Almost Forgot

Matt and I have been in Dublin for about two weeks now, and it has been about four weeks since my last post. So, where to begin?

The last two weeks in Pittsburgh were more than hectic, even with not working. I worked my butt off to finish editing a wedding I photographed in early August and get the images to the couple before leaving. The rest of my time was spent packing, organizing and getting everything in order to leave.

We also had three going away parties in that time, the last of which was the day before we left at North Park. I am so appreciative of all my friends and family who came to the party and gave Matt and I unending support. Having a support network like ours makes this adventure so much easier. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to my family, Matt's family and all our friends. Thank you so much!

After partying and saying our final goodbyes on the 29th, I attempted to sleep that night. That didn't quite work out. I think I managed to get about four hours of sleep.

Monday, August 30 was a crazy, stressful blur, as was the 31st.

As much as I love to travel, I absolutely despise the act of traveling. I hate airports, plane rides, lines, security, more lines, customs, immigration, taxis, all of it. Luckily our trip went smoothly and we arrived safe on the 31st. After our safe arrival is when things began to go downhill. This story is one for another entry though.
