I was looking for these photos a few months ago when I did the series on what it’s like to move to Ireland. My mother in law took them at the airport on the morning I arrived in 2008, and she found them last week and sent them over.
I thought they were especially appropriate this week since we’ve been having wild and windy weather again. In all honesty, it’s been driving me nuts – running has been fantastic in one direction and miserable in the other, and every time I take the recycling out to the bin it blows halfway down the street!
{look at my hair standing straight up! It was so short back then!}
But looking at these photos of me in the wild wind made me smile. I look so young! Michael doesn’t look so different. I’ll have to ask him what his secret is. What I love the most is how excited we both are to see each other for the first time since getting married two months earlier. And I look excited to be starting my new adventure in Ireland.
I think I’ll try to remember that excitement next time the wind nearly blows me over!
