Settling in

After a very busy and stressful week, we had a nice and relaxing weekend recuperating.  I can't believe it is only week two!

Today I started getting into the swing of things and went to Whole Foods for the first time in a year and a half and I have to say I really had missed it!!  We are so spoiled here by all the wonderful selection of foods - from the bounty of fresh fruit and veggies to the vast selection of every boxed product you can imagine. 

In Ireland, it was not unusual, in fact it was usually the norm, for me to not find several items on my list because they were out of stock.  To qualify this, it was not that I was just picky about brand, many products only have one brand stocked - for example, I wanted to buy yeast to make some pizza dough - they were out and wouldn't be getting any in for two weeks! (and this is at Tesco - equivalent size to a Safeway)

I am excited to settle in again and start a routine and get into life, including even the grocery shopping!
