Happy Birthday Mary!!!

I am wishing pretty badly that I was already moved to England today. I imagine hopping onto a boat and scooting over to Ireland where I would drop in on the first pub I see and just live up the lively spirit of St. Patty's Day where it all began. So, those of you who know me are thinking, um, Haley, you don't really drink except on rare occasions and certainly not nasty beer. Well, so what! I think the spirit of it all would be marvelous, kinda like being in New Orleans on Marti Gras, only without the vulgarity and complete nastiness, ok, so maybe thats a bad comparison but I think you get the picture.

We got the official nod that Bryon's first day of work will be May 26th! We will be heading over sometime before that and we're still waiting on the exact timeline from here on out. I was talking to Bryon this morning about it all and realized that I am 100% excited now about the move. Before I was like 30% terrified but that 30% has almost completely gone away and I'm bubbling over with excitement.

On a side note, Bryon and I went out last night on our second date since Molly was born. Both dates have been here in Shelby when my parents volunteered to babysit Molly to give us time to ourselves. Those two dates have meant so much to us and we are so grateful to you both for giving us that time together. I cherish dates and alone time so much more now that I ever did. When your dating someone, you can sometimes actually get tired of organized dates, movies, etc but take it from me, they are very special. Having a child changes everything.

Oh, one more thing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MARYYYYY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. My incredible sister, turns 23 today. She has been through so much in her life and is truly an incredible woman who I have so much respect and love for. You deserve every bit of happiness today and I can't wait to celebrate with you tonight. I love you sister, so much....
