Quite a bit has happened within the last few weeks, so I thought it’s due for a little life update. I recently came back from a two week trip in Ireland and for those of you who’ve been following along on my Instagram know …….I’m now ENGAGED!
It’s pretty surreal, exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. I also feel more like a proper adult even though I struggle with basic life skills on a daily basis. My Fiance (side note: I feel really weird / fancy saying this and also sound obnoxious, but I’ll go with it) Alex, proposed to me in Ireland where we met. Five years ago, we were both American students studying abroad at the University of Limerick in Limerick, Ireland. We of course met at one of the pubs on campus and the rest is history.
Alex and I visited the UL the first day we got to Ireland because we both hadn’t been back since and couldn’t wait another day. It was a beautiful Friday evening and he proposed to me as the sun was setting. It was a perfect moment and yes this is really cheesy, I know. I will say one of the best and most memorable moments of it all was after he proposed, we decided a celebratory drink was in order and went back to the pub where we met. When we walked in, the two seats that we sat in and met for the first time were open. So five years later (almost to the exact date), we got to sit in the same chairs at the same pub in Ireland and celebrate our engagement. Pretty cool, right? I’ll end the sappy and annoying story there, but I’m excited to share the wedding process so there will be more to come on that!
You’ll also be seeing a couple of posts on the Ireland trip so stay tuned. In other news, I’ve created an updated playlist for the Fall season to get me in the cozy tea drinking mood. Listen away :
