Ireland week 9 of 15!

And what a fun week it has been! Drew finally got in after landing in Cleveland due to bad weather and then finally making it to Newark, missing his flight to Belfast and then finally flying in Tuesday morning! It was quit the adventure, but I am so completely happy he is here! After he arrived we came back to see the place then headed out for lunch at Pizza Express! Then headed back so Drew could get some much needed rest! The next few days were all mostly like this with me going to work in the morning and Drew catching up to the time zone here! Thursday after I headed to work in the morning, my boss wanted me to run some errands in town so Drew and I headed down and spent the next three hours wandering, shopping, and then stopping for lunch! Then from Friday to Monday I had off work and we started our site seeing! Friday we headed to the Titanic Museum which was built on the actual area that the real Titanic was built! So cool, so much history! Then we ate lunch, headed back for a rest and then we headed to see Batman! When we got there our tickets said VIP but we weren't sure what that meant, and with Drew's excellent punctuality we were there 2 hours early! So they had us wait in the Directors lounge and told us they would come get us when the movie was about to begin! Well little did we know that it was a theater much like Gold Class Cinema with lounge chairs and comfort, but without waiters and meal served while you watch the movie! A pleasent surprise! Saturday we headed out for breakfast and then to the grocery store, and when we got back home to rest for the days outings, we both zonked and when we woke it was 6pm, so we stayed in and chilled! Sunday we headed out to church, Drew got a very warm welcome from the ward! They all said I looked so happy! I didn't realize till Drew got here that I didn't look happy before, but now with him, I realize how much I really do need him around in my life! After church we headed to a place called Stormont where Irish Parlament meets! Beautiful grounds, a castle, park, and much more! Then came home, took naps, made dinner, had Mandy, Brian, and Sadie over for dinner, who are friends from LA, and then headed to their place for an awesome game night of Mexican Train! Thank you guys, for a fun evening! Yesterday was the day of days for site seeing! We headed out at 9:30am saw the Irish coast, Rope Bridge, Giants Causeway, stopped at a Tea Room at Dunluce Castle for lunch, saw Dunluce Castle, and then toured Londonderry! And then enjoyed a nice dinner at Flaming Jacks! Headed home and pulled in exactly 12 hours from when we left that morning! Such an exhausting but fun day! We are both so grateful to be here together experiencing this! Even with all the stress and craziness of my job, we are both so happy to be here! And so grateful! Until next week...
