The Big News

Okay, okay! I know it's been a whole week since we got back from London and I still have not posted anything about our trip. But it has been one whirlwind of a week and I have been too busy soaking it up to write!!!

Klas and I had the most wonderful time in London. It was more than either of us could have ever imagined...especially true for me, who was unaware of what Klas had planned to do while we were there :)

As most of you already know... Klas proposed to me in London and I said yes! We're engaged! I can still hardly believe how lucky I am to have found the man of my dreams and that he managed to completely surprise me with something so incredibly important and special. We couldn't be happier about being engaged and really appreciate all the love, support and congratulations we have received from everyone.

Clearly, the engagement became the highlight of our trip but we also managed to visit the British Museum, Tate Modern, Hyde Park, and Harrods. We saw Wicked in the West End and attended a concert at the London Jazz Festival. Of course, we also did our share of walking around the city to visit all my favorite neighborhoods and see all the famous sights including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminister Abbey. We ate great food, talked to some friendly Brits, oh yeah, and we saw Prince Charles and Camilla coming out of a party and getting into their car (no, I'm not kidding). What more could we have possibly asked for?!

It was somewhat surreal walking those streets again and thinking back to who I was and what I thought of the world when I lived there four years ago. Although London seemed to be just as I remembered, I sure have changed a great deal. I think we won't wait four years to go back. Now, London holds an even more special place in my heart.
