Ireland, Here We Come!

Last night when hubs got home from work he surprised me by saying he was taking today off! He worked all day on Saturday and Sunday last week, so he was able to have a "flex day" today. We slept in, watched some shows, and just enjoyed being with each other. I always tease him that his "vacation self" is so much more fun, but that's because vacations are just so enjoyable and not as stressful as the daily grind.

I did a ton of laundry today and finally packed my bag for our trip to Ireland. I am not a light packer, but I was really proud of myself because I actually put thought into packing outfits and things that go together rather than just throwing in random stuff. I know it will be rainy and not super warm while we are there, so I packed a lot of layered outfits so that I will be warm enough. We are only taking my husband's computer, so I don't know if I will post anything while I am there. If I do, it will most likely be to my other blog, but I will try to post some pics/stories here as well. I am going to feel so naked without my own computer! Our flight leaves tomorrow at 6:30 am, but we are about to go out (it's 9:00 right now) because we were invited to a going away party for someone from my husband's office. We fly from to Zurich then from Zurich to Dublin.

I can't remember if I posted a picture of my second quilt block type, but I made the second one yesterday.

It is so hard for me to picture what this will turn out like once the different quilt blocks are all put together. The fabrics all go together so well, so I am hoping the final product is super cute. The other fabric I picked out (which is the cutest one) will be another block type. That fabric has animals on it and there won't be any design, just squares of that fabric because it is already really cute. I can't wait until I am finished. I enjoy working on the quilt, but I just want to see the outcome so badly that I feel like I will enjoy having the end product and being able to look at it more than I enjoy working on getting it finished!

Now I am off to enjoy spring break!
