I am going to IRELAND! MY heart wants to jump up and down while I type. MY husband told me yesterday he was a millimeter short of insisting I go with my mom and daughter in the fall. He informed it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. My mom's dad's family (Grandpa) is from Northern Ireland. We will get to spend time in both Irelands! ! This is my mom's last trip to Ireland, she says. Dear husband said he wouldn't make me, he knew I wanted to go. He knows I don't want to use money we were setting aside for house stuff. He knows this might be the only opportunity I ever have. He told me, the house stuff will get done but if I don't go now, I may never go. He was a millimeter short of insisting. He told me he wouldn't make me go. He is going to take 9 days from work to care for the other kiddos. The travel agent said all 3 of us would be able to room together. That cinched the deal for my husband. Because I am the wife that I am, I will let my husband have his way. It is important for them to win and be right on occassion! Hee Hee. I am going to Ireland! ! !
