Every Day Life:
This is where it’s at! I enjoy all the lunches, coffees, dinners, drinks, outings and events with family and friends – especially Sunday coffees with my sisters, Gaelic football watching and playing, anytime Hofbrauhaus, Maur and Ry’s fun parties like Oktoberfestifall, and a beautiful afternoon at a Steelers game with my Mom; and then there's teaching CCD, helping with youth group, Thursday lunches reading books with Alize, coaching softball and basketball, playing sports with my friends, and my enjoyable and rewarding job.
