Paul and I in Occoquan, VA

Legum and Norman Bye Bye Party!

Backing up a bit...I decided I needed more money! So after a few months of the property management compnay it was time to move on. So the girls took me out for a few drinks. We went to Pauls pub and drank the night away!

Kristie, Mandi, Anne and Me!

So the last day of the Renaissance Festival is "The Day of Wrong"

You are supposed to dress in something that for you is wrong.

As you can see, I could not stand to go the whole day without a little dancing!

RAVELRY THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!!!

the black sheep of the Knit Wits!

Knit-o-holic!

For those of you who have not yet had a look at the Knit Wits page. Here is what I have been up to. I am trying not to do double posts on the two blogs, but I had to post these. You are not going to believe this but I started this sweater maybe 4 weeks ago. It is going soooo fast! Actually these pictures were taken Saturday night and are already old. I am almost done the sleeves. The decrease portion was started yesterday, and I only have about another 4"s to go. I hope to finish the sleeves tonight. Block them tomorrow. and piece together Wednesday at the next Knit Wits gathering. All that leaves is the collar. Which should also go quick as a 2x2 ribbing for just a few inches. I am soooooo excited about this sweater! It is my first real sweater and as always I can't do anything easy! I like the challenges :-)

Back to Faire!

Yup it's that time of year again! Maryland Renaisance Festival! Here are some pics of me dancing at Faire and with my handsome man in kilt :-)!

Paul's Birthday!

Well we just celebrated Paul's birthday by having a wonderful weekend at the beach in Lewes, DE with our good friends Barb and Carl. Since Paul was traveling in Europe last year for his birthday I didn't get a chance to see him. So I wanted to try and make it a nice birthday this year. With Ren fest coming up I wanted to make sure he was prepared for the drinking it usually in tales. I ordered him a flask from Mulingar Pewter in Ireland. Mulingar is Paul's home town. His mother still lives there. I just thought it would be a little something nice. And Carl helped him out with his first round of scotch. We played on the beach enjoyed the boardwalk and had a wonderful time. Thanks Barb and Carl!!!

Phone Photo Fun!

Amazing work eh!

I caught Bubba!

So two weekends ago dad and I went out to do a little fishing. The day went pretty good! We had caught a few white and yellow perch. Then as usual Stacy lugged in a big old cat fish. Sorry dad! Then I pulled in this beautiful large mouth bass. Yes that's my fish, my dad holding it because I still don't know how to take bass off the hook but that is my fish! As we were not expecting to catch anything like that we had no way of keeping him. So back in the water he went I'll be back when he is a couple inches bigger.

I think he's trying to tell me something....

The latest news....

So here is the new place in Alexandria. It’s pretty nice two bedroom one as a spare room and our room. Paul asked for only one thing, a balcony, and that we have. Till about a week ago we had a great view then all of the sudden this tree grew leaves. I swear it came up over night. All is well. I have started a new job at property management company as a receptionist. It’s fairly close to home and is a very pleasant place to work. Everyone seems extremely nice. It also seems like the kind of place you can move up in relatively quick. So that’s a plus!

Paul is grand. He is working in a pub in Arlington. He seems happy enough. Not as many hours as he would like but I’m thankful for that. With him working nights and me days I usually have a few nights at home by myself. What am I doing with my spare time? Knitting! This little hobby has become a obsession. I am currently trying to get a few friends together to knit a few times each month. Check out the blog to see what I and the “Knit Wit Knitters” have been up to. I added the link to my favorite sites and blogs. That’s about it for now...will try and keep up to date even though there isn’t anything nearly as exciting as when I was in Ireland. Take care!

The new place

It's all over...

Well that's that. Three wonderful months in Ireland! I saw so many beautiful sites and got a chance to see the places Paul is from and the places he has haunted. Back to reality :-( Well at least I brought back a nice parting gift. About 5'9'' maybe 195lbs worth. With a sexy accent and pretty blue eyes. Yes Paul is back in the states. (He must like me or something) Our landing spot is in Alexandria Virginia. Paul is working at a Irish Pub in Arlington and Stacy has just become a part of the working force again in Old Town. Weird being back...it already seems like so long ago that I was in Ireland. But I have wonderful memories that will always be there. Who knows may be back there again someday for a longer stay.
