the beginning of your pregnancy! I feel like I got to be there for a good chunk of your exciting year. :) Cheers to the best year yet!Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385540835878463512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-47160900548140560622014-05-10T04:55:55.847-07:002014-05-10T04:55:55.847-07:00Hi Halley, did you have much luck in this departme...Hi Halley, did you have much luck in this department? My only ideas are all the sorts of things I'd do for a new puppy - hot water bottles and keep up a schedule. I'd suggest maybe longer walks than a dog with a yard would get. So much play that when she gets home she passes out :) Rachelhttp://rachelinireland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-68608147589687449722014-05-10T04:49:40.795-07:002014-05-10T04:49:40.795-07:00What you've said here is very true.

I felt very similar when I finished working in a tourist environment in Killarney on my own and moved to Dublin with my fiance. Particularly in the friend department - the friends I had seem to have either been his friends first, or somehow acquired through him. Anyway, this post reminded me of those memories. I hope you absolutely conquered Galway!Rachelhttp://rachelinireland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-69049233213793434952013-11-22T04:00:24.330-08:002013-11-22T04:00:24.330-08:00Thanks ladies!

This is particularly tricky for Scarecrow since he gets home at 6 and his class starts at 6:30 a couple of days a week. He has sacrificed the most diet wise with me working and so has had a few Snickers bars for dinner lately. But with my late starts this week I cooked real food (enchiladas and meatloaf), took some of it for my dinner and left the rest on the stove for him to heat up for his. That also gave leftovers for lunch for the next day too! I'm going to try and keep that up since it seems to have worked well.<br /><br />Emily, I wear my wedding band on my left hand and my engagement ring on my right since they don't fit together. I love them both though so I don't know if I could bear replacing the wedding band with something that fits my engagement ring!Halleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912659113492919090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-69876144993956176572013-11-18T23:30:45.401-08:002013-11-18T23:30:45.401-08:00Super cute picture of you two- I'm not sure if...Super cute picture of you two- I'm not sure if you wear your wedding ring on your right hand or on your left, but what ever ring is on your left hand looks great!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446668861873638083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-16357013684098548752013-11-18T07:28:58.968-08:002013-11-18T07:28:58.968-08:00Good luck on figuring out the juggling.

We have ordered pizza more dinners than I would care to admit and I've had plenty of hodge podge dinners where I have fed my kids pop tarts for dinner. You'll figure it out once you get the hang of your new schedule.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791408808472762904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-48058205556262014832013-08-26T14:19:09.596-07:002013-08-26T14:19:09.596-07:00loved loved loved all of this months blog, keep th...loved loved loved all of this months blog, keep them coming...one fun loving summer and great to see after 12 months the sparks are still flying...isn't marriage grand...love you Ozzie kids mwah hahaha xxxThere was a family of seven, who moved to be closer to heaven...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07998000546571229939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-34088855255965598452013-06-16T08:42:18.986-07:002013-06-16T08:42:18.986-07:00What a fun time you have been having.

I found my class through Meetup.com; have you used that before? It's something to look into- might help you get out more, meet new people, and doesn't have to necessarily mean spending money (I know how the money thing goes- grad school, yikes).

My parents and I liked to call it "cultural overload" because I didn't want to come home, but I did need something familiar.I was usually able to get out of it with a good talk with family and then ditching school for a day to visit the temple in Madrid. Even just an hour on temple grounds helped me refocus.Staci Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12180641617146455592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952576531309238444.post-44783902267668221952012-10-29T06:32:41.391-07:002012-10-29T06:32:41.391-07:00Great post, Halley.
