Has it been a year already?


Time flies when you’re unemployed for the first time ever and trying to get used to a new country. The newlywed thing was the easy part.

A year ago today we celebrated our wedding in Stresa, Italy, in a beautiful setting surrounded by more friends and family than we usually see in a year (thanks to our country-hopping habits). The next week we packed up our apartment in Milan and set off to conquer Switzerland.

This also means I have been unemployed for a full year now, since I quit my job right before the wedding and move (and Scott started his around the same time). These major life events were certainly not planned to crash down on us all at once, but that’s just how things happened. It was a stressful, fun, surreal transition period to be sure.

OK, I’m going to stop here before I start to wax philosophical. Happy first anniversary to us! Too bad we don’t have any of that dark chocolate Italian wedding cake to celebrate with…

  2. Warm congratualtions Jul. I’ve discovered after my lats year thats its a long time and things can change dramatically. I’m in Basel after all. Best wishes for the next year!

  3. Most of the time, when I have a wedding cake, I think, “Well, it was made for appearnce, not taste.” Occasionally, I think, “Hmm, I should get the recipe.” That cake was the only one that simply blew my tastebuds off the island and made me wonder, “How did they do it?” I’m glad Mrs. Lemming and I had retired from wedding cake baking by then- it would have shamed us otherwise.

  4. Congratulations! My husband and I are also approaching our first wedding anniversary. And with the move coming up wondering if we have time for a quick trip to celebrate!

  6. happy anniversary!!!!!!

    and even if you show us a pretty cake, i think you still have to put up one of your wedding pictures too 🙂
