I suppose my love for Ireland started when I was about 16 and watched the film ‘Circle of Friends’ starring Chris O’Donnell & Minnie Driver for the first time. The movie is based off the novel of the same title written by Maeve Binchy and it set the stage for my Irish obsession. I’m not sure if it was the accents (the Irish accent is the sexiest let’s be honest), the cosy village life portrayed or maybe just a familiarity I suddenly felt for the country. Who knows, I gave up trying to figure it out years ago! Either way, my Mom and Stepdad (Chip) knew I loved all things Irish and had even planned on sending me on a trip to Ireland had I done well at school my senior year of high school… this was unknown to me and wasn’t revealed to me until after I graduated. Thanks guys.
