When I first arrived in Armagh, I was extremely anxious and scared. I remember being on the bus and looking out the window, thinking what the hell did I get myself into? Where am I ? Where are all the buildings, people, and traffic pollution? I wanted to get on the first plane ride back to New York before the bus even dropped us off. Now, 3 weeks later, it is the complete opposite feeling. I don’t want to leave, believe or not I don’t miss New York at all. Armagh is absolutely beautiful and very serene. At first the quietness drove me a little crazy, being a city girl and all, but now I have actually grown to enjoy it. The calmness of the town has helped me gain control of anxieties I had dealt with most of my life. Living in Armagh has been an absolute blessing, I love everything about this town, the kind-hearted people, the 7 hills, my “wee” crossfit family, and of course Embers. Armagh has treated me very well and I can’t wait to come back.
