January 21, 2007
We can't believe a year went by so fast! A year ago we stood before our beloved friends and families, and pledged to love and support each other for the rest of our lives. At that point in time, we had turned down England and were looking forward to building a life together in Pittsburgh. We were then and are now amazed at the outpouring of love we were shown by all of you that day, and the support you've given our marriage since.
Now almost countless twists and turns to the story later, we spent our first anniversary in the Malverns (beautiful hills and a village about 45 min from here), walking in unbelievable gusts of wind with new friends. Needless to say, we'd never imagined that's how we would celebrate our first anniversary! It seems especially fitting though, and a sign of good things to come for the year ahead. The fall was especially lonely for us as we tried, and seemingly failed, to connect with people and establish friendships. It all felt like so much work, and we became pretty insular. There's been quite a shift since we've come back, however. We've been busy with new friends every weekend so far, whether it is for dinner, a movie, games, or walking in the countryside. It seems things are looking up for us here!
For more pics of our day out, click here. Also, thanks for all the happy wishes through emails, phone calls and cards! They truly made our day!
