Recipe for Newlyweds Abroad Success

Roughly one year ago, Aaron got the job offer from Russell to move to London with his wife-to-be in one week (me!). And six months ago, we actually did it; we picked up our life in Seattle and moved what we could of it across the very, very large pond.

This Sunday marks six months in London, and it has not been without it's ups and downs - below I've put together everything that has made up this experience. And to celebrate our first six months abroad, we are heading to Rome!

Newlyweds Abroad Recipe
Makes about 6 months worth

Ingredients:
- Heaping of unbelievable adventures (recommend using airline miles)
- Scoop of life-lessons
- Sprinkling of mistakes
- Handful of laughter (generous portion)
- Dash of homesickness
- Top with a British accent*

Mix ingredients evenly in a large bowl. Bake at 350 degrees F, 180 degrees C or Gas Mark 4... which reminds me... forgot to add a cup of International frustrations and knowledge. Cook until well done. Repeat as necessary.

*Just kidding about the British accent. Unfortunately, we do not have one... yet!
