Ireland

I went to Ireland for 2 weeks this summer.. It was my first time. My dad spends his summers there, and since we've only known each other a few years, it was the first time meeting most of his family. We went to the village he was born in and saw lots of beautiful countryside. It's really so green!! rolling green hills... its a beautiful place.

oh yes, and that birthday party....

what a summer

crazy summer..! got engaged, bought a condo, and turned 30.. in that order :) the place is gorgeous. a little further from the city, but now we have trees and air instead of traffic and noise. we gave up convenience for space and it was worth it. plus i got a car, so that helps with the distance.
