Journey to Belfast


Wednesday morning we woke up to move the car again and good news, it started!! Haha then went back to sleep until 9:00am. We checked out of our Airbnb at 10:00 and headed to Carlingford to eat and then take a more coastal route to Belfast. We took a couple detours in the mountains and saw shepherds walking their sheep it was the cutest thing ever! The houses up in the countryside were absolutely beautiful as well. We were glad we ended up on these unpaved roads. After exploring Carlingford for a little we headed up to Belfast. We checked in with Viv our AirBnB host and she was sooo lovely. She was born in the Sea Shell islands which is in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa, but grew up in Manchester England, and has been in Ireland for the past 15 years. She asked if we wanted to go see the castle and if so she would come with us, so we went on a journey to see the Belfast Castle and it has the most amazing view and it's actually a venue now where people have their wedding at. Lucas you down for switching our reception venue?! ;P We played around pretending we were queens going to the ball, it was good fun. 
Viv then directed us to the Queens University and told us some other things we could check out for the night but she was going to play board games with her crew. We checked out Queens University and got the cheerleaders to say, "Welcome to Belfast Girls" for our video! Then walked around the botanical gardens, then got some food at a Pub, then walked around the city centre admiring the buildings! We met up with Viv again and she offered to buy us bread and PB & Jelly so we could make sandwiches for our lunch the next day. Isn't that the sweetest? We ran to the grocery store and we got caught up in the candy isle... Surprise surprise. Then we were on our way back to Viv's and she claimed she had the best shower so I wanted to see if that was true and it was pretty dang nice. But I think a hot shower anywhere would be nice after being out in the cold all day. I actually forgot to bring my towel into the bathroom.. Awkward. I was hoping Kylee and Haley would hear me asking for them to bring me my towel and not Viv and luckily they did! That night we made a bunch of face swap videos which got the giggles going and we were pretty slap happy for the night but it made for good memories! We learned that my face only looks good on my head, I look like an old lady on everyone else's heads. Cheers

September First Camping Trip with Myla

Image
  Started out with Labor Day and Lucas had it off so Micah joined us on a bike ride. We we’re still watching the Millett’s so we had Jane sleep over so she could watch Myla while we rode. Then we had breakfast and hung out there and then had all the cousins over for a swim party to celebrate Alli & Jacobs birthday. Myla started developing a rash around her eyes and mouth that seems to be caused from heat. It flares up in the car and after naps. So hopefully it will go away soon. We had Sunday dinner with my family and the boys had fun laughing Myla around In a box. This week I filmed Traci Beagley and her breast cancer journey and it was very powerful and I’m glad I was able to be apart of bringing awareness to so many. I just had another afternoon with the Millett’s. Next I went to the library with Tayzia for baby Olympics.  Then that night we went to the ASU game with the Packard’s and Trennon & Cari Anne. We got shaved ice that smelt like gasoline so that wa...

Now What?

This past month has been different and not quite what I was expecting. This whole semester I had been working hard for ADI and with the hope that they would hire me on after the internship was over. They had been telling me multiple times that they love me and are trying to get a position open to keep me here for good. Having that said I was kind of banking of getting hired post graduation. Well a couple weeks ago Sue took me to lunch to inform me that they actually do not have a position available because Hotel Site Select has not taken off as fast as they were hoping and they will not have the money to pay me. I was pretty upset and sad because I really LOVE this business, and the other employees are so good to me, and I was already making my future plans to be with them. That lunch meeting was not the happiest, and I was pretty down the next week or so. Many thoughts began to run through my head about being jobless, and how am I going to pay off my loans, and where should I apply no...

October Beginning of Holidays

Image
First day of the month and we had the Bodine ladies over for sister lunch which was really refreshing since we had been home all week not feeling good. It was a good time like always, I’m glad to have them as my sister in laws! Friday we did pickleball with the Skousen’s, Packard’s, and Standage’s for date night and it was super fun to be active and have a group date night! Saturday I had a Romanian Pentecostal wedding that was from 8:30am-7:30pm. It was looong but fairly easy since there is a lot of driving to different locations. It was also conference so I listened to a little bit during the drives. Sunday we started potty training... again. We woke up and “threw” the diapers away and made Myla say goodbye to them and she gladly did. Then we put on underwear and told her to tell us every time she has to go. She had about 7 accidents that day which is normal cause I was pumping her with water & juice all day to make her pee more. It was really nice to have Lucas here on day 1 bec...
