Another Year in the Books

Happy New Year from us!!
We enjoyed a very low key night with some very good friends. I don't really have any new goals or resolutions this year. 

I will always want to workout/ run more. I bought a year membership to Jazzercise last month and I started going right after work. 

We are still trying to cut out processed foods. I joined 100 Days of Real Food's 14 week mini-challenge. Each week is a small step towards eating cleaner. The first week is eating enough fruits and veggies. I've been reading labels more and noticing how many chemicals and artificial flavors we are putting in our bodies. I want to start making homemade and freezing for quick uses. I made homemade cream of mushroom. It was so easy and really good. It's also cheaper than the canned stuff. 

We have a few exciting things planned for this year. We will be on our way to Ireland in 10 short weeks. Once we get back we are going to start trying to have a baby!  I know that doesn't always go as planned, but I'd really like if it happened in the summer. That would let me have maternity leave at work along with summer break to stay home. 

Hope you enjoyed your New Year! May the year bring you many blessings.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey!

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...
