London Calling... (UPDATED)

Just had to do a quick update (and it's a little late, sorry) to tell y'all that I got my tickets to England!! Hooray!!! :D I am headed over to see my honey in less than three weeks and can't even convey how beyond excited I am! I leave on the 20th of October, arriving there the morning of the 21st. Then I get to enjoy ten whole days with the love of my life before coming home on the 31st. I'm flying out of SLC so I have to drive there, which is a shame but the cheapest and easiest option. We ended up getting tickets for about $740, which is pretty damn good. :) Chris' mom was amazing enough to let us put the flight on her card and pay her back over the next couple of months.

I'm really so super excited! We are going to spend the first weekend together around Eastleigh, and I'll get to meet all of his friends. Then on Monday we are off to Cornwall with his family for the week. On Friday we will head back to Eastleigh and Saturday morning we will go explore London for the day and stay there that night, with my flight departing the next morning. I'm pretty sure leaving is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done, but the fact that we will be reunited in January (instead of April) should at least serve as a small comfort.

Oh, and to those of you who requested a picture of Chris...I keep forgetting to ask his permission to post one. :P So I will check with him tomorrow and as long as it's fine, I'll add a couple pictures to this post then.

Speaking of pictures, I also promise plenty of pictures of England when I return! For those of you a bit anxious about the prospect of me traveling overseas alone (*cough* Monica *cough* ;)) I will of course be keeping in touch with family while there. Chris has offered me full use of his computer, as well as his cell phone, and international calling cards are quite easy to purchase there. My mother will also have all of his contact info. I only say this to put minds at ease...as for me, I don't have any single, solitary doubt that this trip will be one of the best of my life and I have absolutely no worries about it. :) I really do love this guy and can't wait to be able to see his house, friends, and family in person...and of course him, but no, I don't phrase it as I can't wait to meet him. We know each other so well at this point that it's just ridiculous to say we haven't met. We haven't touched, but we've met. (Wow, that's either my second or third rant about that on my blog...can you tell it's a touchy subject? ;)) Anywho, can't wait to give some updates. Keep an eye on Facebook as well since I'm sure I'll add some pictures there as I travel about. :D

And now for your viewing pleasure...a Chris slideshow! :)
