Ireland week 13 of 14!!!

Can you believe it?  My last week here!  It has been an amazing summer full of fun, excitement, learning experiences, trials, hardships, and more!  The decision to come out here was not easy but ended up being definite that I needed to be here.  I may not know the exact reason of needing to be out here, but I have learned so many things about myself, my relationship with my husband, and relationships with family and friends.  And I have learned a lot about where I stand as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!  I know the changes I want and need to make in my life when I get home to make the most of what I have in front of me!  I know some of the changes won't be easy and I know I won't be able to do it all at once, but I know I need to make these changes to better my life and the relationships I have!  I have been so blessed to be able to see so much this summer!  I have been all around Ireland, France, and London!  I am so thankful for these experiences and for the people I have been able to share them with!  I am so grateful for the time Drew and I were able to spend out here!  I am so thankful for the family that I work for and for them making it possible to experience so much this summer!  And most of you know, Drew headed back home this last Tuesday and that was not easy at all!  I wanted to go home with him so badly!  But now only 1 more week, and 1 10 hour flight to LA and I will be home!  I am aching and yearning to be in my own home, but will miss this place for sure!  I hope someday to return and catch up with the people I have met out here, they have all made such a wonderful impact in my life!  The things I am mostly looking forward to at home are being around family and friends, my own home and bed, people who have the same accent as me, the sun, 3G on my phone, and well pretty much everything!  But there is no rest for the weary, the month of Sept. is going to be a busy one, from Vegas to Utah, back home to LA, and then to Spokane Washington!  Then we are into Oct.  But what fun is life without it being non-stop!  I cannot wait to see you all and catch up!  This time next week I will be on my way home!  So, until next week!!!
