I miss you

My First Christmas In Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing

I know how much you miss me
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year

I sent you each a special gift
From my heavenly home above
I sent you each a memory of my undying love

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told

Please love and keep each other
As my Father said to do
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you

So have a Merry Christmas
And wipe away that tear:
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year!

I miss you Austin Rae Hirschi 

I am loving the song Bridges and Balloons by Joanna Newsom today!! Check it out on my playlist below!

Ireland

Happiness

The Ballynahinch Castle Hotel (this is where the cast and crew stayed during the filming of Marley And Me)

They are seriously everywhere along the side of the road

Connemara

King and Queen

The view of the cathedral from the window of our B&B

Blarney Castles beautiful grounds

Kissing the Blarney

Receiving the gift of gab

Only in Ireland can they add a shamrock while pouring your Guinness

My favorite statue

Aww so sweet

Not sure how true this claim is haha

Outside the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin

In the gravity bar at the very top of the Guinness Storehouse. You get a 360 degree view of Dublin!

Ireland was the perfect way to finish off this year!  We stayed in some of the most wonderful castle hotels and had some of the sweetest hosts at our B&B's! The little mishaps (unleaded in a diesel and a flat tire in the middle of the night on a narrow two way street) only made the trip that much more fun to remember!
