Beginnings

So, I didnt want to feel left out of the club and decided to create my own blog for all others to enjoy. This way i can update you on my life and the fun things inside because I'm sure those of you reading this (probably two people) aren't on facebook(: I'll do my best to fill this space with something of importance but i'll probably just end up rambling about myself. Anyway, enjoy!
I just got back from a trip to the British Isles and drove all across England, Wales and Ireland! It was incredible. This is my solemn lookout over the Irish Sea as we were getting ready to leave the country the next day. It was beautiful!

Here I am with a group of beautiful girls sitting inside the Tintern Abbey in Wales. We had a little devotional inside the front entrance (or "warming room") and sang a couple songs ( the acoustics were incredible). After, we walked around and stared in amazement how this marvelous building was ever built. Words cannot explain and pictures cannot do justice the beauty and feelings you feel as you walk through each section and read the background of the Abbey itself.
While in Ireland, we drove through the Ring of Kerry and stopped at a few places to look out over the water and take pictures. The road was tiny and cars would come speeding past you around blind corners so it was a little scary but we obviously made it through safe and sound. (The Ring of Kerry is also the place where a great deal of "The Princess Bride" was filmed).

Stratford-Upon-Avon was the first town we visited in England and it might just be my favorite. There are tiny little houses connected to eachother all over the place and the doors are so small i think i would have to duck to get in them. There are tons of shops surrounding the River Avon and hundreds of round-a-bouts instead of intersections with street lights which can be either lots of fun to drive or lots of chaos and confusion, which was mostly our case with 5 vans driving around the cities in England but i made great memories!
There's just a few pictures to describe the things i saw! I promise i wont write as much next time but this trip needed some explanations I'm sure! I can't wait till i can go back again....which probably wont be for a very very long time, but a girl can dream!!!
