Reunited And It Feels So Good.

AHHH CHELSEY AND ALEXA ARE HERE!!

words cannot begin to express how excited i am to have my two best friends with me in london. i havent seen chelsey since we both moved out of our apartment in december, so we were beyond excited to see each other today. 

so its already 2:11 AM and i have to be up and ready to go by 9:30 AM for an extensive list of activities tomorrow... but ill give you a quick 411. 

i had a wonderful start to my day... garbage truck at 7:00 AM...woooo. this was then followed by a freezing cold run, and then off to classes. luckily my professor let us out of class early so i heading back to my place to grab lunch before chelsey and alexa arrived. erin picked them up from the train station and then  brought them back here to drop off their bags.

we then headed to harrods. the biggest department store ive ever seen in my entire life. like unreal... ill go into more detail tomorrow and post pictures but this place had everything. clothing, restaurant, grocery shops, pet store, toy store... holllly mollleyyy!!! i was in heaven. 

after we went to happy hour and dinner at roadhouse. delicious. i got a steak mexican salad.. .yummm. best protein ive had so far. they always over cook everything, and this... this was perfect. 

we then ventured back to our dorm where we got ready and headed out for the night. we just went to some bars around here, but we wanted to keep it low key because we have a busy day in front of us tomorrow. lots of sightseeing! (which means plenty of pictures tomorrow)

before i go to sleep, i want to just say a quick word about my grandpa.

strange that its the day after maggies birthday, but today is the 11th anniversary of my grandpas passing.

although he passed away when i was still young (9 yrs old), i can still remember heading down florida to visit grandma and grandpa every year... and before that venture to their lake house up in new york. 

i often thing about the times i have missed out on, losing my grandfather at such a young age.

there is not a day that i do think about the times we had together,
 as well as  imagining the amazing moments
we would have had later in the years.

if only we could go back to the warm summer days, went all we needed to worry about was
making a sand castles far enough away from the tide
and eating out ice cream before it would melt all over our hands. 

its days like these, that id give anything to experience 

love you forever grandpa. 

hope im making you proud.
