A Long Time Coming - Coming Home

Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. I came home on Friday, and of course i will post it soon, along with pictures (yay!) when I get them off of my camera. The first thing I've got to say is that the computer I'm currently on is my old one, which hasn't had internet in over a year! Matt got a hub for the house so we can all be online at the same time (b/c Mom's got homework and we've got to check schools, jobs, etc.) and I thought I'd hook-up the old one for fun. It works!! Ack, amazing!

Anyway, I came home and it was great. I've gotten most of it written down for posting, but again, it's at the house in Madtown.

Oscar, my beloved fishy, died on Friday morning, 5/12 and I missed saying good-bye to him (I came back that night). Mom felt really bad and so got me a new fishy (along with tank, gravel, water, food, and anything else I wanted really) who is named "Galway Bay", one of the prettiest spots of water in the world. Another would be Lake Mendota. I guess they remind me a lot of each other... no matter what I do or where I go, places in Ireland will remind me of WI and vice versa. Nice to know I'll always have good memories of both!

I got to call the girls in RG today, they all sound happy and excited to hear from me. I lost my postcard (boo) but I'll have to make a new one while here at home. I got a postcard from London today, hooray! I miss them all so much, they make me laugh.

Anyway, I'm going to do something productive now. I think. I'll get those pictures on when I get back to madtown on Sunday.

Love ya lots from the land of Doggie(and Kitty)ville, WI Christi (Mom, Matt, Buddy, Daisy, Galway Bay the fishy, and Carmen)
