Luck of the Irish

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Today has to be one of my most favorite holidays. I am Irish, I love anything Irish, and if there is a reason to drink, I'll take it! We had a pretty busy day today, between school, running errands, getting a run in in this gorgeous weather, and then classwork. Have no fear though...there will be time for drinks! If my husband is at class and I am by myself, does this qualify me for AA?

This St. Patrick's Day, I am lucky enough to have my husband home, I think that makes me the luckiest Irish girl in the world. A friend of ours recently deployed to A-stan, and left a wife and two year old son. We are friends on FB, and every time I see a post about how she misses her husband, or how excited she was to talk to him, my heart breaks. I am a very lucky to have him home and not have to worry every night....at least for now.

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
- Irish Blessing
