I sent out an email to my father's side of the family telling them the good news and I am overwhelmed by the response. My Uncle Mike (Dad's older brother), who is a pilot, sent me his and Aunt Cheryl's love and offered to try and upgrade my flight for when I go...he's talking Business Class OH YEAH! My Uncle Dan (Dad's younger brother) is a professor at California State University in Long Beach and he goes to Ireland at least once every year with a class for a semester to study the literary history (I believe, I'm not completely sure but i know its for Irish literature). Anywho, he sent me an AMAZING book list of fiction, history, poetry, and a nice movie list too. Everyone has just been amazing and super supportive! I am so thankful for a family like mine.
Ivan mailed my contract which I should get in few more days. Once I to sign that I can then get my Visa all set up and ready for my travels.
Before I leave for those who read and are willing please pray for me...
- School is ending and I am very anxious to be done. Pray for me to focus and keep learning.
- Work is very frusterating for me. Pray for me to keep heart and my focus on my finacial goals ahead.
- My grandfather is not doing well. He keeps getting sick and he is still very weak. I am scared for him and my grandma. Keep them and my whole family in your thoughts and prayers.
