So I guess I should blog about Kari and I's amazing 5 year anniversary trip to Ireland...

Starting off with travel... the flights weren't that bad at all. I mean, they were 6-7 hours, but having my ipad and an exit row seat made everything much nicer. If you're ever going on a flight this long, try to get an exit row seat (but beware - exit row window seats do not recline all the way). Another quick international travel trip: bring a 3G iPad, buy prepaid 3G SIM cards wherever you go.

Hmm, I don't think I can make my anniversary article as good as Kari's. Maybe I'll try to be more serious than her. wtf?

So yeah, this weekend was Kari and I's first anniversary. We were fairly confused about what to do because... well it's our first. And we were never the "today is our 14 month anniversary!!!" couple. You know the ones that not-married people celebrate... usually non-annually. I think kids get really confused about the reccurence of anniversaries. Anyway, off-topic. Again.

We basically celebrated Friday with some fondue, wedding cake, and St. Lucian rum. It was a good, laid back night. I was a little worried about the wedding cake being green and nasty, but it wasn't. And I'm pretty sure it tasted just as …
