Visit Home

At the three month mark, I was able to come home for a visit. I did not write about it earlier because I was trying to surprise some of my friends in Denver. It didn't work out quite as planned, but I am able to attend a friends wedding on Saturday and I found out that there is a baby shower for another friend while I am home. I am trying to spend as much time with family and friends as possible during my one week home. It is great to see everyone and also a bit strange to be driving back on the Right side of the road! I am also enjoying my very plush bed at home :) I have to say that everything feels huge here...the cars, the roads, the stores, the houses, etc. I went to Walmart and I had to drag myself out of there an hour later. There is just nothing like it in Ireland where it is such a huge store, with so much inventory and you can buy all your groceries, toiletries, and household goods all in one place! Ireland has many boutique stores, where you buy individual items. You can buy most things, you just have to know where to look. I am definitely taking advantage of the less expensive shopping in the states and I am headed back to Ireland on Sunday with my bags full!
