Hey all!! I just wanted you to know that I made it here safe and sound! Praise God!! Finally!! It seemed like it took forever to get here but now I'm just trying to get settled in. Yesterday was crazy. We went to the Chicago airport around 1:00 to check in. Aerlingus, the airline we flew with, only allows 80lbs total for your lugage. When I weighed it the day before, I had just barely made it. Well, I didn't realize that they only allowed a certain amount of weight for the carry on as well. I put my backpack up there and it was way over the weight limit. I was like oh no this is not good! So I started taking stuff out of my backpack and putting it into my larger bag. Still wasn't enough, so I took more stuff out. I was kinda panicking but just like please God help me! The lady was finally like, it's okay now put your other bags on here that your checking, so I did. I kept apologizing to her and tel her that I was goin to be gone for 3 months and was trying to do the best I could. When I had finally gotten both of my bags up there, she said that if I would have been one more ounce over, I would have had to pay a fine. One ounce you all! Seriously! That's crazy! God is so great. I know it seems like such a small thing but it was a small thing that I was worried about that God took care of! Thank you!!
Anyway, we finally got to Ireland around 9:15AM their time, which is 4:15 your time. We were definitely tired when we got here. Then my friend Brian King (famous Leinster rugby player) picked us up at the airport! I wasn't for sure if he would remember me but he did! It was so great to see him again and catch up and hear all about his family and just life! So he drove us to Galway, which is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Dublin. It was nice....but we were all very sleepy! We finally got to Galway around 3 I think it was or maybe earlier and I got to see Leanna! I went to Ireland with her two years ago and she is here for a year long internship! I am so happy she is here!! She in incredible!
Anyway, we got into our room and it is huge! So much bigger than I thought. Six beds in all, three bunk beds. Lots of open space. We have our own bathroom and a lot of clothes space (which is always good for girls)!! Anyway, then we took a tour of the place. I hope I can remember everything and where everything is! It's like a maze! So crazy! I'm just glad to finally be here.
Please pray for me. Pray that I would be able to get settled in quick and figure everything out. Pray that me, Sarah, and CJ would all gel well together and work well with each other. I know God's got big plans for us over the next three months...just pray that we will continue the course and keep our eyes on Him! Thanks for all your prayers and I'll try to be back soon! Gotta go in to town now to pick up some stuff! Love you all!!
