France!!

Last week my family and I were able to visit France for the first time since we lived there!!! It was amazing we had beautiful weather, and we're able to see old friends and be total tourists all over again! The first day we got there I was able to see my 2 good friends from 6th grade, Julie and Emily it was a blast and as ended up having a sleepover that night ;) the next day we went to have breakfast with some old friends who were our neighbors. Okay there house was amazing! It was quite tall but was decorated so nice! I kinda just wanted to move right in with them While we were in France we were able to see my "sister" Marie who had lived with us for a few months a few years ago and was able to spend some time with her which was grand! We were also able to go see all of our favorite sites! I forgot how much I absolutely adore that beautiful country and food ;)

!!!!Hunger Games!!!!!

This was probably the best movie I have ever seen!!! It was absolutely amazing and the actors were very good ( and nit to mention attractive) I loved it! And yes I cried, well more like sobbed most of the movie! I went with my friends from school and Jesse!!

Fashion Show

I was in a fashion show that my school put on for a charity. It was directed by a fashion show director lady. We had practices to practice our walk and routine. At first I thought u was going to die in the heels but after ALOT of practice I am now a pro;) it was such a blast we got our hair done at places in town and our makeup done and we had to model certain companies clothes, I kind of really felt like a model having to get all the hair and makeup done haha! It was so fun! And it was a really good way for me to make some new friends! Sorry there are so many pictures!

Adare

Today my family went on an adventure to Adare a very cute little village just a 15 min drive from where we live in Kildimo. We first went to an estate called the Adare Manor the garden kind of looked like Versailles but smaller it was surrounded by a golf course. When we went in we were in the ZAGGERWAGON and the guy just waves us through an when we asked my mom why he didn't stop us she said they know this car and know that we have stayed here. Felt pretty cool for a bit;) we went inside the hotel and coffee and tea area it was very cute and cozy looking. Then we went on an adventure walk through the garden seriously felt like I was in Harry Potter it was so cool!! We headed into ye really town of Adare, we jut looked in shops and walked around (in the freezing cold) we walked througha park and there were these boys cat calling at Jesse and I awkward moment! Haha

A little too cute

Today Jesse decided we needed to do something since we didn't have school so we decided to take pics (typical) so we got all ready and went off to find a good place. We found an old house and took some there. So here they are.

Hurling

Hurling is a sport here in Ireland (not lingo for throwing up) its one of the fastest moving sports in the world I think. You should all look it up on YouTube it's crazy to watch, they are so fast and all they wear are helmets. It's a sport where you have this ax looking stick and a hard ball almost like a baseball and you can carry it, hit it, kick it, or hit it like a golf ball it's a crazy mix between lacrosse, baseball, soccer and golf and probs more that I just don't know of. Anyway my family went to a hurling match I didn't understand the full concept of the game but it was still really fun to watch! The boys are also on a hurling team so they are loving this kind of stuff!

Let's play some RUGBY

Today there was a rugby match for our school. It was an hour after school so my friends and I went to the Crescent which is the mall for about an hour. We went and ate lunch at a cute little diner which I am for getting the name of at the moment but I have never heard of it, and ate and hung out there for a bit. It was good ( but slightly over priced) im just saying :). after lunch we walked around the mall and went and bought some face paint, we painted our lips and CCC on our cheeks it stands for Crescent Comprehensive College. We just have such school spirit we painted our faces, and then headed toward the rugby match. It was pretty cold and I was in my uniform still and only had my jumper and no jacket so yes I was pretty cold actually I was freezing. watching the match was fun and very different. the spectating situation was weird they had this metal bar that you stood behind and there were no seats or benches or anything you could stand or sit on, not that you would sit anyway haha, they also had a MESS type thing in the middle of the group but it was only boys. weird.i caught on to how the game was played pretty quickly because of FOOTBALL (which I miss) we ended up losing the game but it was fun to watch!

This Massive Hair seriously blocked most of my view, it doesn't look that big, but its deceiving you. this does not even compare to actual size it stuck out like a cone or something.

It started to get really windy on the way to the match.

Painting faces!
