A brief hello...

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and share some great news!  My sister Heather has arrived safely in Ireland and as I type this, she is sitting on a bus en route to Belfast.  :)  She should be here at 10:45 am... unfortunately, I have to be in work in about a half hour so Niall is going to pick her up.  Though I'm bummed I'll be at Soul Food while Heather is sitting in my apartment, I'm so grateful she has arrived safely and I can't wait to come home to a familiar Santa Barbara face.  :)

This week has gone well.  Niall and I have been looking forward to visitors ever since we got here, so the anticipation of someone arriving has been exciting.  Niall, Heather and I will be picking up Taylor (arriving in Dublin from France) at the airport tomorrow.  Then we're all off to Naas for the weekend to be with the Madden family and celebrate Avril's 21st!

I better go, I have a couple of more things to do before I get ready for work.  We will take some photos this weekend and check back with you all next week!  Love you guys...

welcome to Belfast Heather :)  love, your sis
