Oh my gosh, my trip to Ireland was A-MAZING. The first thing I have to say about Ireland is that it is gorgeous, and magical, and COLD. I dressed like the first picture EVERYDAY. Selina, I definitely recommend a summer visit. Secondly, John’s family is so great! They treated me like one of the family. They did this by constantly stuffing me with food, chocolate, and drinks. It was heaven. I wish I’d taken more food pictures but I ate everything before I got the chance. Sorry Sarah! And now for John’s Uncle Brian. He was hilarious. He talked about a million words a minute and had such great stories. I’m really glad I got to meet him. I just hope I never have to get into a car with him again! I’m so glad I got to go. Thank you John (and the rest of the Harneys) for such a fantastic Christmas! <3

I love that it is the embarrassment that will get the better of you when you steal gas…

thanks so much for this entertaining and highly educational (irish history what!) post. i would like to second the suggestion that jen write her side of things, esp. the part about cray cray uncle brian and his methods of interrogation (fear via threat of car crash).

Yes, Tommy is doing pretty well in China. He gets back on Thursday night. The weather was super cold in Beijing (low of about 0 degrees!) but he seemed to enjoy it. Now he is in Shanghai where its warmer. Luckily he has had pretty good experiences with the food so far.

How great! What beautiful pics, and of course my favorite is the ADORABLE one of Jen all wrapped up and chilly. Well, that’s tied with the LEPRECHAUNETTE! tote bag. Because why does that exist?

We’re happy to have you both back Stateside!

Hi Selina! I had no idea Tommy was in China. How is he getting on?

I love Galway. You have to go! Also, this winter was especially cold. It’s normally not too bad!
