Well I'm home from England!
To say it was amazing trip is an understatement. I saw more things in 3 weeks then I had in all the summers that I have been in college. So much history! So many Sheep! SO MUCH FOOD! We walked on average 5 miles a day, walking through cold and rain but so worth it.
It is interesting to see how people are the same no matter where you are. And yet so very different.At times I felt like I was sitting in Spanish class all over again because I couldn't understand what was being said to me! But once you get used to accents and slang everything gets a lot easier.
Of course I got sick while I was there. Cold plus dog equals fun allergies for Brittain! But I didn't let it ruin my trip in the least. With lots of water and medicine I was able to enjoy walking around after one day of being really sick.
I only saw one show while I was in England, Avenue Q.... Amazing! I stand by what I have been saying all summer. I didn't want to see a lot of theatre while I was there. I wasn't there to see theatre. I was there to see history and family and get to be a non theatre person for a little while. And the break from it was much needed but now I am ready to jump feet first right back into theatre, because I missed it but like I said it was nice to be able to do other things that I love.
I guess I should mention that I did get ENGAGED! :D
It was at a castle with one of the most amazing views that we had seen the whole trip, granted I am slightly biased about it now. It is funny to think that when we started dating neither one of us wanted to get married. But in time it just felt right. Being together felt right.It is weird to make plans with someone, to talk about a future and it doesn't scare me. It's still a weird concept to me but hey I have 3 years before we plan on getting married, plenty of time to figure out how to reach both of our goals and dreams.
