Hard to believe I started blogging A.Greene’s Adventures 6 months ago. 100 posts later, I have shared with you the ways I have transformed, transitioned, and transcended, into married life in Corning NY.

Looking back, since January we:

Survived our first NY winter

(See: A lesson in Independence, 2300 degrees, my new hometown)

Settled into our home, state, and name change

(See: I miss my old life, Becoming Mrs. ________________, Passport to new beginnings, The Game Chest, The front porch project, 

Celebrated first married holidays just the two of  us

(See: Valentines Pie a new tradition, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!, A (new) Easter tradition, Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Memorial Day, Happy Father’s Day, 4th of July funfetti cookies,)

Discovered the job market and applied to teaching positions (me).

Enjoyed spring and summer festivals:

Learned from each other what our married life looks like:

Created and experimented with many new dinners

(See: A Vegetarian Mediterranean meal,   A good Spring Quiche, Greene’s Tilapia fish tacos, 

and dessert recipes and found our favorites:

Reflected back on our wedding as we celebrated each new month of marriage
