Another Great Weekend

With this post, I can finally say we are largely caught up on the major events in our lives. Luckily, our October was fairly quiet and uneventful. Now I can start giving more regular updates and thoughts on current experiences, rather than reminiscing on trips that occured weeks in the past.
Toward the end of the month, we distracted ourselves from the realities of the approaching winter with a quick trip to Glasgow, Scotland. The last time we visited Scotland, we decided to return to catch a Celtics football match. We were finally able to get there last weekend. Our friend Des played host yet again for us (we really owe him now). We were also joined by Ismet, who we visited in Cyprus, but is actually living in London. Nate, Ismet and Des all knew each other back in the states when they worked on the same client in the small town of Decatur Illinois. Are you confused yet?
Anyway, it was a fast but fun weekend. Nate and I were delighted to watch a match that included a win for the team we supported! We celebrated the victory with a short pub crawl that evening, where my wild and crazy husband climbed a pole in a bar to touch the ceiling, and later nearly killed Ismet by running him down the street in an abandoned shopping cart. Oh the memories! The guys were thankful that I'd forgotten my camera, preventing any documentation of their various hijinks.
So, after a sleepy Sunday of maxing and relaxing, we returned to Dublin, ready to face the week yet again. Maybe we'll bring some of the good fortune that the Celtics are enjoying back to the Irish football team - here's for hoping!
