London Reunion

The time has come for school to start......yuck.
BUT this means perfect time for a London Reunion! I can't wait to see all of my friends that I share so many fabulous memories with! The next reunion just might have to be in London...

Starstruck

I have had quite a celeb filled three days in London.

DAY 1: I saw David Beckham make an appearance at Selfridges.

DAY 2: Saw Jude Law for the second time and spoke to him. This is a picture of my gorgeous friend Laura with her arm around Jude's back. Definitely a night to remember.

DAY 3: Get a smile and wave from Prince Harry. Yes I do have our entire royal wedding planned.

I'm getting culturated

One of my friends invented the word culturated to describe how much we are seeing and learning in London. I have officially added it to my dictionary.
I got to see a ballet this week and loved it! I could not believe I was at the Royal Opera House in London!

Skoodle

Probably the most exciting week of my life...

Underwhelming...to see how small Stonehenge looks from the road...overwhelming to touch the rocks at Stonehenge and see that it is really huge!

Wells Cathedral may sound boring, but was so stunningly gorgeous!

Just call me a Jane Austen crazy, but seeing Stourhead (from the movie Pride and Prejudice) was such a highlight! It was prettier than the movie. So amazing that I might have said I would say yes to 99% of people that asked me to marry them there :)

My Favorite City

I love seeing these everywhere.

I feel like I have seen so much and I've only been here for a week! I went and saw Joseph with Jimmy Fallon as the lead, just kidding he just looked exactly like him. It was such a fun show. Then went to another show called A View From the Bridge. Definitely more on the serious dramatic side.

I might have already gone shopping and got some new clothes too...

And went to 2 amazingly old, delicious pubs.

Plus visited my favorite prince at Buckingham Palace.

But, my favorite part was singing caraeoke with the largest group of people ever in Trafalgar Square and then getting a surprise sing-a-long with Pink last night! It was all part of filming for a huge commercial they were filming for T-mobile!

My new home...

British Airways
I loved it. So deluxe, except for the lady that had a seizure in front of me. my favorite part? they gave me a toothbrush and socks.
My real new home is the BYU London Center. It is way prettier than I thought it would be. I am sharing a room with 14 girls and sleeping in a bunk bed. It rocks.
I have already taken the tube to a ton of fun places....Yesterday we went to Portabello Road and Whitleys. Then we decided to go look at the Tower of London and walk across the bridge. It is gorgeous!
Today we went to the Hyde Park Chapel and then Brandt, Mari, and I took a double decker bus to Trafalgar Square and saw 35,000 people run in the London marathon. Seriously inspiring.
Cheerio
