Hello from Ireland! This week marks an exciting turn of events for us in the Murphy household . . . Hugh is starting a new job with IBM! We have been in Ireland since June of last year and have struggled monetarily the whole time. Due to the economy and the fact that Hugh is a law student at Kings Inns, he has found it very difficult to get a job (he has had millions of interviews though). So this week is a turning point from living off government welfare to being self reliant. As for the rest of the family, Jade will be in a production of Chicken Little in late May (and she is very excited about it), and Lily (who is 8 months old now) is getting her first tooth--which is hell for me--and will be crawling any day now. I am excited to join a gym once Hugh gets his first pay check so I can have some productive "me" time. The weather in Ireland has been beautiful the last couple of weeks so I have hope for a beautiful summer. Once Hugh is done with classes we hope to take a trip to somewhere close by . . . maybe Scotland? Things are definitely looking up! Slán!
