Farewell to Dublin

I just landed in Denver about 8 hours ago. I am back in the states! The only problem is that it is 2am in Denver as I sit in my living room surrounded by boxes and suitcases and type this message. It’s 9am in Dublin, so my body thinks that it is day time. It will take a bit of re-adjustment.

My last week in Dublin was crazy. The bible study girls gave me a wonderful send off dinner on Monday. I am so thankful for the incredible friends I met in Dublin. I am planning to visit one of girls when she and her kids are home in Florida for Christmas.

The girls that I worked with gave me a beautiful Ireland picture book. They said they want me to look at it and miss Ireland and come back. I’m not so sure about the coming back to live, but I definitely wouldn’t rule out coming back to visit! J

Packing up and moving out of my apartment took a lot of logistical planning. In the end it went pretty smoothly, but it’s never easy or fun to pack up and move! I ended up shipping 5 Fedex boxes and they were all in Denver when I arrived. Now I just have to figure out where to find room for all the stuff in my house.

I want to thank all of you for reading my Ireland blog and I hope that you have enjoyed joining
me on this journey. It was an incredible opportunity to live in another country and travel. I thoroughly enjoyed my time, and I think that living in a different country and experiencing different people and cultures has influenced my world view.
