Greetings From Scotland and Ireland

Shandelle and I are now in Scotland and Ireland for a much-needed vacation. It's been a great week+ so far, and I'm looking forward to finishing things off on a nice note as we fly out Sunday.

Things have been great over here. Hunter's wedding was perhaps the most entertaining wedding I've attended in a long time with funniest cast of characters. They were married in a 100+ year old church in a town in the mountains south of Dublin. It's the site of a monastery city that dated back to the 6th century AD. That kind of age just doesn't happen in Texas.

We're currently in Edinburg, Scotland, UK. I was originally very skeptical as to the point of flying over here (why not just stay in Ireland the whole time?), but have been won over. The flight itself from Dublin was only like $50 roundtrip on RyanAir. And, apart from the exorbitantly expensive accomodation rates, I've been happy with everything. The two itself is almost all stone and the castle in the center is fantastic. The Scots are also putting on the Festival, which happens all month and has shows out the wazoo. Terrific.
