Back! And a general update for the first time in a year or so
Ireland was a wonderful, fun, exhausting trip. The views were gorgeous, the people very very kind and talkative, all in all it was pretty amazing. We did a lot of driving (and I must say the Irish are both braver drivers than I, and absolutely insane when it comes to driving), saw many castles, many MANY sheep and cows, and had two burros that lived in back of our house, whom my brother named Sanchez and Domingo :)
Most exciting, Dan and I got our wedding rings there! We had hoped to find something special, and in the little town of Dingle we found a shop we both liked, where we got to meet the man who made all the jewelry. He made my ring to fit perfectly into my engagement ring, since my engagement ring gets wider around the sapphire than around the diamonds. We're both very excited :)
Wedding plans are progressing nicely, we just REALLY have to get the invitations out. Sadly, there are more friends who we want to come to the wedding than we actually have room for, so we're also going to have to think of something special to do for the people who we just can't fit.
As a side note, I really really miss playing up in NH with the boys, that campaign was wonderful. If any of you are reading this, I miss you guys! Hopefully, gas prices will fall soon, so we can resume the journey to Xendrik!
My job is going excellently. I just got completed my Early Childhood Education course so now I get to play official teacher to my toddlers. Oh the fun we shall have!
Lastly, I guess, the baby is doing very well as far as I can tell. The belly is getting to be pretty evident, at least to me, and what at first two or three weeks ago were only occasional flutters are now definitely growing to be very firm pokes usually once or twice an hour. I guess I don't have to tell you the joy that brings to Dan and I :)
Hope things are going well with everyone! I'll try and update more regularly even if just to record for myself the days leading up to our wedding and becoming a mom. :)
