ONE GIGANTIC POST TO CATCH UP -A New Chapter...

Living in London was a dream come true! A dream that lasted 4 glorious months and in those 4 months I made memories and friends I will never forget! I know what a blessing it was to be there and see the enchanting places and things that I did. I miss London <3 It was such a special chapter in my life. That is what I have been thinking of a lot lately- Life is a fairy tale story and each chapter brings new lessons, experiences and adventures. As one chapter closed in London, another opened this summer<3 

My Adventures so far this Summer:

I've made a few new Wonderful friends <3 

 Jordan and I took a super fun road trip to Iddeehoo to see

 my best friend Mrs.Brittany Marie Olsen.

I've Played The Dating Game <3

I was a counselor at girls camp :)

After a trip to portland for my old roommate Kimmie's wedding, I had my best friend/ cousin Michael move in with me!

So far this summer has been incredible, and its not even half way yet <3 

I am loving this chapter- beach days and tanning, reading by the pool, swimming, playing at Disneyland, movie nights, hanging with friends, baking cupcakes, spending time with my family, laughing  a lot, lunch dates and photo shoots! Everyday is an adventure! 

Maybe its all this sunshine, but I love summer and Life is Good!

Stratford Upon Avon

Stratford Upon Avon was our trip this past week and it was so so fun! We went to Mary Arden's Farm and got to do all the typical farm chores like splitting wood, churning butter and tending to the animals. The bird trainer gave us a show too with Angus the owl. I even put on the black glove and held a piece of raw meat and that owl flew up and perched itself on my arm!Can you believe it  I held that owl and didn't even get scared! Well I couldn't. It was so neat. Then we went to Ann Hathaway's cottage. It was s darling, with it's thatched roof and garden full of new blooming flowers. Then we went to Shakespeares birthplace and that evening went to a show. We saw The Tempest.  It was an  South African i therenfluenced adaption of the play! It was incredible. I totally loved how they used elements of  that culture and how surprisingly well it fit. It was similar to the elements of The Lion King stage production in the music and costumes and ect. combined with Shakespeare's brilliant writing. It was likeGilligans Island landed in South Africa and throw in some ghosts, spirits and romance and you have our show. And Ferdinand lets just say he was well extremely attractive. I'd take him to the temple. The next day we went to Blenhiem Palace. It was the must beautiful palace that we have visited so far. They just wrapped shooting on The Young Victoria there. It was so pretty. I was kicking myself the whole trip for forgetting my battery in my camera. It was really cool. We went on the tour of the palace and then went to he Butterfly House. It was a greenhouse where tons and tons of butterflies were flying around and we could just stand there in the greenhouse and watch the pretty butterflies. Then we did the giant Blenhiem Maze! It was so fun good thing we all stuck together because we almost never got out! This was such a neat trip! Once again I couldn't happier or feel more blessed with everything I get to see.

This is pretty typical of me on the coach rides hahah photo thanks to Patrice hahah

Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle was one of my favorite place that I have seen so far it was truly breath taking. we stopped in to say hello to Her majesty  the boys and had quite a lovely visit. I loved this castle and all its history and th and how it looked like it really did pop right out of a fairy tale. It was so neat to see the place that queen calls home. I was totally blown away; it felt surreal. We walked through the long banquet room where all the heads of state from so many countries have come together. I looked out on of the windows and our guide told me that the room I was looking at wa she Queen's reading parlour. I couldn't even imagine Her Royal Highness in her slippers, sipping tea and curling up with a copy her favorite book. 

Afterward we met the BEST guard in the all the royal army!  When a group of us walked up to us to take a picture with him we were standing awkwardly far and so I just said "can we touch you?" and he answered! He said "if you want...". So we all cuddled up next to him and took our picture hahah. Then we asked him how old he was and if he liked his job and he said he was 19 and that" its a top job, definetaly a top job". Then when he did his little stomp-switch the arm thats holding the gun-kick-stomp thing I was smiling so big at him and he was trying unsuccessfully with all his might to hold back a smile. It was quite funny to watch. After we all took individual picture with the him Erin asked " are allowed to talk to us?" and he just goes "well I'm already in s**t for this anyway" hahahahahha can you believe it? They say those guards are unbreakable they don't stand a chance against the girls form the BYU London Centre. He really was so fun and adourable and he winked at me as we walked away!
