It feels like Ive been here for ages already, however, I'm only to bein' here 3 days and a bit. Nothing, except all the good things I keep hearing about what God is doing and continues to do, has changed, including the end of week checks to see if we got lice, ah yes, good times! Yesterday I went out to coffee with Leisel, as we always use to, and found a cute coffee place in the middle of some mall,
and it was so good to catch up -- then shop!

It's freezing cold, but with thermals on under everything and layer and more layers and coats and gloves and scarves, I remembered how to manage when the wind is blowing in your face and pelting rain, and your only option is walking.. I have missed it. I walked around all of Dublin yesterday, delighted that I could still get myself everywhere I wanted to go, and I went to all the places I remember passing by daily and took so many pictures, sopping wet from the lashing rain, however it was all worth it bcuz I got to go to the Lighthouse!!!
The Lighthouse was the biggest blessing of my tim
e here when I lived here, so getting to see the people I use to work with, my "Irish grandmother" and the ppl that took me in as their own during my year here, made my heart beat so fast as I anticipated seeing them. Sure enough, when I walked in, one swore straighaway from being so shocked to see me, cuz none of them new I was coming... It was sooo amazing to catch up with them and laugh and be encouraged!

house, I met Sami and Leisel and we went cross town to Leisel's to dye her hair and watch Grey's Anatomy.. Ah the memories..... I sat so content w/ my friends.. in Dublin... and it was so great... Sami and I then braved the elements again -- to walk half an hour home, at 1am to get to bed.. There is nothing like the relationships and conversation that happens when you daily look ridiculous becuz of the amount of bundling up you have to do to survive walking everywhere here, and the conversation and the connections that happen on the walks to get everywhere with ppl. I miss that.. Having a half hour here, a half hour there just to talk, as you walk -- it's great.. So here's alot of pics.. The updates are short and sweet, I know, I would rather just be out and about than typing a blog -- but I am doing my best..
