Splashing In Puddles of Sand

TYRONE WIN THE ALL IRELAND!!!!

On Sunday Tyrone beat Kerry to win their second All Ireland. It was an amazing game....and the screaming coming from one room of adults and one room of kids made all 73 minutes ever more intense!
It's nice to feel the feeling of having a family. I guess for so long I have never felt like I fit in anywhere. In Honduras I felt Irish, in Ireland I was well...confused. I still get confused when people ask me where I am from. I say Dublin and they ask where and I explain that I used to live in Glenageary but now I'm living closer to the city centre...and then they ask what school I went to and in comes the 'i'm also from Honduras so I went to high school there' and then every once in a while I get 'I detect a bit of a northern accent' and I go into 'yeah my mum's from the north'....ahhh! it's confusing! And I know it makes my story special and it's a lot cooler than just being from one place...but it's left me with this complex of not being able to fit in anywhere.

But at times like Sunday when I am with my whole family it is nice. It reminds me that sometimes I do belong. I belong to a family, an extended one that I feel comfortable with and can joke around with. It's somewhere where everyone knows my history, they know where I am from and I dont have to get confused explaining who I am. And for at least one hour, I was from tyrone...only from tyrone. Never mind Honduras and Dublin and everything else...I was a Tyrone supporter and that is all that mattered!

Here is what I want my future babies to look like! He's my baby cousin Charlie...he is 15 months now and the most adorable thing you could EVER see!!! I miss him! I wish he lived with me! He is just so cute and when you make him smile you cant help but smiling as well because he is just SOOO adorable and he makes you wnat to steal him and take him home with you!!!!!!! The pictures dont do him justice because the kid is adorable...lets just say I wish I wasn't his cousin and I wasn't 20 years older than him (wow how old do I feel) because he's gonna be hot!
