We have arrived! Despite the lack of leg room, the flight went by quickly with the help of multiple naps, reading The Blindside, and watching Harry Potter to get in the London mood. Customs was breeze and soon enough we were back home with Grandma Rita and Grandpa Tony. After a nap, a shower, and record breaking speed present wrapping, we were ready to go out again. We've just returned from a lovely evening with the Sheldon Family, getting to see all the cousins and exchange Christmas gifts. Phone and computer both not working so far, but hopefully things will get fixed. Dinner is on the table so goodbye for now!

After months of getting ready I am about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Sitting at the Charlotte airport, I am waiting to get on a plane to London Gatwick where I will be interning at the Ritz London for 3 weeks. But before I start my internship I will be trying out for the England National Under 19 Womens Lacrosse Team. I'm excited, nervous, and can't wait for it all to begin, despite the screaming child sitting behind me. Oh goody... there's another one on my right. Ta ta for now.. see you in London!
