Happy St. Patrick's Day

Next to Christmas - this is one of my most favorite days of the year! 

Nothing better than a sea o' green in the streets!  The months I spent in Ireland were truly some of the most fun days I have had so far in my life and today reminds me of everything I got to experience in Eire. 

The picture below has a story to it.  This was from when we were on the Aran Islands and there were a bunch of us who walked to the cliffs to see the sunset.  We took turns taking pictures overlooking the water and then took a couple group shots.  Normally - I loathe taking a picture by myself.  I hate awkwardly standing - not sure where to put my hands, etc.  But I really wanted to get a picture with the stone walls so I just sucked it up.  After the picture was taken, and thanks to the invention of digital cameras, I got made fun of for the rest of the night for this J-Crew-esque catalog shot.  

Cool sweater around the shouders, Kathryn.  Even better pose! 

But naturally - I am wearing green -  as I am convinced every Irish person looks great in green - and the stone walls really are awesome! So the picture was worth taking. :)

And here's an Irish blessing - as everyone is Irish today:

"May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face,  the rain fall softly upon your fields, and my God hold you in the palm of his hands."

Now - go do a jig! :)
