Oh dear....seems I've been a bit remiss at updating. Just got back from Ireland. I submitted my visa application and the waiting game begins. I'm hoping they get back to me soonish, but I am so happy to have it in and out of my hands. I also had the opportunity to do some shadowing while I was there and it's official....I LOVE EMPLOYMENT LAW. That's a sentence I never expected myself to write. It wasn't all business though, I had a wonderful time catching up with friend, Sam's family and most importantly Sam. This whole seeing each other every two months is working out pretty well!
Went on an amazing hike with Sam's mom and brother out in Connemara, so beautiful! And I was in Galway again for St. Patrick's Day, which was actually really fantastic. Normally I am not a fan of the city during any holiday associated with drinking, but this year it was a good crowd. Watched the parade, watched Ireland get totally demolished by Wales in Rugby and then went out for the night with Sam and co. Ran into Sam's middle brother out on the town, which was a bit surreal for me. It's kinda shocking to think that he's all grown up now. Doesn't seem like it's been that long.
Now it's back to work. Counting down the days to the end. I enjoy my job, but some recent issues with a co-worker has made it a bit less pleasant. The weather warmed up this weekend and I was able to go for a bike ride. I saw a beaver in the wild for the first time in my life!!! So cool. I know understand why Sam gets so excited about seeing alligators.
Hope all is well with everyone!
