  1. Happy 21st Anniversary!

    2 Comments

    John started a new job in August, and since then he has been asking me (repeatedly) to gather some photos of the two of us to display in his office. So I purchased a frame that would hold 19 photos, and I came home to start picking the ones I wanted to include.

    The only problem was, I found over 100.

    So I decided to take a different approach. Using Shutterfly, I made two posters that would hold 30 photos each. I love looking at all of these reminders of how much fun we have together.

    I’m so lucky to have you as my partner John Hetrick! Thank you for 21 wonderful years, and here’s to (at least) 21 more.

    Mass at St Peter's and St. Paul's.

    Cliffs of Moher 5 Miler–We were really looking forward to all of the activities on Saturday, and they did not disappoint. We started with breakfast at the hotel, then a short bus ride through County Clare to the Cliffs of Moher where we ran in the 5 Miler. It was a beautiful, hilly run with gorgeous views of the water and the countryside. Lots of families came out of their homes to watch us go by. John won 4th overall, 1st overseas.

    St. Mary’s High School Band Performance at the Cliffs of Moher–The kids from the St. Mary’s band were busy on this trip! They played for us several times, including at the Cliffs before the race.

    Vaughan’s Anchor Inn–We were really looking forward to a great seafood meal and this one was truly delicious. We had oysters, mussels, seafood stew, cod, and fish n’ chips.

    Tour of the Burren –We got a long coach tour of the Burren all the way up to Galway Bay. Oor tour guide was kind and funny and told many stories. The Burren itself was a huge field of rock left from glacial ice.

    Mass at St Peter’s & St Paul’s Cathedral–The cathedral in Ennis is really colorful and beautiful. We did a lot of standing up, sitting down, kneeling, and nodding. What a workout! We enjoyed our evening.

    Pub Tour–After mass we went back to change into some warmer clothes and hit as many pubs as we could, and since we’re old, that was only two. Although we were trying to find some great traditional music, the guys playing at the first pub were working their way through some Santana standards. We moved on to a smaller place geared more towards locals where we saw our bus driver from earlier in the day having a few pints with his buds.
