adult is good

yah, i love being adult.  there are plenty of whine worthy moments.  but overall i am free, happy, and engaged in a great life.

i think being in ireland with b might have reset my perspective a bit.  can you tell? =)
i feel thoroughly refreshed and mom is coming tomorrow to continue the joy!

by the way, ireland is really, really cool.  food was great. people were quite hospitable and the scenery was gorgeous.  zero complaints about celebrating a birthday in ireland.  more photos of course.  they are trapped on a camera in kirkland right now. . .;-)

here we are on the floor by the bathroom, on the way to Cork.  the train was so packed there wasnt even room in the hallway.  we were lucky to find a "seat" (aka floor space) near a door to the dining car.  B got more leg room anyway. =)

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”” - Jeremiah 17:7-8
