Thank you Jen for setting me up with a blog spot as a birthday present. I'll try my best to remember to provide updates!
As a 1st time blogger, I figured my 30th birthday was a good day to start. The countdown for my departure to Ireland is 3 days. I’m tired of looking at the suitcases trying to figure out how in the world to pack for 6 months in a foreign country that I have never even visited. More importantly I need to be able to lift the suitcases and they have to be under 100 lbs each for the airline to accept them...what a dilemma! I certainly can't pack my collection of 30 pairs of black shoes! What is a girl to do without her shoes!
Two days ago (April 6) a cruise ship in Greece sank off the coast of Santorini. It was shocking for me to read the news reports and watch the video as the ship sank. Even more unbelievable is the fact that my friend and I disembarked from that ship on March 30, only one week before it sank in the Aegean Sea. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the 2 unaccounted for passengers.
Today is also Easter Sunday and a time to celebrate. It was snowing this morning in Colorado, so we had to forgo the outdoor church service. It was wonderful to spend the day with family and friends.
The next couple days will be filled with work and packing…I’ll try to write again after I arrive in Ireland.

Anyone who knows Tara knows that a simple trip to Ikea can turn into an expedition. Now that she is going to Ireland for 6 months, what better way than a blog for her friends and families to keep up on her wild adventures!

Tara, do you really have 30 pairs of black shoes!? :) Also, I finally saw an article about your cruise ship, it looks like the captain might get 5 years!
I hope the rest of your packing goes well.
ummm. actually Ami thinks that my estimate of 30 pairs may be on the low side...
