GOOD MORNING :)

hi guys! so its 6:15 AM and we are ready to go! breakfast is being served early for us and the bus comes at 7! off to the airport yet again. i feel like the last time we were there was months ago. i look back at all my blogs and cant believe what i have been through in 3 short weeks. the theme of this trip seemed to be murphy's law...lets hope that changes today...all that can go wrong, WILL TURN OUT RIGHT! haha anyway, i have a mixture of emotions today. im so sad to be leaving a place i have ended up loving, but am SO overwhelmingly excited to get to that airport and see my mom and dad. 

last night was a lot of fun. we had dinner at a traditional irish place and met everyone in the group for drinks at Temple Bar at 7 :) it was nice to get everyone together one last time...before the big travel day. after drinks we came back to the room and me, brittney, maddy, katie, maritza, megan and stacy all watched mama mia and ate snacks. we were all in there and brittney said, "this is exactly what i imagined my last night in ireland being like." and we all couldnt help but agree. after the movie we finished packing and sat there realizing that this really is our LAST night. 

this morning we all got up with ease. i think everyone is finally ready to be home. after drama, fun, laughs and tears we have all grown a little bit closer together and learned a lot. i have experienced my first world travel and i know this is just the beginning :) 

i keep thinking about that play we went to and how the message simply says, "GOD WINS." I think that is another theme of this trip. through everything that went wrong it was always okay in the end. i just wanna thank HIM for it all, especially the strength he gave me when all i wanted was to be home...i knew i would be eventually. i enjoyed EVERY minute and well, now we are 'on the road again!' see you all so soon. 

I CANT WAIT.
