ireland last weekend with heather, cody and brad was one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen. it was the only country i have been to where i was naturally inclined to get out of the city and see the countryside. on friday we started out in cork where we flew in to and quickly moved on from there to killarney. killarney was an adorable ( Read more... )

so i figured it would be a good idea to update this thing before i go away again. london was absolutely incredible. heather and i went just the 2 of us, and it was a nice getaway from big groups and the guys (no that we dont love them!) i have dreamt about going there since i was a little girl and it fulfilled all my expectations. it was a busy, ( Read more... )
