One Year Ago...

By Leslie Rupiper

I got a card today from my friend, Jenni.  It was a cute, inspirational card, and her reason for sending it to me was because one year ago this week, we were on a trip to Ireland.  Today, my co-anchor, Brian Allen, left for his trip to Italy.  In the past weeks I've been thinking a lot about my Ireland trip.  There's just something about the fall weather that reminds me of those cool days and the pretty scenery we saw every day of that trip.

I remember in the days leading up to the trip itself, I was actually pretty nervous about it.  I'd never been out of the country before, so I was concerned about the long flight.  Everyone kept telling me how much fun I would have, and even though I was so excited to see Ireland, I wondered if I would even survive the trip over there!  I talked with Brian this week about his upcoming trip and he didn't harbor any of the concerns I did before mine.  So much time I spent worrying about something that in the end, turned out to be so wonderful. Lesson learned, I guess.

So, in the next 2 weeks while Brian is gone, I'll be thinking about how much fun he's having in Italy.  I am sure it will be as enjoyable as my trip to Ireland. Next year at this time, I'm sure he'll be recalling happy memories of a trip he'll never forget, just like I am this week.
