The Luck of the Irish

I knew St. Patricks day was going to be a big deal this year because I'm married to an "Irishman" and all, but I was so happy when I found out that mom and Jenna were coming! It was Jenna's first trip this far away from home and first trip on a plane. I'm so glad that she mustered up the courage to come this far to see me & Andrew. We had so much fun even though I had to work some and Andrew is still on nights this month.






Mom and Jenna spent Tuesday night at the mall while I was working, and found out just how interesting Phoenix teenagers are! They are definitely a different breed! They're actually a little scary! Wednesday was St. Patricks day and more importantly...Jenna turned 12! We spent all day baking/decorating her cake, playing the wii, swimming, and later that night we went to Castles and Coasters to play putt-putt. I was the only one who didn't get a hole-in-one. Unfortunately, Andrew was MIA. I know he would have had fun there! After putt-putt, we dined at Texas Roadhouse where Jenna had to get on a saddle in order to receive her birthday ice cream sundae! The rest of the week we chilled at the pool and enjoyed each others company. I love having pieces of home here with me and am looking forward to more visits!
