Long Overdue Update

---

Hello, everyone! I am so sorry I haven't been updating this blog. Since I last posted, I survived El Salvador, Belize, and a return trip to Europe to visit friends and "family." Chris returned safely from Afghanistan, and we're now all settled in to our new lives here in Dayton. I am a graduate assistant and full time student at Wright State, and Chris has a rather stressful job on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. We're trying to entertain ourselves here in Western Ohio as best as possible...perhaps we'll have some interesting adventures this summer.

We did manage to find a free week and a half to go back to Europe at the end of March...and this time we had a new travel companion: my brother, Kevin! All three of us had a fantastic trip to Paris and Dublin, with a day trip up to Belfast. Ireland was amazing, and much Guinness was consumed. I won't bore you with all the details, but I will add some of the best photos.

Finally, I have a favor to ask. My blog entry about Malaysian Borneo (during our honeymoon) was nominated for the International Malaysian Tourism Bloggers Conference. Unfortunately, they don't judge on the best entry, just the one that gets the most votes. If you could please take a minute and vote for my blog (you'll need to sign in using Facebook, but they don't annoyingly post anything on your profile), I would appreciate it immensely. If I win, they'll fly me to Kuala Lumpur for the conference and to receive an award from the president of Malaysia. Please click here and find me on page 2 (but hopefully I'll get bumped up to page 1 soon!)

I'm so glad you got to go back as a happy little tribe. Your pictures are awesome! I've been to Howth, and I loved it :) xoxo
