Say what you waited a year ?

        A new year and lets start over me and you blog . I miss being able to sit down and write (type) what or how I am feeling, or what is on my mind at a time. It also has been almost a year since I have last written and a lot has happened since March of 2012.
     My, April was so long ago and I almost can't remember what happened. I think the most monumental thing that happened in April (besides me turning 25 ) was that Shawn and me bought tickets for us to go to Ireland! Yes  I said it , I finally after 25 years get to travel overseas. Best Birthday present ever , even though I had to wait till October.
    May, June, July and August were spent enjoying the summer with friends and family. And mowing an awful lot of grass. It was a never ending grass. I love our yard and hate it at the same time. In the winter its nice don't have to do anything just look at it and for 3 full months its pretty much mow every week or you are screwed. We have a gaggle of turkeys, a herd of deer( not sure of the correct terminology but you get the picture) and a groundhog that all live in our back yard or the woods surrounding it.
       September we celebrated our 2nd anniversary and were getting ready for our trip to Ireland.
My Mom and sister Caitlin came up at the end of September to watch Caspian while Shawn and me were on our vacation. I got to spend some time with them and that was a lot of fun. It had been a long time since I had seen Caitlin and spent time with her. It was great getting to spend some time with my Mom since I hadn't seen her since Thanksgiving 2011.

Shawn and Me in Galway, Ireland October 2012

 

 

 The 1st week of October 2012 will never be forgot. Shawn and me left for Ireland on the 4th. We found out soon that me and flying do not agree and therefore I was sick. When we landed for our layover in Chicago I quickly hunted down some medicine. It helped but I still felt awful. It was also a 6 plus hr flight to Ireland. And well not an easy one.  When we landed in Dublin we hopped on a bus to go to the train station and then took a 2hr train ride to Galway. If I had to do anything different about our trip it would have been not going straight from the plain to a train. That wasn't a good idea. We spent 2 days in Galway. This really nice city on the West coast of Ireland. It was so serene and calm. Very quaint! Then back on the train and 3 days in Dublin. The whole trip was great and loads of fun. We did so much stuff. It was a trip we will never forget. And 4 months later we have already been talking about how we would like to go back or travel to another country soon. Hopefully the next time we can include Caspian .

   November and December were a blurr. Trying to get Christmas done. I was so behind this year, actually come to think of  it I still am. I have my sisters and my best friends Mandy's Christmas gifts to make . They will get them even if they don't get them till next Christmas . Sorry If you do get them that late guys.

 

   Now the new year is here and there is so much potential. I have a lot the I would like to happened or get done .For now that's all but I plan to Live Better. Love More. Laugh Harder.
