June 26, 2018 - The Wheaton Takeover

My Tenerife Takeover. I visited Tenerife (the largest island of the Spanish Canary Islands) with my family to celebrate the beginning of summer and two birthdays-mine and my dad's.

June 26, 2018

I visited Tenerife (the largest island of the Spanish Canary Islands) with my family to celebrate the beginning of summer and two birthdays-mine and my dad’s. Day One On day one we went to a restaurant and ate good food. We also went to the beach which was filled with black sand from the volcanoes […]

I am the main blogger of our little corner of the internet. Our family temporarily relocated to Dublin, Ireland from Houston, Texas. We are traveling the world, learning and experiencing new things everyday and loving life one day at a time. We started this blog to share our travel experiences, experiences living as American expats in Ireland, lessons learned along the way and glimpses into our crazy life with our family and friends.

The Glitter Princess carved this pumpkin with a visiting friend. She had been begging to carve one and carving pumpkins is completely out of my comfort zone. So, thank God for friends.🎃Weird Fact About Me: I have called Bigg Dogg “Pumpkin” since birth. He still lets me call him that if it’s just the 4 of us. I wanted to post him today but he said yesterday was enough 🙄. #Day11#pumpkin #novtopadc #wheatontakeover #wheatonsindublin

Bigg Dogg and his teammates played four #rugby matches today and won them all. The second video is when he actually scored his second try (similar to a touchdown for my American homies) of the day. And there’s no school tomorrow so Bigg Dogg is living his best life. Although, he was knocked out at 8:30pm and couldn’t even take advantage of staying up a little later 🤦🏽‍♀️. #wheatontakeover #wheatonsindublin

Bigg Dogg is obviously #brown from head to toe. But, I snapped this pic because he picked up too much brown mud today 🙄. We will have fun attempting to get this jersey clean.

Earlier this week, I took a tour of the @jameson_ireland distillery with @thegransberry. UIt was a cool tour and I learned a thing or two. 🥃
Most importantly, I learned that whiskey and especially scotch will make you grow hairs on your chest instantly. And whiskey, ginger ale and lime make a nice cocktail that will make you feel VERY cozy sans the chest hair.

🥼Going to the doctor’s office in #Ireland is an entire experience like no other. I needed to obtain a doctor’s referral to schedule some testing. At the conclusion of the testing, the doctor pulled out a pen and letterhead and started writing my referral. 😳 She literally WROTE the referral by hand and handed it to me. There is no computer in her office, all the notes are taken by hand and kept on file in an old school file cabinet. I’ve heard from friends in the medical field that this method actually makes you stop, think and spend quality time with the patient. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But, what I do know is that the doctor gave me a handwritten referral in 2019.

☘️This year we have only had one visitor and an unexpected one at that. We had so much fun hanging out in #London at the NFL football game and then hitting up the #Dublin streets. @thegransberry is not only my #friend but she’s my bible study sister, sorority sister and lawyer (when I need it). So, I’d say, it’s best that I keep her around 😉. 🏈Side Note: @thegransberry is the friend that breathes football (and I most definitely don’t) and aggressively told me that I needed to put on my ticket lanyard and make it visible, asked if I was wearing #HoustonTexans gear, told me that I I needed to represent #Houston by throwing up the 🤘🏽, taught the Glitter Princess how to represent and then told me that her phone was the designated one to take pictures because it was newer. 🙄🤷🏽‍♀️ #Day7 #friends #novtopadc #wheatontakeover #wheatonsindublin
