Boring Update :)

Hi everyone!
You should be so impressed, we are getting better with posts! I know Dad said there was starting to be more and more time in between posts and we realllly are sorry, but we're working on it!

Well this was my first week at the new job. I now work at a women's clothing store on Shop Street called Monsoon. It's literally a 4 minute walk from Katie's store :) I work in the stock room and it's just me in there so I handle all the deliveries everyday and hang the clothes, security tag them, etc. Everyone I work with is (again) soo nice, I lucked out twice! I also get to listen to whatever music I want because I have a radio and can't hear the store music, so Katie is pretty jealous about that. I had a great first week- it's so nice getting out of work while it's still light out! I only work 24 hours a week now, instead of 40, but I get paid more so it's not too shabby!

Last night we changed our clocks, so we are once again 6 hours away from everyone at home. Isn't it weird how countries can just choose when to do that?! Anyway, last night we went to our friend Dermott's house which is just around the corner from us, with some of David's friends and David's band and just hung out. Around 3 we realized we had to spring ahead so it was really 4! The crowd started slowly breaking up after that haha It's so nice though to be able to sleep late and still get so much done during the day, I love weekends now that I have them off! Katie and Sheila and I have been thinking about traveling and have started piecing together a possible trip so that is really exciting.

In other news I hear it's snowing in Chicago and ISU...Sorry guys!! I do love missing Chicago spring 2 years in a row though, the rain doesn't seem so bad compared with snow! I do hope it clears up soon for you though. Tonight I think we're just going to watch a movie and take it easy, work again tomorrow! Being "off the drink" definitely has its perks though, I could really get used to this!

I hope everyone at home is doing well, please take care!! Love you all,
-Erin

  1. HI ERIN.
    HOW DO YOU LIKE IT IN IRELAND? IS IT FUN? IT HAS BEEN COLD HERE, AND IT SNOWED YESTERDAY. I HATE SNOW, AND WISH THAT SPRING WOULD COME!
    SCHOOL HAS BEEN FUN. MY TEACHER IS FUN TOO. WE WERE OFF FOR SPRING BREAK LAST WEEK, AND WE WENT UP TO THE DELLS FOR THE WHOLE WEEK.
    I HOPE YOU HAVE A FUN TIME, AND I MISS YOU!
    LOVE,

  2. Hi Erin, it's me...Jessie :o)
    Are you having a good time in Ireland? We are having so much fun here, but it would be better if you were here with us.
    You are soooo lucky that you got to go to Ireland (mom says that your mom and dad are so cool). I've always wanted to go to Ireland...maybe some day when I graduate college.
    Where are you working, do you like it?
    Soccer is coming up soon, but I hope that I don't start too soon, because there is still snow on the ground.
    I hope you are having a really fun time in Ireland, and I love you and miss you lots!!
    Love,
    Jess
    P.S. Mom and Dad say hi and love you and miss you lots, too!

  3. Hey Jess and Stephen!
    Sorry I didn't see these sooner! It sounds like spring break was a lot of fun in the Dells, I hope it wasn't cold there too! I would be sick of the snow too..that's why I keep coming to Europe! haha The weather here is GREAT right now, nice and sunny and warm so everyone is in a great mood! I am having lots of fun here and don't want to leave yet, but I do miss you guys. Jess, my mom and dad are pretty cool, but ask YOUR mom how Frunk and Frold are doing! Your parents are pretty cool too :) You should definitely go to Ireland one day, just save your money! You'll love it over here. I am working at a clothes store and the people there are so nice, plus I get to buy the clothes for cheaper than everyone else! I miss you tons and hope the snow clears up for soccer! Keep the emails coming, I love them!
    Love,
    Erin
