oh to be there now..

westminster abbey, that is. why? because, kate and william's wedding day is finally here! okay, so i am one of those royal family freaks and i am so excited that this day is here. i have loved every minute of the hype and i am currently pondering which channel to dvr because every single channel will be broadcasting the royal wedding. do i go with my favorite commentators on nbc? or go with the reporting facts and replays of cnn? and then what about tlc? they have been doing a wonderful job all week of showing lots of interesting royal family specials that i have thoroughly enjoyed. decisions, decisions. i only wish i didn't have to work all day so i could watch everything live. i could always wake up at 3 am and catch the beginning of the hype. too bad i love sleeping more.

okay, so why such a love for the brits? well, you may not know this, but i had the privilege of living there for two months one summer. it was one of the best summers of my life. i loved every minute of it - even the rain. here we are back in 2007 at buckingham palace.

this was taken about three hours after i got off the plane and surprised tyler for his 21st birthday. yes, i know i look a little jet-lagged, but hey i won the best girl friend ever award for that surprise.

above is a picture of prince william {yes, that really is him!} and camilla {hiss} at the queen's birthday parade. the parade took place just a few days after i arrived and it was so cool! royal fam love.

and here we are looking so young and carefree. oh to go back to that summer! or just to go back to london! {hint.hint} gosh, now i really miss it. enjoy the festivities!
