Well, I am officially 21 now, in case anyone had missed the memo. Today was an amazingly fun day. I had fish and chips for lunch, Earl Grey and shortbread for tea, pasta cabanora for dinner and profiteroles for dessert. It was a loverly day. It was low key and had a good balance of packing and celebrating. For dinner all of the girls went out to eat and again it was a great combination of celebrating my birthday and the last night in London.
I cannot believe this adventure is coming to a close. Do you realize that I have spent the last seven weeks in London and now it's time for me to come home? That is so crazy. I have absolutely loved my time over here and I have learned a lot, some of which I expected to learn and some I didn't. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this trip was such a rousing success because of all the prayers and support from my friends and family, namely you all. I am forever grateful for every prayer, email, facebook note and everything else. I could not have done it without you.
Tomorrow morning the taxis leave our flat at 7am, so I will probably be up at 5:30am. I leave London on a plane at 11am and due to the magic of time zones arrive in Chicago at about 1pm. I will be hanging out with the Chicago Harris' for a night and then be on my way to Oviedo Wednesday afternoon. Prayers for a safe journey would be much appreciated. And I will let you all know when I'm home safely.
I will also blog a few more times because I realize there are adventures I have yet to report. Hopefully my schedule in Oviedo will allow for a few more blog posts and a lot more sleep... at least for the first days.
Alright, well I am going to spend the last few hours here finishing packing, chatting to my parents on my birthday and trying not to think about how early I'll have to be awake tomorrow.
Good from London for the last time!
