...happy rosh hashanana...

Society likes to define our marriage as an "interfaith" one (he is jewish and I was raised catholic), but we look at it as two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. Initially when we started dating it was definitely different being with someone who didn't celebrate the same holiday's as you, or even have similar church memories. I can recall the first time I was going to meet Mikis' parents, and was scared to death they were going to hate the blonde haired catholic girl, thankfully I was over-reacting and they couldn't have been more lovely and accepting. Now we look at it as a just another attribute that makes our relationship unique. We think of it as a positive; it allows us the opportunity to participate in many different religious and cultural holiday's, and truly let's us experience the best of two worlds. Today we are celebrating the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanana.We will be celebrating by enjoying dinner with the Troyan family and close friends. We thought you could join the celebration with us by making one of my fav Rosh Hashanana sides-Noodle Kugel.
