We are Back

Murray and I just got back from our annual mission trip to Ireland.  This year we went a few days early to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in Italy!  Both parts of the trip were just great!  Right now I can hardly keep my eyes open.  I am trying to stay up long enough tonight so that I don't wake up at 3:00 a.m.  Soon I will share pictures from both parts of the trip.

But for now, I just wanted to share one major accomplishment (that maybe made Murray love me a little bit more, not really, but maybe).  I "carried on" for the entire trip!  That is right, 2 weeks away, 2 totally different climates and only one carry on bag!

Now it did mean that my purse was packed all the way to the brim (coming home I could barely get my purse zipped).

and looked like a traveling pharmacy.  But I did it.

Murray is so proud of this picture.  Walking right past the luggage carousel and not having to stop.  A few of our friends have said that Murray has "carry on" righteousness (his biggest accomplishment is carrying on to China).  I really never thought I could do it for this trip, but honestly I can say I had exactly what I needed (even clothes to run in)!

Stay tuned for details from the trip...
